You said you love talking about their anatomy?? Well go on pls I’m still very interested (<- same anon as previously:p!)
(Ooc: I absolutely ADORE talking about their anatomy. My friend Charlie and I came up with all of it and I'm rlly proud of it :>
Outwardly, they look like a totally normal person. I already mentioned that their bones are made of wood. So while they are a bit more fragile than regular bone, it is easier for them to heal. Being half nymph [and a magician] gives them advanced plant-based magic, including creating and fixing any sort of plant. Tho, it does have physical side effects. Using too much magic in too short a time span can exhaust them, cause severe headaches, muscle cramps, and even fainting. So, since they can repair plant matter, all they need to do is have enough energy to use magic to heal a literal broken bone.
It changes their immune system a lot, too. They are half human, so they arent TOTALLY immune to human diseases, but it makes them a lot more resistant. Though, insects that eat wood, like wood mites, scare the everliving FUCK out of them. They will cry. And scream. And run away. [Im not even projecting, im fine with bugs]
Ik u mentioned in ur last ask that u arent in the arcana fandom, so i wont spoil any major story bits, but their resistance to disease is a major part of their lore, especially since i share this au with my best friend and Keften doesnt take the role of the mc from the storys pov.
Also, connected with their bones being made of wood, but their blood is technically a mix of blood and sap!! Theyre based off of a chestnut tree [pretty obv, given the blogs name but yk] so it would be that kind of sap.
Ive already mentioned the whole "flowers growing on them when their skin touches water" but i want to expand on that. Im a nerd when it comes to plants and also when it comes to flowers, more specifically their meanings in flower language. So, i like the idea that sometimes they sprout little plants when they feel any strong emotion, and the plant corresponds to that.
Their organ systems remain mostly the same. Theres not a lot of change when it comes to things like their circulatory system, respiratory system, reproductive system, etc. They are intersex, and maybe this is a weird thing to think abt my oc, but theyre a hermaphrodite and most likely infertile.
So yeah thats all my yapping for now :3 sorry for the rant but i love Keften sm <33 i might end up changing or adding to this in the future [more likely since im doing biology in school and right now i dont have much knowledge on anatomy] but thats it for now :>> )
