Nymph

---

He said she was beautiful. I can't imagine how beautiful, to leave Elyra like that. Prettiest bird in town, even after three kids. She's looking for him, I heard. Hope she finds him. Hope she snaps him out of it...one of them adventurers said she sounded like a Nymph. Thought they were gone.

Carefree and Playful

Nymphs have a reputation for being care-free, playful, temptresses. They don't mean to be, but they can't help it. In the old days, a now-dead God crafted a race of women he thought would be a blessing on the wild. They were, and the few left are. They love their games, and forget that mortal men can't play them. They love their trees and the creatures that live with them. Nymphs seldom wander away from their hidden glades, and rarer still are those who venture into the world for more than hours at a time. They learn to look like Elves, and hide themselves by blending in. Some say they have a kindred spirit with Changelings that way. Always hiding what they are. Changelings would say they envy the Nymphs, who hide to avoid spell-bound courtships and jealous wives, and even husbands. They weave their hair around the natural plant-life that grows like crowns from their scalps, hiding that these branches are one with them with cleaver stylings like braids and bundles. These plants can give them away however, growing more full and lively with their emotions surging towards joy, and withering away as they sadden. Their skin holds a bark-like texture, that is almost imperceptible unless one investigates closely.

Curious and Cautious

Nymphs that wander into the world are highly cautious, in spite of their overwhelming curiosity. They know not to trust most outsiders, but refuse to hold them at an emotional distance. Their hearts are worn on their sleeves, and they hardly try to change it. Though they are quick to trust and quick to call friend, they choose carefully those who they do let close. They tend to pick a favorite, someone they hide behind when danger seems close. They are shy creatures that hesitate to fight, but try quickly to end conflict. Even if it means running, though they rarely do so without knowing their friends will flee with them. They run into the trees, and hide as one with nature.

Feywild Companions

Many of the Nymphs that remain after the spellplague hide away in the kingdoms of the Feywild. They can call for aid from these kingdoms, and depending on the kingdom they are bound to gain different kinds of aid when they need it. They will never truly abandon their home, or their friends; and if forced to choose between the two they would rather choose death, though they recognize that if a friend forces them to choose they are not truly a friend.
