 ==Origin==
 Neferet the Green may be a reference to Nefertiti, an Egyptian queen of the 18th dynasty, or to Nofret (also sometimes called Neferet or Nefert), an Egyptian princess from the 4th dynasty; 'Nfr-t' is a transliteration of the hieroglyphs meaning "beautiful woman". Given that the Wizard role uses a [[Pantheon]] of Egyptian gods, a reference to Ancient Egypt seems likely.

		+	Neferet the Green's spellcasting attack is unique in that it uses 8-sided dice, rather than 6-sided dice or zero dice.

 ==History==
 Neferet the Green replaced the [[Wizard of Balance]] as Wizard Quest Leader in [[NetHack 3.4.0]], perhaps because Wizards, who were always neutral up to and including [[NetHack 3.2.3]], can now be neutral or chaotic. Your quest leader's alignment is adjusted to match your starting alignment, and it doesn't make sense for a Wizard of Balance to be chaotic.
