❧ Introduction

ymphaea values her home more than anything else, yet often she risks it for other gems. She tries to strike a delicate balance between helping others and keeping herself and her young protege safe. After all, what's the use of a potionmaker without customers? Pay no attention to the fact she doesn't ask for anything in return... Those who stumble upon her are often desperately in need of help, with little to give anyways. She acts as though she's extremely annoyed by helping others, but anyone around her for a significant amount of time would realize it's a thin cover for her bleeding heart.

Nymmie uses reagents both common and obscure for her potions. She uses dew from her garden, herbs harvested by her apprentice, and even her own flowery horns. She sometimes ends up offering nothing at all, instead bestowing her visitors with a potion of sugar water and dye. "Have confidence and heart," She'd say, with a wide smile. "With this potion, you may face your fear head on." Nymphaea sees no point in a love potion when compared to an honest confession. On occasion, she offers nothing more than some kind advice.
