Nymphs (Species)

*This page is about the species. For the character page, see Nymphs.*
**Nymphs** are female humanoid deities in Lore Olympus. They are minor nature deities, typically tied to a certain aspect of nature, such as a plant or river. There are various kinds of nymphs, and they live in all three realms. Unlike Gods and Goddesses, nymphs do not appear to be immortal, and will die if the part of nature they are tied to is destroyed.

## Appearance

Nymphs come in a wide variety of colors, although certain distinct types of nymph share a similar color scheme. All nymphs appear to have specialized ear shapes: most have sharp, pointed ears, although sea nymphs have ear fins. All nymphs are female.

## List of Nymphs

### Flower Nymphs

Flower nymphs appear to largely live in the Mortal Realm, where they work under Demeter. Persephone would constantly by accompanied by a duo of flower nymphs when she lived in the Mortal Realm. Because most, if not all, were born and raised in the Mortal Realm, there is a misconception that they are unintelligent. Flower nymphs have hot pink skin and hair with blue blotches and pointed ears. They are frequently adorned with flowers. Their lives are tied to flowering plants that grow on sacred land.

In Episode 131, Persephone explains that flower nymphs are rare and not as long-lived as other nymphs. Demeter made a special garden dedicated to restoring flower nymphs by growing the specific flowers required to create them.

#### Named Flower Nymphs

**Daphne**  is a flower nymph that used to live and work in the Mortal Realm under Demeter. She later moves to Olympus where she works as a model and yoga instructor. She is dating Thanatos, The God of Death.

During the events of Episode 171, Daphne transforms herself into a tree after escaping to Demeter's sacred fields to protect herself from Apollo. She mentions that only Demeter has the power to transform her back.

#### Persephone's Handmaidens

A duo of flower nymphs named **Krokos** and **Withy** frequently used to accompany and supervise Persephone while in the Mortal Realm. Persephone appears to be both friendly and affectionate with them while also often attempting to avoid them so she can be alone. In Episode 115, they are destroyed by mortals, which causes Persephone's act of wrath. She refers to them as her sisters.

In Episode 131, Persephone reveals that she created the two flower nymphs herself. They became her "first friends," and she tells Hades that she loved them.

### Sea Nymphs

Sea nymphs are largely found in the Sea and on Olympus. Unlike other groups of nymphs, they have fins in place of ears. They come in a multitude of colors, but many seem to be primarily green or blue. Like River nymphs, they appear to display water powers when upset, as seen when Thetis' hair becomes watery and she sprouts a pair of water wings when upset with Minthe.

**Thetis** is a sea nymph that lives and works on Olympus. She is Zeus' secretary, as well as his mistress.

As of now, Thetis' son Achilles is the only half sea nymph, half mortal child to appear. He can be argued as a demigod.

### River Nymphs

River nymphs appear to come in a variety of colors and have large, pointed ears. The only confirmed river nymph, Minthe, has hair that becomes watery when she feels strong emotions. It is unknown if this occurs with all river nymphs. Their lives are tied to specific rivers and other bodies of freshwater.

A comment by Persephone during Episode 131 mentions that rivers are "long-lasting," hinting that river nymphs live for a long time compared to other nymphs.

#### Named River Nymphs

**Minthe** is a river nymph of Cocytus from the Underworld. She is Hades' personal assistant and former girlfriend.
