The Original Race-

The original nymphs were predominantly female. They are more out going than their counter part, the sprites.
Nymphs often make their home in mountainous country. They like secluded groves, by springs and rivers and other bodies of fresh water. They can also be found housing in valleys and cool grottoes.
It's unsure exactly when the original race came about but, they turned up at the same time as the sprites. Because they are so quite, they seemed to just be there one day. They have been known to venture out into human towns from time to time to explore. There has even been mingling of their blood with other immortals.
Nymphs average just a little taller than the sprites. They often stand around 5' - 5'6". They appear to have very willowy forms, pale skin with hair and eyes ranging from the colour of rain, to the emerald blades of grass, to the bark of trees. Their hair is often very curly and unruly, probably their most distinct feature. There are two main colours, charcoal black and fiery red. Though dark shades of brown have been seen.

The Evolved-

The evolved nymphs aren't of pure blood. They are a mix of nymph and often human or elven. For this reason their hight can reach 6 foot. There is a noticeable balance between the male and female nymphs of this kind.
They are also more attuned to civilization and have less connection with the wilderness. The evolved nymphs live in houses in small villages, or even the larger towns. They are extremely adventurous and far more daring than their original sisters and brothers.
The change in hight has been their only change due to the mixed blood. There are less red heads, and more brunettes. Blonds are starting to appear but they are still few and far between. Their eye colour is less vibrant, large amounts of human blood can give their eyes a washed out appearance. Both the male and females are more sturdy in their build, the males noticeably more muscular.</sub>
