My entry for the nurse contest at :icondrake-academy: (lots of these lately huh?)! The italian dryad nurse, Milana! Partial Information about her:

Milana, the apple tree dryad
112 years
Female

Though nymphs usually are from Greece, Milana comes from a place relatively near there, Italy. Milana is from a specific breed of the nymphs, the dryads, which are bound to a tre, in the case, an apple tree. Milana grew up in a farm in Italy, producing fruits together with her tree and helping a humble family from there. With the older daughter of this family, Milana learned some basic nurse knowledge, though she relied especially in her magic skills to heal people when needed. They lost their farm though, and Milana got a bud of her tree and begun travelling the world, in search of a place where she could grow her tree again and call home.

The dryad is very proud of her greek lineage and because of that her nurse garb resembles ancient greek vestiments. Since she lived most her life in Italy, she speaks some words in Italian as well (not many many, because I don't know Italian myself 8D ). She's very worried about how others feel (sometimes too much) and is very "physical" on people (likes hugs and kisses) even if she don't know them too well.

She doesn't like to show but her legs, they remember the bark of a tree (that's why she always wear socks), and her feet transforms so she can actually extract nutrients from soil to feed (she don't eat, and she never does it when someone's looking). She obviously loves the sun and hate fire or ice. Her hair is white and made of a more resistent version of the fibers that form the blossoms of an apple tree. Apples grow on her hair, and the speed at which it happens depends on her mood (can take days if she's happy, or the apples can even rot if she's too sad). She loves giving apples to all her patients or people she likes (but if they'll eat an apple that comes from hair varies from person to person, though people usually don't refuse it in front of her), but hates when people steals apples from the hair without permission (she never knows when she will need some).

Milana's healing powers are diminished given the fact that her tree is just a sprout now, but they'll increase as it grows. Since she's bound to the tree, she can never depart too far from it. So she'll never be able to go too far from the Academy once the tree is planted.

Vote in Milana for nurse and she will... give you apples! :la:
