[b]Name: [/b]
Nerine

[b]Description:[/b]
[i][u]Physical:[/u][/i]
Nerine has three different forms she has been known to take, though she more or less doesn't use her human-esque appearance unless she must, and her Colossi form is only for combat purposes. Fighting other gods and other creatures of size where her usual form can't handle it.

Her first form, is that of a humanoid form, encased in bark with green, small plant life growing upon her body. She stands at a fairly average five foot seven, with somewhat disproportionately long arms and hands, that end in sharp, claws. Bright orange, fall colored leaf eyes shine brightly beneath a bark encasement. She lacks any nose, and the mouth is only for decoration, as she has no need to actually move it to vocalize.

Her colossi form is a massive form she is unable to use unless she is at a fairly high level of power, and has been basking in the nourishment of her forest. Standing at a gargantuan height that dwarfs most men and even gods, she fuses barks of trees together to achieve this form. Trees grow from the roots growing out of it, and she is mostly unable to speak in this form as it takes great concentration and power to hold for any great number of time. Its bark is almost completely impenetrable to steel arms and other weapons, though is obviously weak to fire and things that burn.

And her last, least used form she will only ever use to 'play' around with humans, mortals, and other gods, is her more or less human form. Elfin in appearance, It is attractive to most, to say the least. She stands at a five foot seven, Her hair, changes colors as the seasons do. In the spring, it is a rich vibrant brown. In the Summer, a bright blonde, and in the fall a beautiful shade of red, as though she had a hair full of leaves. In the winter, a bright white, signaling the bareness of the forests. She has vibrant blue eyes, and most often is seen wearing a dress of the color red. She can't hider her true nature completely, however.

Bark is always somewhere visible on her body. Most often, she has clawed gauntlets adorning her hands.

[u][i]Psychological:[/i][/u]
To say Nerine is evil or bad, is completely false in every sense of the word. If one were to ask, she'd call herself a free spirit who simply likes doing whatever the hell she wants too. Whimsical and Infinitely playful, would be the perfect words to describe this little forest dryad as. She doesn't take much seriously, and more often than not either jokes around, or plays, even with her so called opponents. Calling her completely good though, would be equally as false.

She has on more than one occasion, lured a human deep into her forests...only to put them to eternal sleep within one of her trees. Many forest to this day still have some of her victims bones tucked inside of them, as nourishment for the forests she so dearly loves. Of course, the only reason she'd ever do this is because of either boredom, or you've offended the forest in some manner. She's got a bit of a mouth on her, and likes poking fun at people, and often times is very sarcastic in manner. Well, unless she's flirting with you (Which she will). She is, however, honest and if asked about something she will likely give her honest opinion, and to those the forest and her call allies, she will likely help in any way she can despite her personal opinion.


[b]Powers:[/b]
As far as power in the physical realm goes, Nerine is much stronger than even the other gods might give her credit for. Her stamina in battle (and other things) is almost unending while her body is as strong and durable as any ancient oak, able to weather blows that would fell another. She is able to crush a boulder with even her bare hands, should she have too. Her skin is as durable as the bark on an oak tree, making for an excellent natural armor.

In the realm of magic and otherworldly abilities, she promotes the growth of forests. Anywhere there is suitable nutrients (Such as fertile soil, water, and seeds) She can't create something from nothing, however, and can't restore that which was destroyed. That's not going to stop her from growing the forests regardless, however. Just her presence causes already living plants to grow at a much faster rate. Indeed, when she's out in a forest, little tufts of grass seem to always grow from under her feet, leaving a trail for some curious, lucky (or unlucky) human to follow. Aside from this, she can accelerate their growth to impossible levels if she is strong enough. In the past, she created an entire forest almost in one night, engulfing an entire human town in the process.

As a dryad, she also has minor control over the plants and animals within her forests. She is able to speak with beasts, and the trees themselves. The trees listen quite closely to things that are happening, and the secrets they tell are quite intriguing. Combat wise, she can ensnare enemies with vines and plants, slowing them down or even have the very roots of the trees attack her foes.

[b]Original tribe:[/b]
In the past, she had a small tribe of Shamans. They worshiped her, though a fickle somewhat...difficult and whimsical goddess she may have been. They watched after the forest, preventing the intrusion of any non faithful without the orders of Nerine. They were experts in using nature to fight, and communing with the forest and spirits and borrowing boons from the trees to give them strength in a fight. Most, swore a life long oath to a forest animal and using ancient magic bound their souls together. During the war, they fought on the front lines and used their animal allies to devastate their foes, turning the very forest against the Angels.

When Nerine was imprisoned, her people slowly disappeared into the forests. Today, they are known as witches, outcasts, and otherwise folk one should not associate with. Speaking with animals is of course, an obviously demonic trait.


[b]Faction:[/b] 
Some might assume she would have sided with the Angels in the conflict...but no. About as soon as the conflict started, she joined with the Demons. Many assumed as whimsical seeming and good natured as she was, she would soon join the angels, but that never happened. Her reasons?

She had seen what mortals could do to the forests left unchecked, and though she herself was on the fence about it, after discussing things over with her people, she made the decision to join the demons. Eventually, she was defeated and imprisoned in the pit. Iron, metal chains restraining her in an iron cell, designed so that no earth, soil, or plants could never find their way into it.

[b]Anecdotes:[/b]
-Fought for the demons.
-Her home forest was mostly destroyed. Today, it's home to a thriving little town that she would very much like to reclaim as her own, even if it means driving out the mortals.

[@Vahir]

Alright, she's done finally. Nothing else to add at least, I think. Went ahead and added opinions for everyone. Decided to make it a bit lighter than Nefas'

[quote=@Space Communist]
All I have is just one question.

Does spider-cthulhu have pusspuss?
[/quote]

Well.

from her CS:
"Nefas is in fact, neither male nor female. Take that as you will"

I'll leave that up to your imagination~
