Nymphs are magical beings from the forces of nature.
Its creation is simple; the natural essence of nymph creates a body and «inhabits» it. This body is always that of a woman of enormous attractiveness and charm. In addition, she retains the appearance of a young woman throughout the years.
The nymph is a very intelligent being, with a quick and resourceful mind. They add to her charm by speaking in her own musical language. Any animal that is near a nymph will approach to be caressed by her, not caring to have even her worst enemy near her.
The nymphs only inhabit the most beautiful places; ice palaces, oceanic caves, crystalline lakes and streams, and the most wonderful forests.
These charming beings are not aggressive, on the contrary, they will try to flee whenever they notice danger nearby. They have the capacity to escape creating a dimentional door. Despite her peaceful nature, few dare to confront a nymph, since the simple fact of contemplating her produces, in most cases, irreversible blindness. If someone contemplates a naked nymph, she can die instantly.

Despite being very calm creatures with an orderly life, they are sometimes seduced by the music of the satyrs’ pipes and accompany them in their noisy and raucous wine festivals.
Nymphs hate ugliness and evil. Their condition as magical beings of nature makes them defenders of forests, lakes, rivers and oceans. Heal hurt animals, repair flowers and broken trees.
A nymph can live for several generations, so they tend to know their surroundings well and where most of the secret places and hidden entrances are.
There is a variety of water nymphs known as undines that can be found in lakes and freshwater.
