I Want to Be a Faction Leader - Part One

The war for the Obelisk has already finished, but our Neopets are still fighting in the skirmishes for the honour and the fame (and the boons!) of their favourite factions!

To declare their membership to one of the six factions, our Neopets maybe wish for a suitable outfit.

We thought of different faction leader-themed customisations based on neopoints multispecies wearable items, so that our Neopets will be able to perfectly representing their side during the battle, whatever species they are!

Some outfits are really difficult to emulate, because of a lack of NP multispecies clothes, so we decided to add some alternative neocash items to create more realistic and accurate customisations.

We also decided to split this into two different articles because we found the reading quite dispersive; every outfit is made by at least nine wearable items, and we don't want you to be bored by this!

LANIE AND LILLIE

These two undead twins are the leaders of the The Awakened. Lanie and Lillie think the war is a party and they have a really sweet tooth, as they are convinced that there's a cake inside the Obelisk!

1 - Fancy Pink Gown

This is a really cheap dress and its cost is around 1,000 neopoints a piece. The form and the shades are amazingly similar to the Lanie and Lillie dresses! If you want a Neocash alternative, you can use the spiffy Young Sophies Dress; it was on of the limited edition bonuses of the Tale of Woe Mystery Capsule.

2 - School Girl Shoes

The School Girl Shoes are a bit expensive, as you can buy this item in shops at around 95,000 neopoints a piece. If you take a careful look to Lanie and Lillie outfit you can easily see that they wear the same shoes... we think that this item is essential to be more similar as possible to the evil twins! Moreover, this pair of shoes can be used to create many different outfits, so it's worth its cost.

3 - Cute Dark Wig

This wig costs only 1,100 neopoints each and it is girly, a bit aggressive and really versatile. Its colours and its adorable bow make the Cute Dark Wig really similar to the Lanie and Lillie bob one! In addition, the little skull on the bow really fits the twins' look.

4 - Fyoras Eyeshadow

You can buy the Fyoras Eyeshadow at the trading post for around 500,000 neopoints a piece. It's not a cheap accessory at all, but it's really worth its price. This amazing eyeshadow gives to your Neopet both a smart and charming look at the same moment. It can actually divert your opponent during the battle and guarantee an easy win!

5 - Adorably Pink Lollypop

The Adorably Pink Lollypop is a prize for participating in the War for the Obelisk and can be found in the prize shop of the mentioned event for 25,000 plot points. If you missed it, though, you can easily buy it in shops for around 65,000 neopoints each. Its colour matches perfectly with this outfit and the Adorably Pink Lollypop reflects the Lanie and Lillie personality! This is also a really pretty, girly item that can be used in a lot of other customisations, so we think it is a great closet investment.

6 - Malicious Dark Faeries Background

You can buy this spooky background at only 11,000 neopoints a piece. The different blue and purple shades match with the other items of our outfit and its gloomy, bewitched atmosphere is perfect for an Awakened fan!

This pair of trousers is a hard-wearing item, running around 25k each. It really is the best neopoint wearable you can find on the market to wear during a skirmish!
