The Signs as Nymphs
Aries: Lampades, the nymphs of the Underworld; these nymphs serve both Persephone and Hecate, powerful goddesses, as ladies in waiting and torchbearers. Their skin and eyes glimmer like a candleās flame, colored a brilliant, heady orange or as dark as coal; their smiles are blinding and their laugh is like the crackle of a flame.
Taurus: Alseides, the nymphs of glens; Taurean nymphs reside in meadows and groves, basking in the sunshine, walking with the deer and caring for the plants and animals; their skin is always rosy and sun-kissed and it shimmers like gold and smattered with the same soft pattern as a doe, and eyes like a doeās as well, thick hair braided intricately and decorated with flowers.
Gemini: Aurae, nymphs of the breeze; Gemini nymphs drift through the air, playing with humanās hair and dancing through the leaves. Their skin is a soft, silvery blue, smooth as the sky, only broken by the small scales scattered across their cheeks and joints, all radiant blue; their hair floats around them and their voice is like chimes.
Cancer: Limnades, nymphs of lakes; these quiet nymphs drift through the murky water of lakes, playing with the fish and basking with alligators and turtles, and seducing anyone who might pass by. Their skin shimmers dully, slightly green in tint and their faces are tattooed with dark green stripes that decorate their cheeks like a trail of tears.
Leo: Anthousai, nymphs of flowers; these playful nymphs play in the forests, fields and gardens, flirting with unwitting humans and decorating themselves with flowers and plants. They smell like lilies and jasmine so butterflies flutter around their heads; their skin is patterned like irises, brilliant purples, golds and pinks, delicate like a water painting.
Virgo: Hydryades, nymphs of the trees; these quiet nymphs reside within trees and forests where they care for animals. Virgoan nymphsā skin is camouflaged so that they may blend in with the trees, dark and intricate patterns which stretch across their backs and decorate their faces, eyes slitted like a reptileās.
Libra: Nephelai, nymphs of the clouds; Libran nymphs are very rarely seen by humans as they reside in the clouds; they are dreamy, quiet and peaceful creatures who fly with the birds and provide the world with rain. Their skin is like pearl which varies from the softest white to the angry grey of a storm, their eyes are as pink as the sunrise and their hair floats around them in a haze.
Scorpio: Naiads, nymphs of freshwater; these nymphs can be found in rivers, lakes and springs where they hunt fish and anything else that wanders too close to the waterās edge. They also seduce any humans who happen upon them. Their eyes are large and dark to see underwater, their hair a messy tangle and nails long and sharp; their skin is scaled like a koiās but a brilliant silver or bronze.
Sagittarius: Epimeliad, nymphs of apple tress and flocks; Sagittarian nymphs follow flocks and explore the world around them, playing with horses and cows and goats and seducing their owners; when they sleep they return to their original state, an apple tree. Their eyes are bright like a spark, their hair white like apple blossoms and wool and their skin is patterned like the bark of a tree.
Capricorn: Oreiades, nymphs of the mountains; these nymphs are highly reclusive and quiet, they reside in the most remote mountains in the world and are very rarely seen by humans. They resemble the animal of their Sign, their pupils rectangular and their eyes a sharp gold, small horns curving from their foreheads; their hair is kept in tight pleats, their skin speckled softly to blend in with the jagged rocks.
Aquarius: Asteriai, nymphs of the stars; these nymphs live far away in the vast expanses of space where they drift and play in complete silence: constellations are their embrace, shooting stars their tears. Their skin is as brilliant as the sun, golden, red and even deep blue, and it shimmers in an unending pulse of light.
Pisces: Haliae, nymphs of the sea; Piscean nymphs reside in the sea and can occasionally be spotted dancing on the seashore. Their hair reaches their ankles, strands of pearls and shells woven within it; their skin has a pearlescent sheen from years spent in the water and small scales, pink and pearl-like, decorate their webbed hands and creep up their legs.

As an indigenous woman I need to talk about Frozen 2.
Elsa has been an extremely important character for me since I saw the concept art for frozen 1, months before its release when I was 14 years old. Iāve had the pleasure of working as Elsa since I was 15 years old.
Iām a white-coded indigneous woman. I was born looking exactly like how young Elsa was depicted. Pale skin, icy blonde hair (my natural colour has since darkened), and light blue eyes. Before I go further, Iām not SĆ mi, Iām Anishinaabekwe and indigneous to Turtle Island. At the time of Frozens initial release I was struggling a lot with my indigenous identity. I was rejecting it greatly and a symptom was bleaching my hair as light as I could get it. And so when I saw Elsa I immediately saw a physical resemblance. And then discovered she was isolated, lonely, afraid of herself. And as a 15 year old struggling with her identity and depression I resonated. And my lifelong best friend who is a year younger than me and who Iāve always referred to as my little sister looked and behaved exactly like Anna. We dressed as them. Eventually began working as them. When I finally went back to my natural hair colour I would always make the joke that I looked more like Elsaās mother than I did Elsa due to the dark hair and light eyes.
This year has been a huge deal for me in reclaiming my indigneous identity, and will undoubtedly go down as one of the most important years of my life due to this. When I dusted off my crown and brushed out my icy blonde wig to do a meet and greet as Queen Elsa before watching Frozen 2 boy did I not expect what I saw.
When it was confirmed that Iduna and Elsa, were indigneous I sobbed in my chair. Dresssed in my full Elsa costume I was sobbing in that dark theatre chair. I felt seen. The destruction of the colonial structure. Elsa claiming her identity. When Elsa made the decision to stay in the forest and learn the ways of the Northuldra people my best friend (who plays Anna) leaned over and whispered to me ājust like youā because of the work Iāve been doing within my own indigneous community especially as a Land Defender. And especially since a lot of my struggle with my indigneous identity is due to the death of my indigneous father.
Iāve seen a lot of non-indigneous people critiqueing Frozen 2, specifically Iduna for not ālooking nativeā. But these are probably the same people who would dismiss me as an indigneous woman for not ālooking nativeā when their only reference is āPocahontasā. That being said there is room for critique. I felt seen sure. And it is important to acknowledge that indigneous people come in many shades. But Iāve been physically represented my entire life. I want my brown cousins to feel seen. I want black-passing natives to feel seen. I donāt want my story to seem as if Iām saying there isnāt an issue with the fact that the three main characters of frozen are indigneous and yet white-coded. And that the darker toned characters are supporting roles because thats a story thatās been told far too many times. Iām also not saying thereās not a lot of other issues that may need to be discussed in regards to the film and itās indigneous representation. But I wanted to share my personal emotional experience.
But I did want to say, leave your āElsa and Iduna donāt look indigneousā comments out of your critiques. Itās lazy.
