Dryad

Dryads are beautiful, intelligent tree sprites. They are as elusive as they are alluring, however, and dryads are rarely seen unless taken by surprise—or when they wish to be spotted.

The dryad’s exquisite features, delicate and finely chiseled, are much like an elf maiden’s. Dryads have high cheek bones and amber, violet, or dark green eyes.

Dryads often appear clothed in a loose, simple garment. The clothing they wear is the color of the oak grove in the season they appear. They speak their own tongue, as well as the languages of elves, pixies, and sprites. Dryads can also speak with plants.
