Sprites
Immortal
Sprites are mischievous creatures with a wicked sense of humor, spawned from the spirits of trees, rivers and wind. No one is really sure how long they've been around. However it is known that they arrived about the same time as the nymphs. They tend to be shorter than humans, ranging from 4'9" to 5'5". They are slenderly built, looking quite fragile and frail. Do not be fooled, they are powerful magicians.
Sylph
These are the sprites of the air. They can manipulate and morph with the wind, making them appear to dissolve literally into thin air. Sylphs can't abide fire and do everything in their power to stay as far away from it as possible. The sylph as a shy sub-race, preferring to keep to themselves. This doesn't stop them form making appearance every now and again to play a trick or two on some poor unsuspecting person. In appearance they are pale in skin tone, verging on white. Their hair is a mess of silvery locks, and their eyes appear to have no pigment, instead shifting from white to the black of the pupil without a break. They can call up winds, ranging from a gentle breeze to hurrican weather depending on their strength, training and gift.
Valis
Valis, also known as naiads or nyads, are the water sprites. They live near large bodies of water. It is more common for them to reside in or around fresh water but it is no unheard of them living with salt water just as successfully. They breath both air and water, but they can not survive long away from the life giving aqua. Valis are more out going than their cousins, the sylph, but they are still reserved. They are a peaceful strain on the sprites, and mostly harmless. However when threatened the valis prove to be perfectly capable of holding their own. Valis range in various shades of blue. Anything from a pale winter blue, to a deep navy. Their skin, hair, eyes and finger nails are all stained in a mixture of these blues. It is not uncommon that a valis will have more then one shade. They can summon mighty waves, and turrents. The more adept can cause it to rain.
Bosque
Bosque are the earthen sprites. They each have a specific tree which is their life force. If their tree dies they do as well. For this reason the bosque tend to keep their tree a secret from anyone and everyone, fearing that someone who means them harm may destroy their life. They get on best with their valis relatives, but much like the sylph keep to themselves. Bosque are cunning, they don't mess around when in a fight. And they like to get straight to the point. They're very 'down to earth', they don't have unrealistic expectations nor do they sit around dreaming. Of course just like all sprites they love a good practical joke. The bosque are all shades of green and brown. They can be just green, just brown, or a mixture of both. Their skin tone is more commonly an olive or brown, just like the barks of trees, but they are sometimes seen with a luminescent green undertone. They have the power to manipulate plants, and speed up growth.
