ALSEIDES

alseides ( singular alseid ) are a race of fae that come under the umbrella of nymphs, they are very closely related to dryads, hamadryades, auloniades, leimakides, napaeae and oreads. they are connected to groves and orchards. unlike dryads or hamadryades, they're connected to specific places rather than specific plants or tree. that being said, depending on the plant, alseides and dryads do tend to interact. alseides tend to be a lot more friendly to humans and other humanoids than their wild cousins the dryads, as plenty of orchards and groves are manmade, or at least are used by humans.

## HEREDATORY

### appearance

alseides look similar to dryads and satyrs, as is the case with most earth nymphs. they're almost indistinguishable from dryads - though, come in a vaster array of colours.

female alseides look almost fully human. they tend to be a lot smaller and thinner than their wild cousins, due to the fact that orchards and groves have thinner, smaller trees and are, as a whole, are smaller than forests and woods. some alseides have a similar brown and green hair colour that dryads in the spring and summer, with it turning red and brown in autumn, and brown in winter. however, some may have just have green, brown, white or grey hair, along with a few having red hair. their hair tends to similar to the type of grove they are - apple orchard alseides would have red or green hair, etc. much like dryads, their hair often has blossoms or leaves from their orchards. however, unlike dryads, due to the domestic nature of orchards, alseides are often far more kempt - their hair looks perfect, and they're less dirty. along with this, their eyes come in an array of different colours - green, blue, yellow, red and black are the main ones, but some are orange, or pink, depending on the blossoms in their grove.

much like satyrs, alseid males are vastly different. they are also sometimes referred to as satyrs. they tend to be a bit smaller that the females, along with this, they are typically thin like the females. much like the females, they have a similar brown and green hair colour that satyrs in the spring and summer, with it turning red and brown in autumn, and brown in winter. however, some may have just have green, brown, white or grey hair, along with a few having red hair. their hair tends to similar to the type of grove they are - apple orchard alseides would have red or green hair, etc. much like dryads, their hair often has blossoms or leaves from their orchards. however, unlike dryads, due to the domestic nature of orchards, alseides are often far more kempt - their hair looks perfect, and they're less dirty. much like satyrs, they have horizontal slits for pupils - in a vaster array of colours however. they also have horns or antlers on their heads, like satyrs. however, unlike satyrs, they do not have the hind quarters of a goat, instead having perfectly human legs - with a small, goat or dear like tail.

### personality

while alseides are often shy and coy, much like most nymphs. however, not as much as their wild cousins. alseides are often found in orchards, which are often also where humans live. this means that they often interact with humans, and are less likely to run away from humans. much like their wilder counterparts, if they are slightly shyer, they're easily tempted out of hiding with fruit, vegetables and nuts. they happen to be a lot more
