[hider Minna!]
[color=68d600][b]Concept:[/b][/color] A dryad who holds cycles and nature dear to her heart. She has folk magic-esque powers and a deep understanding of the natural world, but falls short when it comes to man-made things. 

The idea of combat is alien to her. As an extension from this, so is war, violence for power, and spite. Humanity as a whole can be largely perplexing in the ways it differs from nature, and so humans can be tricky as an extension.

[color=68d600][b]Race:[/b][/color] Dryad
[color=68d600][b]Age:[/b][/color] ???
[color=68d600][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] short, slender, and relaxed, but a little awkward of movement. Deep green eyes, unbrushed nut brown hair, and freckles. She takes on a near child-like appearance, complete with puffy cheeks, a snub nose, and dirt-smudged skin. She wears a mid-length dress made of broad leaves and bark that never seems to get snagged.

[color=68d600][b]History:[/b][/color]
Minna has spent most of her life around the palace area.
Sometimes she ventured outside the region to explore. Sometimes is a lot when you’re as timeless as she. You should ask her to tell a story sometime.
Observing nature gives one a great deal of time to ponder.
Maybe there’s more to come?

[color=68d600][b]Belief:[/b][/color] “It matters not what you do, but why you do it.”
[color=68d600][b]Instinct:[/b][/color] “Always consider why something is done”

-Dryadic folk-magic.
o [i]Think along the lines of: shambles made of cord, animal bones, and rocks. Burning bones. A tree rotting away in the damp undergrowth used as a focus for a sympathetic hex. A circle of mushrooms that you always seem to find impossible to walk into.[/i]
o [i]Spell effects range from things like accelerated rotting to nature-based divination. The biggest rule here is that everything is long-form; there’s no “finger snap for a fireball” or “chant for 6 seconds for a wall of thorns” here. Think elaborate rituals, practiced ways of hanging fiber cord, ceremonial burns of dead wood, otherworldly visions, tuned wind chimes, the law of sympathy, and similar things.[/i]

-Gardening/Plant lore
o [i]Needs no elaboration. She knows a lot about plants.[/i]

-Understanding.
o[i]The ability to wrap her mind around complex ideas comes naturally to her. This is because she has a fairly comprehensive and intuitive grasp of nature and natural law, and new concepts are simply extensions of that. This doesn’t mean she’s a supercalculator, she’s just predisposed to conceptual thinking.[/i]
