Has a light and carefree tone, but a level of seriousness otherwise. Inquiry is frequent, as is pranking. If slighted or harrowed, may cause disturbance similarly. Although direct harm is typically avoided, harshness may regardless exist. This is often only apparent after an encounter.
Currently spends her time dancing about the trees and interacting with persons and wildlife that are ambiently or directly encountered. She is not quite threatening to others, but a sense of unease is the general response. Cannot be called inept, which speaks to some extent of a past history.
Trivia
Typically keeps a distance from most, but may speak from a relative distance on occasion. Her voice can vary from quiet to booming. Silence is a typical factor despite this, except when singing ambiently through the trees.
During winter weather hides beneath low hanging or 'weeping' trees. The cold does not seem to affect her however. Does not like the sense of being covered in flakes.
Has items hidden around the forest she occupies, and occasionally can be seen with a worn or less-worn object. These are few in number, and some derelict due inherent quality or weathering; the worse quality sorts are left alone generally, and she seems to look after what she can preserve well-enough. Books and alike items are accepted and are not often seen after.
Evidently able to entrance others with song and dance, potentially to a malign end. However, does not seem as interested in blood as she is entertainment. That is not to say that people have not disappeared in relevant ranges.
A drink with milk present in it, hippocras included, is enough to potentially avert complication.
Throwing an article of clothing into the wood is enough to stop her songs typically. Later, she may be seen wearing that fabric.
Reputedly cannot sew on her own using needles; which accounts for want for clothing.
Seems to have realised she can be bribed in that manner, although still can be seen on occasion at random amid the trees. Typically, she vanishes or moves out of view after studying the person(s) looking back.
Moves without sound generally, and can become unseen similarly. She has relative strength evidently, as she can bound far and stomp through rotten logs and cracked stone without significant complication.
A barrage of stones have occasionally occurred in response to repeated insults or threats against her. This is typically enough to deter persons from following through.
Seems to have taken charge of the deer population in terms of guardianship rather than bovine. Deer about the trees are similarly regarded with caution by travellers.
On occasion has evidently helped individuals hide from authority. Normally the trees are nigh impossible to search through, but she makes it harder.
Despite this, it is typically not long before relevant individuals vacate the woodland, either afraid of her company, or angering her.
Not all return. A number have appeared to have completely vanished.
No bones have been found. It is assumed the forest consumed these persons.
Although often benign, she has been known to lay curses on those who disturb her. These typically have some form of positive factor, but equally a negative one.
For travellers taking longer distances through the trees, caution is often practiced. Most are aware of her capability to cause impediment at the least, and do not directly make an effort toward instigation regardless of inherent disturbance. Losing horses or any other needed commodity would be a hindrance at most, and isolative at worst. Typically, the horses are not found again. It is not clear what might happen if her decision toward benignity changes.
Although there have been cases where means of transportation was lost and parties had to travel on foot, that seems to be the limit of expenditure.
In her view, she is allowing people to cross through the forest without hindrance, which is not inaccurate as a perception. Other things are warded off on occasion, if unseen as an occurrence.
Knows songs and lyrical poetry, typically from a dated basis. At times however, she has been known to pick up a new song if overhearing one from passerby.
Has a sense of wildlife to a varying degree. Similarly has an uncertain understanding of various flora, infrequently noting archaic nominatives in her songs and direct speech. Depending on where something occurs, she may pick and use or move off with resulting material.
Occasionally her voice is echoed, the reverberations multiple. This would be assumed to be magical in basis, if the background ambience did not come from underground. Sometimes it is the trees that seem to 'speak', but not always.
Generally regarded as strange but 'harmless'. That does not mean most attempt interaction.
