Basic:

A nymph is a nature (divine) spirit. They are connected with certain areas (mountains, fields, ...), waters (rivers, fountains, ...) or with plants (trees, flowers, ...). They are not immortal, but do not really tend to age either - their death is linked to the destruction of the place they are bound to. Nymphs are almost always female - a few exceptions exist (Fontus).
