If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be and why?

Other names: Dryad, Hamadryad Nymphs were an important part of Greek mythology and religion. They were revered as the spirits of specific natural features - mountains, rivers, and even groves were usually associated with a type of nymph. The name nymph comes from the Greek word that means young woman, and so naturally these beings were considered to be female. Indeed they were represented as lovely and eternally youthful creatures. Nymphs are graceful, charming, quick, witty and hate ugliness and evil. They will protect and heal all wounded animals and flora.
