Deru

Appearance
Deru is Colm and Emma's faithful friend. She is a type of nature spirit called a dryad, and despite this, she is normal size''. ''She is the soul of the world tree Drasilmare, and Twig, her dryad steed, is the heart. She has brown skin and a long black ponytail covered in flowers and vines. Her clothing is often made up of petals or leaves, which change depending on the season. If she stood still enough you might mistake her for a lotus flower!

Personality
Deru goes everywhere with Emma and Colm when Emma's Valkyrie duties call her back into action. Although she and Twig used to live in the Drasilmare tree, soaking up its wisdom, they are still playful and fun to be around, and not serious.

Deru has always like watching Canter Hollow folks skate. When she tried it herself, it was a lot harder than it looked! But she kept practicing, and now she can do all sorts of fancy spins and jumps. She even taught her pipsqueak friends to skate with her. Deru's steed, Twig, comes along to please her, but Twig hasn't got the hang of skating yet.

Magical Gift
Deru, as a dryad, gets all of her magic from growdust that rains down during spring.

Herd
On later card sets, Deru is listed as being a part of Herd Moonfairy, alongside Twig.

Location
In Bella Sara Adventures, she's in Canter Downs.
