space / click !! naiad : so a naiad is a freshwater nymph,, so their design would have more of a tranquil, peaceful, gentle, vibe. think rivers, lakes, calm freshwater bodies of water like that. but also willow trees, dragonflies, lilies, flora and fauna you’d find near freshwater. in terms of appearance, naiad would probably have a more graceful / slender build, and a more flowy silhouette, if that makes sense? so they’d have silky fur thats like super smooth and sleek, and muted gray-blue, like still water. their markings / patterns would probably be inspired by like gently rippling water, with subtle streaks of silvery / pale aqua, and maybe also subtle markings reminiscent of the shapes of lilies / lilypads / willow leaves. their eyes would be a sort of pale watery blue, soft and reflective. if you’d like to try including accessories, perhaps something involving tiny dragonfly or lily motifs, or leaves? nereid: a nereid is an ocean nymph, so they’d have a more tumultuous / deep / mysterious vibe. think deep ocean waters, the moon, tides, powerful and wild ocean waves. in terms of appearance, they’d be stronger, more muscular, with slightly wilder & untamed fur. their fur would be darker and wavier than naiad’s, with deep navy or slate / stormy gray tones. their markings / patterns could include wave-like streaks, crescent moon shapes, foamy white tips on their tail / paws, maybe flecks of silver across their pelt like little droplets of seafoam or the scattered moonlight on the waves or little pearls. their eyes would be darker blues, or maybe teal, perhaps with a glint of silvery moonlight. for accessories, maybe some type of shell? i think i’d need perms for any moon / pearl accessories haha. anyway feel free to stray from this !! i just figured that id lyk whatever ideas ive already thought of so it hopefully isnt too much of a mystery the vibe i’m going for haha :]
