forest nymph

Tree-dwelling nature sprite

A forest nymph is a nature spirit from Greek and Roman mythology, imagined as a beautiful young woman who inhabits woodlands.

These minor goddesses—dryads, hamadryads, and others—were associated with specific trees or groves.

The term now evokes any ethereal, woodland-dwelling female figure: She moved through the trees like a forest nymph.
