Nightshade is a small fairy with deep lavender skin that seems to absorb the surrounding light. Her most striking features are the bioluminescent patches on her shins and shoulders that pulse with a soft, rhythmic neon-green glow when she is excited or casting spells. Her hair is a chaotic crown of short, rigid violet thorns instead of follicles. Her wings are large and velvety, shaped like the petals of a nightshade flower, transitioning from a bruised purple at the base to a midnight black at the tips. She moves with a jerky, insect-like precision, often hovering inches above the ground to avoid treading on her beloved mosses.
