~And remember, as Oscar Wilde {friend of the nymphs!} has said,
'It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.'
Be charming! *impish wink*

entwined_in_ivy~ 'Forth, upon the dewy green I go!'
Name Elysia Willow
Description Elysia is a Woodland Nymph, who also dabbles in the watery elements. She is a friend of all the animals in the Grove, but most especially the Birds, Rabbits, and Squirrels. She is very slight, being only 4'5", but very round and curvy as well. Her hair grows to her knees, and falls in thick curly masses. It is prismatic, changing and glowing in colours of light green, blue, and purple, with gold flecks. Her skin is moon~white and shimmering, and very smooth. Her eyes, deep pools of light purple and gold, are entrancing. The vines and leaves seem to grow of their own volition over her body, making garments of green. Her voice can often be heard, as she dances and sings about The Grove, and few can resist its haunting notes.
Dwelling Elysia lives in the woods, near a pool. A ceiling of draped and woven moonshine trails overhead, keeping out the worst of the rain. Fixed upon it are glinting stars, and glowing images. The floor is soft green moss carpet, and there is furniture of tree~stumps. Many of the trees surrounding her glen have caused seats to grow out from them. Her bed is under a tree at the very edge of the glen. At the head, the tree coils and forms itself into a great headboard and two roots roots go out over the bed into the ground at it foot. Draped from these are sunset clouds woven into sparkling curtains.
avis_noctis~ 'Kya! Unto the wood fly we, and bear no strife in the unstained green!' 'Iircfae!'
Name Ihéy M'Anos
Description Ihéy is a (Forest/”Wood Water”) Nymph. She also has some of the "water blood" in her, that is, she is also of the Waters of the Woods, mainly pools and small streams. Her symbol is a silver leaf (the Anoslen), hence her name, "M'Anos", meaning "the Silver". Her hair is wheat-colored and slightly wavy and reaches to the middle of her back. Her eyes are green-blue, and her skin quite pale. She is about 5'7"-5'8" and wears mostly deep purple and silver scarves and drapes. Magic she can use but usually will not stray into the usual works outside of natural Nymphish nature, that is, the ability to disguise themselves as birds and to be unseen and mostly unheard to humans in the wood. Ihéy is kind of heart but could be called odd in nature to human perception; she is talks seldom and instead she uses her eyes to "speak" to people.
Dwelling A great moss-covered tree beside a clear woodland pool. High in the branches there is a kind of a roofed flet that she sleeps in. There are hanging from the ceiling many silvery trinkets and stones that she has collected from places across the forest. Her bed is of dried mosses and leaves though often she will sleep beneath her tree in warm weather.

She is a child of the Goddess, a seductive innocent, a daughter of water, a nature maiden. She loves to write and play with the animals that come to drink at the water. Her appearance is sweet, but watch out! Any lost and easily tempted man that comes near may soon find them in her watery grasp, drowning slowly. That is Gwineva Chay.
Dwelling Gwineva Chay resides in a brook. It is a medium-sized water pool with a waterfall, rocks, and plant life. It is a place hard to find, deep in the forest and if you lose your way, beware of the temptress water nymphs!

Dwelling: Misae Aiyana lives in a cave luxuriously outfitted, with a bed of silk and plush pillows.

Name ~*Meara Lyn*~

I am a protector of the water and the woods, and cherish all things that are alive. I would never allow anyone who visited my realm come to harm, and frequently rescue people who dwell too far in my pool. They awake with a song in their heart and a vague memory of me, dancing on the edge of their perception. It is my duty to keep the magic of the mer-creatures alive in this world, and to protect all who dare to dream and to believe.
Dwelling I live in the pool at the base of a waterfall on Manitoulin Island. It’s called Bridal Veil Falls and it is my home. I live here in solitude with the animals of the surrounding forests. I am quite fond of them, and am always happy to let them frolic and play in the mists. Every once in awhile, a curious human will come to my waterfall, trying to catch a glimpse of me, but I always dive down to the bottom and keep them guessing. But I am as curious about them as they are about me!

Name Galen Stormcrow
Description Galen is a playful and whimsical satyr of the high woods. His hair is the colour of the reddest of wine, and his exquisite horns have enchanted many a lass. He is a jovial creature, and can make any creature laugh, especially when actively pursuing previously unachieved levels of inebriation. He lives for story, drink, song, and game. He happily makes his home in the grove because it is a merry place where so many of these pleasures can be shared. He does have a knack for being a harbinger of curious troubles wherever he roves, thus Stormcrow. He does not like to think he is responsible for these troubles. Satyrs are a proud folk, and if you try to blame him, he will hide his face in his hooves, and a minute later he will act as though nothing has happened and announce a grand party for all!
Dwelling Galen lives on a mountain-side forest. His bed is under the majestic Lady of the Woods and surrounded by a peaceful oak grove. The world here is subtly carved to his convenience. He can enjoy a drink of the freshest of water, as the constant rush of a cool spring-fed brook fills his ears and lulls him to sleep.
cibeles~ 'Glory and light!'
Name Wysae, the Ladyhawk
Description As a lightning spirit, I am small, but powerful: my build is strong and curved, and my skin is golden and sun-kissed. My eyes are deep black with amber flecks, and can be soft and comforting, or intimidating. My gown is deep red and trails to the earth, loose, so it moves freely with me. It contrasts sharply with my raven-black hair, curly, thick, and wild. My movements are swift and restless, as though simply living isn't enough for my soul.
Dwelling I choose no dwelling but to roam under the stars, sleeping under the boughs of trees on the cool, soft grass.
anowyn~ 'By the heavens!'
Name Anowyn
Description Anowyn is a woodland fairy. She is short, but quite muscular; perfect for climbing trees and rocks all day. She is pale, and has hair that is long, straight, and full; it is of flaxen, honey brown hue. Her eyes reflect all of the beauties the Mother blessed her kingdom with; grey around the pupils, symbolizing the rock of the mountains; a thin band of topaz, representing the sun that greets us in the summer; spring green with teal stripes, representing the lush green plants and sea, and a dark greyish blue, symbolizing the night sky in winter.
Anowyn is deeply connected to her forest mountain realm; not only for the natural beauty, but because she senses the spirit of the Lord in Lady in all that thrives, and would do anything in her power to keep its divine nature. In turn, all that dwells in the realm protect Anowyn, and give her gifts, such as fur coats in the winter to keep warm.
Anowyn likes solitude for the most part, often finding the highest peaks and the most secluded coves to reside in, but seclusion gets a little lonely once in a while; occasionally you may see her frolicking with the other forest spirits. Although protective and nurturing, she possesses a spirit of fire when crossed. On the other hand, she possess a curious, playful nature; a favorite pasttime of hers is to pull little tricks and pranks on wandering human beings who have lost their way.
Dwelling Anowyn dwells in the beautiful forest up high in the mountains of the temperate north, near a beautiful clear ocean, where she can rest upon the branches of trees whose leaves never fall and view everything for miles upon miles. Anowyn loves seeing the ocean, the sun and moon rise and set, the waters reflecting their light and the trees and flowers illuminated; the heavens seem closer, and that is a comforting feeling to Anowyn. Being up in the mountains, but secluded in deep forests gives her the freedom, security, and beauty she so desires. When Anowyn retires for the night, she prefers to rest in a secluded cove covered partially by greenery; "preferrably with a beautiful view of the ocean," she says.
Other If she wishes to be in contact with humans, which is quite rare, she may take the form of an eagle or a large honey-brown wolf with "the eyes of a fairy".

Name Allouhette Y'nakara
Description Allouhette is a nereid; A voluptuous being with large, kelp green eyes ringed with long dark lashes. Wavy, raven hair cascades past her dainty knee caps while pale shells embellish her lengthy locks. Labia parted in a perpetual sigh are the colour of blushing primroses, occasionally exposing little white teeth forming a charming smile. Her skin is almost transparent in colour yet retains a snowy sheen. Along her spine cerulean spots, hereditary to her people, those of Nereus, spread out wards to her lithe limbs to fade into the milky pallor of her front. Short stature is one of her blessings, only reaching four feet and eight inches. This enables her swim into small crevasses so that she may discover enchanting caves or easily ride upon the bellies of dolphins. Small breasts are left bare for she feels no shame amid her silent, watery world and the sentient denizens. Timidly and with apprehension, she approaches land which is full of foreign entities and unfamiliar landscape. Although one comfort to her is the creatures, both minute and colossal, who cease their frolicking to engage in quiet conversation and nuzzling. Dragonflies land on her bony shoulders and elk nuzzle her feet. Ferocious predators discontinue their hunt to join former prey in lavishing her with affection. This is reminiscent of her underwater home where throngs of marine life would accompany her on her journeys through the vast seas.
Dwelling Amid the forest of draping vines and vibrant verdure moss, lies an immense pool of tranquil water. The clear waters glimmer with iridescent light of an unknown spectrum. Three bubbling springs quench the magickal pool's thirst with a eternal supply of fragrant lavender water. Flower petals float serenely on the surface while serpentine fish with elaborate fins swim beneath, mimicking sea dragons. Here Allouhette resides, combing her ebony tresses while her mellifluous voice fills the forest with orchestrated, nostalgic tales which enamor the minds and souls of those surrounding her.
