Name: Taimi

Nicknames/Alias: Little Tree or Sapling. Both are tied to her name, with the latter being what it actually means along with Young Tree.

Race: Dryad

Gender: Female

Age: She looks to be in her prime, however, being a forest spirit given form she doesn’t really age.

Height: 3’9” (~114 cm) at her withers and roughly 5’9” (~175 cm) if her upper body is counted in as well.

Appearance: Taimi is a strange beast. Dryads, being forest spirits at hearts, come in different incarnations and she is in the more noticeable group. She has the upper body of a female elvish creature but from the hips down she has the body of a Red Deer, making her something akin to a centaur. On a whole her body is elegant and graceful, not to mention built solid as an oak. Her upper half has light purple skin, fine grass green hair with flowers blooming from it, and warm orange eyes. Her lower body is a dark brown with white spots dotted around the flank.
In terms of clothing she doesn’t wear much. It mainly consists of a few vines growing up her arms and a pair of leaves to cover her upper body for modesty’s sake. Apart from that she remains naked.

Personality: Calm, caring and deadly. Those are the words that would best describe Taimi. She, like many other Dryads, is most often seen quietly wandering the eastern forests, quietly caring for the various flowers and trees. She is usually calm and caring when approached by strangers and willing to help them around or whatever else they need, provided they're respectful of the nature she so fiercely protects. If this isn't the case, she is anything but caring as she will violently lash out at the offenders, trying to either kill them by any means necessary and with fanatical dedication.

Residence: Amber Arklands, though she mainly wanders her homeland doing her duty.

Occupation: Forest tender and defender.

Skillset: At the very core of her being, Taimi is plant person. Her skill set mainly consists of caring for a wide variety of plants, knowing where they can be found and identifying them easily. Her knowledge also extends to knowing the effect of plants and she can whip some basic remedies together if need be.
Finally, should the need to defend the forest arise, she’ll make use of a spear to act as a cavalry soldier and fast moving skirmisher. Either that or she will lie in ambush… even if concealing herself is hard without a dense set of bushes given her unusual appearance.

Magic: Due to her tie to the forest, Taimi is able to call upon it and have it help in her hour of need, making her a very effective nature mage. Her magic is mainly used to heal dying or withered plants but can easily be applied to other living beings to heal wounds and other injuries. For a more combat oriented role, she can cause plants to grow out of control and fight on her behalf. This mainly consists of vines to constrict or snare her enemy or thorny vines that lashes out at the enemy like whips. In addition, she can fire bolts of nature energy at their enemy from a range.

Bio: Taimi doesn't remember how she came to be. Most dryads are born of the earth and forest and she assumes she was as well. This means that her only real answer is that she is a child of nature. But even then she could still lead you to the general area she recalls having been at from a very young age. Her childhood however, she remembers and very fondly at that. She lived without a real care in the world. She tended to plants along with her sisters and practiced her abilities for when she would need to be a defender of the forest herself. She quickly took to the role and did everything to excel at it, leading to her fighting with a fanatical dedication and without fear of death.
Now she dutifully patrols the wilds, keeping a sharp eye out for anything that might show signs of corruption or those who might want to do nature harm. The few times this has happened she has even managed to frighten some of her own sisters with her ferocity and brutality as she seems to delight in the cruel irony of killing defilers by letting nature having its own revenge, rather than acting on its behalf. That being said she doesn't mind doing that either.

Misc:
While the ride might be rough without a saddle, she has allowed others to ride on her back for convenience or in case of emergency. Although she isn't exactly prone to doing so if she doesn't trust the one asking.
