【 Personality 】
Mariphine is a sweet and kind girl who is shy to start off with and slowly lets you into her world when you gain her trust. When you gain her trust, she'll tell secrets and stories about her. She loves nature and also cares deeply towards nature, due to her role as a nymph and being seen as the queen.

She is very community driven and loves to be helpful in any way possible either it's giving out food or money or looking after someone. She loves taking care of the unfortunates to also show that being a Noble doesn't mean to ignore what's wrong with the lower classes.

Mariphine is a hopeless romantic and would love to have someone who loves her endlessly and for her. She wants someone who always support, protect and make her better. Mariphine is seen as motherly as well due to how she was brought up by the teachings of her mother , Queen/ Lady Thena , by other nymphs to be seen as a perfect mother and wife in hopes of continuing their heritage.

【 Information】

The Nymphs are essentially physical incarnations of the forces of nature such as water or wind or in Mariphine's case - wood. They are a mysterious race, believed to have been created to preserve what is called "The Great Balance" As a result, they are spirits of neither good nor evil and will aid the side that is necessary to preserve or realign the afore mentioned balance. Nymphs can born from nature itself, one day appearing from a minor gust of wind or newly budded tree in spring. They may also be born through mating with other sufficient races (depending on the race, mortal or immortal). Depending on the nymph, in the case of a female offspring, it will be born a nymph. This method of nymph creation is usually very rare, due to their nature of separating themselves from mortal society

Wood Nymphs are identified with particular species of trees. Often their bodies become part of the trees they inhabit. Dryads are associated with oak trees, Hamadryads with nut, elm and fig trees, and Meliae with ash trees. Wood nymphs are attuned to all plant life. They are seen as the most spiritual of the nymphs. Wood nymphs are almost always in all forests and in some reside in castle gardens. They are fairly common however they too are also elusive though they perhaps interact with humans and elves the most. They are widely known for their celebrations as well as their blessings of plant productivity. They are great tricksters of the forest and are fierce protectors of it as well willing to sacrifice themselves in order to protect it.

Wood nymphs usually have a slight green skin tone though are predominantly fairly tanned. Their hair is either a rich brown or a shade of green, or in some cases a mix of both. Their eyes have the enchanting ability to withhold the attention of whom she desires and come in a variety of colours usually relating to the tree that one is born from or their mother. They wear clothing fashioned from plant leaves, petals, bark and other related materials. They are said to be almost as beautiful as their water nymph cousins. They are a regal people and hold dearly onto tradition, celebrating the changes in the seasons or simply a harvest moon. They are a very cheerful people.

Plant life is very dear to them and though they are capable of manipulating it they are always wary not to use it simply as a tool. They are valiant protectors of the Great Balance and many of them become warriors in order to observe the matters within the world. Some nymphs complete a ceremony known simply as the bonding, in which a nymph bonds her very existence to a tree or in rare cases a plant. This grants the nymph immense power capable of moving entire forests or causing a plain of grass to grow unimaginably high. The risk that comes with it however is that if the tree is killed the nymph bonded to the tree will die as well.

Nymphs may be reborn by burying their body underneath the seed of a tree and in a few years a young nymph will step out of a young tree, completely unaware of her past. A nymph may also be born through the mating of a nymph and some type of forest spirit which guarantees that the female daughter is a full blooded nymph. In rare cases though not quite uncommon a nymph and a mortal, usually an elf or a human, will elope or mate which doesn't always guarantee that the daughter born will be a nymph but the half child will have some nymph abilities. Nymph blood will forever flow through the daughters of the family and in some cases a descendant of a nymph will be born a full-blooded wood nymph.

Similar to ice nymphs, powerful wood nymphs will lay claim to an entire forest and become the queen of the entire wood or forest. The queen is usually bonded to a tree deep within the forest and it is her duty to protect everything and everyone within the forest. Wood nymphs are usually well acquainted to humans because of they often appear out of the blue to help people who have become lost in the forest. They are connected very closely to both people as well as spirits and are viewed as the true in between.

The Forest she has the most bonded to , and the queen of, is the Sythu Forest. This was where her mother and her father (who was a half - wood nymph) was laid to rest after giving birth to Mari. But also the Sythu Forest lives through here due to the bond from her mother and father.

The Enleth refers to the range of forests that her family has whilst coexisting with the elves.
