Magic Resistance. The nymph has an advantage on all saving throws against spells and other magical effects.   Aquatic spirit. The nymph can breathe water and walk on it.   Natural Goddess. Nonmagical animals are automatically friendly towards the nymph. Fey and nonmagical animals may come to her aid if she ever needs help.   Blinding beauty. Beuty of the nymph is beyond mortal comprehension and can blind anyone who gazes her. All creatures in 30ft of the nymph must make charisma saving throw DC 16, or be blinded permanently as through blindness spell. A nymph can suppress or resume the effect as a bonus action.   Unearthly Charm. The nymph may target all humanoids or beasts within 30 ft. who are able to see the nymph, or focus the effect on one target only. If the target can see the nymph, it must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed. The charmed creature becomes infatuated with the nymph and will protect her from any threat, do their best to fulfill every favor the nymph asks of them, as long as it is not entirely contrary to their nature. Each time the nymph or her allies do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself with a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts for 24 hours or until the nymph dies, is on a different plane of existence from the target, or ends the effect as a bonus action. If the target's saving throw is successful, the target is immune to the nymph's unearthly beauty for the next 24 hours.   If the nymph concentrates on only one target at full force, the effect is potentially lethal. The saving throw DC becomes 18. Result of the target's saving throw.

Nymph is a physical manifestation of beauty. Their spirit is tied to the place they are spawned from as manifestation of the loveliness of their surroundings. As such, hurting the glade hurts the Nymph. Their Tears can make powerful love potions, and bathing in their pool raises charisma of a traveler bathing in it by +4 points for 48 hours. They are often respected and get gifts from their admirers.   Nymphs are solitary creatures and try to hide from prying eyes. If Nymph or their home grove is attacked, they attack viciously to defend their home. They do like music, however, and maybe if you have little cunning or talent, nymph might appear and aid you in your quest or give you one of her gifts. While shy, they are curious after all. But one gaze of nymph might make you blind, so be careful out there!   Nymphs are always female in appearance, do not require food, drink, and air, and if no harm happens to their grove while they are away, dead nymph appears back to their glade live and well after 1d4 days.

Nymphs can be found in glade or grove of exceptional natural beauty was it forest, meadow or a coral reef. They do, however, like to be near pools of water, and cannot go too far from their homes.
