Water Nymphs

Water nymphs include the naiads, who manifest from rivers, lakes, springs, and other freshwater formations, and nereids, who manifest from oceans, seas, and other saltwater formations. Water nymphs are often mercurial and hard to read, but they also tend to be the most generous of nymphs toward humanoids, saving drowning sailors and providing fresh catches of fish to hungry villages. Water nymphs tend to come in vibrant hues of blue, while naiads may also take on green and brown hues and nereids may take shades of bright white and pitch black. Some parts of them may be formed entirely of water and serve as homes for fish or amphibious creatures, while others may be adorned in bright coral formations or drooping kelp and seaweed.
