| Soooo...I'm making a new little thread for my OCs. This way I can sort of start fresh. I'll be adding Leila, Nina, and a few others after I fix them up a bit and update them some. | |

| Name: Ashia Race: Bramble Dryad Height: 130ft Age: 140 Leaf color: Dark Green Eyes: light brown Type of Trunk: Hawthorn Tree Home: Nimsae Cave- Appearance:
Ashia has somewhat large, light brown eyes, chestnut brown hair, and light brown skin. Her leaves are a dark green, and she grows sweet, red berries that are around the size of a small tangerine on her branches with a fair amount of white flowers. Her trunk and branches grow in a shape similar to the Hawthorn tree. She is covered in a few vines which are used for hunting and ensnaring prey. she is much shorter then most Dryads due to her living underground.
- Personality:
Ashia is a very shy, reserved, and nervous Dryad, preferring to keep to herself rather then opening up to others and making friends. This includes interactions over the Dryad network, which she generally blocks. The few times she does open herself to the network are generally used to get information, or if she's really bored and wants to learn some gossip. That said, she does have a few Deertaurs that she considers to be friends. She spends most of her days hidden, listening to and watching the fairies that visit the cave play or watching the nearby waterfall crash down from the lake above.
Ashia is very interested in the caverns and tunnels connecting to Nimsae cave, and knows a surprising amount of geology for a Dryad. She also knows a fair bit about the temple in the middle of Nimsae cave, including a bit about its recent past. Due to living underground though, she is unable to grasp the concept of a sky, clouds, or even weather. She also cares little for the world outside of her cave, figuring that since she can't leave the cave to experience then it doesn't matter.
Ashia's greatest fear is being discovered by the fairies visiting Chikito Lake. This fear is actually what causes her to be so shy, as she knows that she is one hundred percent trapped in the cave. The few fairies that do find her rarely live to tell the tale. She's a bit more open with other species, figuring that they'll be eaten before they can give her location away. Though she won't willingly show herself to just a random person wandering by.
- Predatory Habits:
Due to the lack of natural sunlight, Ashia has to hunt far more often then most Dryads in order to survive. As such, she normally eats whatever she can catch whenever she can. Her diet mainly consists of Fairies who wander into Nimsae Cave to either explore or play, but includes any animals that wander nearby. She never allows her prey to escape, especially if its a fairy, but will not attack if there are more then five fairies in a group.
Ashia hunts by camouflaging herself with illusion magic until her prey gets close. If its a group of fairies, she waits until they are all within range of her vines and roots. Once she's sure they're close enough that she can hit them all, she uses her roots and vines to shred the fairy's wings while they have their guard down. Due to her speed and precision, few fairies ever manage to avoid her strikes.
Once she shreds their wings, Ashia generally uses her thorns to inject the her prey with the natural sleeping agent her body produces. Once they're asleep, she eats them and goes back into hiding. If a fairy happens to escape though, she will immediately uproot herself and move to a different location in the forest and lay low for a little while

| First up on the new list of OCs, someone I recently came up with for an old idea of mine, Ashia the Bramble Dryad. I'll likely flesh her personality out more when I RP with her or use her in something. I tend to find that personalities come easier when I'm actually using the character for something. | |

| Very nicely written Nergal. XD She's like a reclusive Internet lurker one one side and a cautious survivior on the other. I like that she preys mostly on fairies and that she enhances your location and gives it one natural inhabitant. ^-^ Very cool! | |
