Plant fae

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Hair

Other physical attributes

They have somewhat sharp canines, and black or dark green nails.   Plant fae may have features reminiscent of specific plants or trees.

All plant fae have some degree of internal plant magic. It's a form of photosynthesis, which makes them able to absorb sunlight, oxygen and moisture through their skin for a small energy boost (similar to an adrenaline kick).

Ecology and Habitats

Due to their internal plant magic, plant fae thrive in warm and damp environments. They are very ill suited for dry and/or cold climates.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Due to their internal plant magic, all plant fae are extremely sensitive to processed poisons such as drugs and alcohol. But on the other hand, they are almost immune to poisons from fresh plants and fruits.
