Moon-Fey Guide
Nymra of the Silver Bough
Species
Minor moon-fey spirit
Appearance
Nymra is a thumb-sized moon-fey spirit with a slender humanoid shape, translucent limbs, and a body that appears woven from pale bark, moth wings, and liquid moonlight. Her movements are quick and weightless, like a leaf falling upward, yet she sometimes stops midair with the rigid stillness of a dead twig. A crown of silver branches grows from her brow, each tine bearing a single unopened bud. Her face is delicate and almost childlike, but her eyes hold the exhausted patience of an ancient caretaker. An unexpected contradiction defines her presence: despite her ghostly, luminous form, she smells strongly of wet soil, woodsmoke, and old boots.
“Soft, quick, and breathy, like leaves rubbing together in a night breeze. Her words occasionally arrive a heartbeat late, as though spoken by a distant echo.”

Distinguishing Features
A crown of silver branches with one blackened tine
A glowing crack across her left cheek where fire once burned her
A single red thread tied around her left wrist, taken from her sister's funeral shroud
Her shadow resembles a full-sized woman carrying a lantern
Tiny moths gather around her whenever someone speaks sincerely
Voice
“A whispering alto with the faint chime of glass beads and the distant creak of branches”
Clothing
A ragged mantle made from overlapping moth wings, birch fibers, and strips of faded red thread. Around her waist hangs a belt of acorn caps containing seeds, bits of charcoal, and a tiny rusted thimble.
Body Language
Nymra rarely stands still in the ordinary sense. She hovers, tilts, folds her wings around herself like a shawl, and constantly touches nearby leaves as though checking their pulse. When angry, her silver crown points toward the offender like a cluster of drawn needles. When grieving, she becomes physically heavier and sinks slowly toward the ground.
