Powers and Abilities

 * Branching: In chapter 6, she explains to Your Character that it is her ability to extend her awareness into the trees around her, to see and and hear what they do. It's how she can tap into the discussions that are always happening in the natural world around us. She explains that she's been able to it for some time, and that  while branching may look unsightly, it  is natural nymph  magick and there's nothing sinister about it. However, she calls it tricky magick because sometimes she is unable to prevent her sight from slipping away from her. Aster states that sometimes the trees want to show her things, so they draw her her into them so that she can see what they're seeing. It can be difficult to understand them at times, since they primarily communicate through sight and feelings. They rarely try to speak to her like they at the end of chapter 5 and in chapter 6, since she does not know their ancient language.

Trivia

 * It's confirmed in Chapter 1 that she is a wood nymph.
 * The name "Aster" means "Star" in Greek. Greece is the origin place of the Nymphs.
