Thorn Nymph

The Thorn Nymph is a member of the Fairies, and one of the most powerful flora-created Fae to boot. Thorn Nymphs are created by brambles and thorny vines growing tall and proud, so most are also proud and unflinching. Thorn Nymphs are very old, all of them being created as some of the first flora-created Fairies. The powers a Thorn Nymph possesses are impressive and numerous; powers possessed include:
  • flight by the use of wings
  • ability to hide the presence of oneself
  • growth of bramble from the Thorn Nymph's body
  • shaping of newly grown or preexisting vines
  • Razor sharp thorns
  • Incredible memories making them unable to normally forget events
  • Can absorb nearby vines into their forms to increase their size or heal wounds
  • Can alter what type of brambles they are manipulating
  • Produce seeds within their bodies and store them
There are only a few Thorn Nymphs alive in Continental currently. Some of the Thorn Nymphs were killed a few millennia ago by massive fiery Beasts.
