Nereid

Personality/Behavior
Of all nymphs, the most unpredictable are the Nereid. Like the waves of their watery home, they can be placid and serine one moment and spiteful and cruel the next going through extreme emotional shifts with little to no provocation. They are fiercely protective of the sea and have a deep rooted disdain for most land born fae, finding them to be arrogance in their claim of being masters of their domain.

Description/Biology
Nereid's are the most rarely seen in their solid forms, normally appearing as vaguely humanoid forms composed of seawater with glowing yellow embers for eyes. When they do choose to appear in a solid shape, they appear as curvy and buxom elven females with dark blue skin, stark white hair and piercing ice blue eyes.

Climate/Terrain
Oceans

Species Relations
Nereid's are the only Nymph who utilized their innate magical gifts to create their own progeny, by altering and advancing the evolution of sea life, they brought about four races loyal to their will; the Merrow, Scylla, Merfolk and Undine. Most Nereid only choose to interact with their childer and any other aquatic race. However fisherman and sailors who take great care to pay tribute to the sea goddesses and show their admiration respect can win their favor, being rewarded with calm seas and bountiful fishing.

Love/Courtship
Nereid only know love as a mother loves her children but has no concept of romantic love with a mate.

Sex
Like all Nymphs, Nereid's periodically need to indulge in their passions and as such usually takes those among her aquatic races that have proven themselves worthy. Such loyal subjects are treated with surprising levels of affection and care, as their aquatic mistresses have no qualms with rewarding such loyalty. Occasionally a Nereid will entice sailors who have disrespected her, temporarily granting them the ability to breath underwater as she drags them below the surface and takes great care in slowly tormenting and teasing them with the sadistic pleasure of a child burning ants with a magnifying glass.
