associated legend/lore : Dryads are the female spirit guardians of trees. They are affiliated with one tree—their hometree, in which they live and from which they draw strength. Dryad life expectancy is as long as their tree’s. Essentially, a Dryad cannot be mortally wounded outside of their tree. They can be injured—badly—but it will simply require them to return to their hometree. Dryads are often flirtatious and sexually free. There are as many varieties of Dryads as there are species of Trees. The life of a Dryad depends on the tree with which they associate. All Dryads are spiritually linked to a certain tree - their hometree. As is, Dryads don’t die accidentally. They can at any time walk into their hometree, passing from visibility with no obvious door or gate. Inside this space they are utterly unreachable, though not invulnerable, the hometree can still be assaulted. Dryads can bring others into their space, though this is tiring.
Dryad abilities:
All Dryads have nightvision.
Dryads have their own language, but can also understand most fairy languages. They can speak regional languages (in this case, English) as well.
The Dryad can identify plants, animals, and pure water with perfect accuracy.
Dryads have excellent grasps on herb lore, thus knowing what can heal and what can hurt. Often, they can make poultices and salves for different ailments.
As they are magically alluring—appearing to those they enchant as indescribably beautiful—Dryads have the ability to charm individuals magically. If you are weak minded, you are far more susceptible to being charmed.
The Dryad, due to the ability in nature lore, is able to sing/tease the grasses weeds and even trees to entwine in a manner that can even be able to use the vegetation to hinder potential attackers and enable her to either protect herself or others.

appearance : Feá has the ashy grey skin colouring of a beech tree’s bark. Her eyes, like her hair, change colour with the leaves of her hometree (Green in summer, pink when the hometree blooms in spring, oranges and yellows in fall, and silvery in the winter (when the leaves are gone). Feá’s hair is comprised of rows of leaves in strand like quality which reaches down to her knees. The only time there are not leaves is in the winter, when her hair is sparse branches which resemble the leaf-strands. In general, Feá has never worn clothing. She’s never seen a need for it, as she has no shame regarding her body. That being said, she has a willowy and thin body with long legs and arms, a small chest, long neck and a heart-shaped face. Generally, she’s is considered extremely attractive, despite her odd colouring, and the aura of magic only makes her seem more appealing.
Feá stands at 5’10” flat footed and often has the appearances of gliding and ever constant movement. Even when standing still, she appears to sway—like gently trembling branches. She’s quick to smile and laugh and can often be seen with an animal of some sort. Sometimes more than one.

brief history : Feá doesn’t really like staying within a mile radius of her hometree. She adores its branches and strong trunk and beautiful leaves just as much as the next Dryad adores her hometree, but Feá is insatiably curious. So she decided to leave her life of sitting in the branches and singing to birds before enchanting passersby with conversation and kisses to go and explore the city nearby the wooded hollow.
When Feá arrived in Zephyr, she was instantly fascinated by the variety of people and beings she met. Though she always returns to her hometree, Feá ventures often into Zephyr to socialize and experience.
personality & values overview : Beech trees represent tolerance, lightness of spirit and word, and patience. This fits Feá to a tee. Her general way is really light and airy. She had a good and easy sense of humour and a general enjoyment for existence. However, she isn’t naive and she has convictions that she will not budge on, like the preservation of nature (obviously) and the mistreatment of others. She will not accept others, particularly loved ones, being harmed or harassed. She despises judgmental people, as well. She’s very much a free spirit who is entirely in tune with nature.
Feá is a very confident woman, and has no shame or embarrassment about bodies or sexuality. If Feá deems you appealing, she will likely offer you sex or flirtation as if it is the most natural thing in the world, because, to her, it is. As Dryads are immune to disease, it hardly matters to Feá. I’d describe her as a panromantic pansexual. Body and appearance LITERALLY makes NO difference to her. Nor does sex. However, she can recognize boundaries once they are explained.
Feá dislikes satyrs, fauns, and centaurs in general because she thinks they are brutish and awful, but she would give them the opportunity to prove themselves. Feá believes every creature deserves a chance.
If you mess with Feá’s hometree, she will come after you with all the wrath of the forest. That is her home, her mother, and her family. She is intensely in tune with nature, and harming it in general would bring on her wrath. Not a good call.
Feá is not accustomed to many kinds of social conditions and norms. Personal space and touching isn’t really something she registers as bad, and she might laugh at you for getting offended, though she will take note for next time and feel bad for being insensitive later.
Strength: Anything nature related is an affinity of Feá’s. She is a defensive fighter (if fighting comes into play), and RIDICULOUSLY charismatic. She also has nature magic.
Weaknesses: Harming Feá’s hometree would seriously tick her off or endanger her. Feá cannot be very far from her tree for long. She can leave it and go as far as she pleases, but the further she gets away from the hometree, the more difficult it is for her to sustain abilities, stay awake, think, and even breathe. (I have some theories about grafting, however. Or descendants of the hometree.)
additional notes : None that I can think of! :D
