Name: Nafaria

Age: 19

Profession: Queen of the Bad Fairies.

Friends: Malena (her little sister), the other Bad Fairies.

Family: Nafaria has a pretty big family, but she’s closest to her sister, Malena.

Claim to Fame: Being the most powerful Bad Fairy of them all. Nafaria’s goal is to take over the Magical Forest with her bad magic.

Hobbies: Bad magic, spell casting, potion creation, mischief-making.

Proudest Moment: Almost taking over the Magical Forest. Nafaria has come close to reaching this goal several times, but she’s never actually succeeded. According to her, it’s only a matter of time.

Life Motto: “Do whatever it takes to get ahead. Always help yourself first.”

Nafaria, in fifty words or less: Nafaria definitely suits her role as the Queen of the Bad Fairies. She can’t stand good magic, and especially can’t stand Alyssa. Nafaria will do whatever it takes to eventually take over the Magical Forest – she’ll stop at nothing!

Who do you like more Alyssa or Nafaria?

Name: Alyssa

Age: 17

Profession: Queen of the Good Fairies

Friends: The other good fairies, PJ Collie, Crafty Kimmy

Family: Alyssa has a HUGE family. At her last family reunion, 200 fairies showed up!

Claim to Fame: Alyssa is the Queen of the Good Fairies. She is determined to keep the good magic in the Magical Forest.

Hobbies: Casting spells, flying, learning all about magic, avoiding Nafaria.

Proudest Moment: Every time she succeeds in bringing the good magic back to the Magical Forest and getting rid of Nafaria’s evil powers. It’s never easy being the Queen of the Good Fairies, but Alyssa is up for the challenge!

Life Motto: “Always use your powers for good.”

Alyssa, in fifty words or less: Alyssa is a sweet, kind fairy. Her strength and her gentleness combine to make her the perfect queen. Her fairy subjects are extremely loyal and would do anything to help her!

I love both of these adorable to Webkinz pets! I also began to wonder, which animal the Webkinz community likes more.  Are you more of a dog person, or a cat person? Or, do you love both the same?
