With delicate and finely chiseled cheek bones and amber, violet, or dark green eyes, dryads rival the elves in physical beauty. The complexion and eye colour of these female creatures varies seasonally to better conceal them from mortal eyes, for they are as elusive as they are alluring. They are rarely seen unless taken by surprise -- or they wish to be spotted.

Dryads prefer to live solitary lifestyles, often choosing secluded oak groves where they then appoint themselves as guardians of nature. Usually reserved, about the only time they will speak passionately is to argue in favour of their wild homes.

Dryads are capable in most professions, especially as magic-users.
