Origin
Nymphs are creation of afterworld after Malva had discussed the matter with Unysta to create new race to help the folk of Heirdorm, and possibly the others or just in afterlife. Nymphs are based off Wisps of Unysta's as they were the main source for the creation, wanting to give the ones troubled and unfulfilled in the daily plays a new goal to strive towards. With that some of the wisps have answered the call willingly, wanting to do more than they were offered previously and so Nymphs became a very recent creation, not even a year old. There aren't many Nymphs and majority of them are located within Heirdorm as a pilot project lead by Malva and Unysta.
As much as gods shouldn't interfere within mortal matters the Enrali folk were already a creation from the god intervention therefore it was bit easier to test the Nymphs in that region. And so to this day the Nymphs are living mainly within Heirdorm and afterworld tested by both of their creators to see if their addition to the world will not interrupt the balance and how much they really bring to Auria itself.
Religion and Customs
Due to Nymphs being a very recent creation there aren't any customs that they follow or created on their own, mainly adapting the ones from Enrali in Heirdorm as they are meant to help them out and their thin ranks.
As for religion the nymphs make prayers mainly to Unysta but also to Perisha and his creation - Malva as appreciation for giving them something to work for and be of aid to others. They do not do prayers to any other gods as of now.
Society and their Structure
Nymphs are hard-working creations that focus on assisting others. Their main goal of creation was to help the people of Heirdorm on Auria and the ones in Afterlife are meant to take care of unruly wisps that might be getting in too much mischief. Even when it's so early in their creation the Nymphs slowly start separating themselves into distinct groups that are tightly working with one another. However, many of them overlap into at least one more group, making them much more versatile. Their affinity towards the groups is very often dictated by their past lives and a general strong need to aid others. All of the caretakers are friendly towards others and are willing to help them out, whether physically or mentally.
Crafters - The main groups of Nymphs. It mostly consists of Nymphs that in their past lives had strong affinity to curiosity, learning by experiencing and creating. They're skilled in creation of new tools and things of use for general public, like benches, windows, shelters and more. They are much more efficient at creating than other Nymphs, allowing the others to focus on tasks they are more proficient at. If a crafter is ordered to create tools that they believe are meant for destruction and killing then their skills significantly drop, unable to perform at their best.
Caretakers - A medium sized group of Nymphs that has an affinity for taking care of others or helping them out if needed. It mostly consists of Nymphs that in their past lives had strong affinity to helping, learning and nurturing. They help both in physical and mental form whether taking care of young children, helping with carrying heavy items, nurturing wounded to full health and more. They are generally naturally talented to healing and supporting-oriented spells as well.
Combatants - The smallest group of the Nymphs. It mostly consists of Nymphs that in their past lives had strong affinity to being protective of others, nurturing and standing their ground. The group is the smallest due to the fact that many of the Caretaker traits do not combine well with headstrong individuals that aren't afraid to get into deadly fights to protect others as they often fell to more martyr-oriented situations instead. These ones are capable in equal measure to offensive and defensive spells, taking blows for the others to cover them from harm.
Teachers - The second smallest group, just above Combatants. It mostly consists of Nymphs that in their past lives had strong affinity to teaching, learning by experiencing and theory and guiding others. They can be stern and less fun-oriented when compared to Caretakers but they are also required in their ranks to keep the young on the track and help them in life. Teachers themselves aren't very skilled when it comes to supportive and offensive magic, just like Crafters, as their skill is more oriented towards social aspects where they are able to convey the knowledge in easy to digest way for young and older folk.
Physical Description
Nymphs take form gifted to them by Unysta, Malva and their past lives to create unique individuals. With that each body is different in shape and traits but they all are standing on two legs. From their heads they usually have pair of feather-like antennas poking out but that can be altered.
Their facial expression is warm and welcoming as their fur looks exceptionally soft. Their eyes glow slightly in the dark the nose, lips and ears usually fully depend on the past life. Their height however was increased as they are on average 230 cm tall, allowing them to store the extra strength more easily.
Arms are longer but the general look is the same while their strength is significantly increased. They were bestowed with it by Unysta and Malva so they could take better care of themselves, whether it was for building, farming, taking care of others or fighting. The chest goes through many changes for males and females, usually having chitin-like cover that is flexible and very sturdy, similar to their waist. The only difference were tails on the back of their waist that could get very long and even reach the ground.
The biggest difference was below waist as their legs were significantly strengthened to carry them, making the thighs and calves much more exposed and muscled, yet with the fur they still looked exceptionally soft and warm. However the most noticeable part were the hooves that they walked on that were big very durable and strong, being able to serve as a weapon when the situation called for it.
Nymphs are split into males and females yet females dominate significantly as of the moment. Males tend to be shorter than their female counterparts but not by massive margin while both sexes have very similar capabilities and strength so their differences are only visual and personal.
