Dryad

Dryads (ドライアード) are a species of forest sprites that are born after a tree has advanced in years, enough to produce its own spirit to interact with the physical world.

Appearance
Dryads appear mostly as young human women, but with skin coloured like tree bark and leaves adorning their bodies.

Abilities
Being tree spirits, dryads are born from trees and have a deep understanding of nature. Dryads can use magic to manipulate nature to a small degree. Also, thanks to their innate connection to their tree of birth, they are able to leave the physical world and become one with it, seemingly becoming invisible even to Aura's sensory abilities. Through this state they are able to safely observe what happens in their territory, only revealing themselves unless they wish to. However it appears they can not venture far from their birth forest. The reason being is that they are tied to the tree which borne them, for it acts as an anchor of sort to the physical world. However they can bypass this obstacle with the help of an outside party, by transplanting their birth tree to another location.
