Dryads

Dryads are a type of Nymph, residing primarily in forests and woodland. They are spirits of the trees, born from and residing in every new tree grown -- thus, there are many Dryads living within cities and towns.

Appearence
Dryads are capable of altering their appearance to blend in with humans, but many (especially those outside of urban areas) prefer not to. Their appearance varies from tree to tree, based on what tree they are born from and what that tree has grown to look like.

In general, Dryads appear to be made entirely of the wood of their tree; humanoid in shape and taking on an almost carved appearance. Their hands and feet tend to be closer to twisted branches and roots, and their hair is usually also flexible, twisting branches intertwined with leaves or blossom depending on the season. Some older Dryads may appear more wizened and hold more twisted, gnarled branches.

Those who wish to appear more humanoid do so to several levels. Some are completely human-appearing, while others may choose to retain defining characteristics such as the branch/leaf hair or hooked, wooden fingers.

Fashion
Few Dryads wear clothes, but those who do usually prefer flowing capes, dresses and robes which allow free movement of their branches, flowers and leaves. Very few Dryads will wear shoes, gloves or hats due to their restrictive nature
