River-nymph

Biography / History

River-nymphs inhabit the waterways of the Spring Court and are closely tied to its rivers and streams. They appear to reject those of mixed heritage, as shown by the treatment of Gwyneth’s mother, a half river-nymph who was not accepted by her own people.

Appearance

River-nymphs possess lithe, flexible bodies with bones more pliant than those of ordinary High Fae. They are distinguished by their webbed fingers and are implied to commonly have large, blue eyes—so clear and bright they resemble the shallow sea.
