Fae People

## Characteristics

Nymph DNA is similar to Human DNA they can't sleep with anyone they're related to in their respective element, for example, an Earth Nymph can't have relations with another Earth Nymph they are related to but they can if the other Nymph is an Earth and other element Nymph. They can have relations with Half-Human-Half Nymphs because of their Human DNA.

Nymph bodies tend to take on characteristics of the elements that they are a Nymph of for instance a Dryad's body may have vine-like hair or sweet sap like saliva their bodies will mimic their respective element at their will. Their bodies are Semi-Immortal due to the fact that their bodies are like elements. Nymphs are well known for being very beautiful as well as being skilled in bed. If coupled with an Immortal they could give birth to full Immortals. They usually have enhanced abilities in comparison to Humans. Nymphs are commonly thought of as a Female Only Species even though they do have male Nymphs.

Their minds are like those of Humans and Theoi they feel emotion like the others, but unlike Humans, they can display enhanced wisdom due to living longer than Humans tho that is not really something that Humans can't do, but more of a fact that Humans don't live long enough to display it.
