The Saplu are also known as the ‘daughters of the forest’, and they often refer to their own kind as 'tree-sisters'. There are two different kinds of Saplu: slightly lighter-skinned, which wear brown clothes, and dark-skinned which wear only green clothes.
They always have green hair and either green or yellow eyes. In their natural tree form, they have designs that look like faces. Strangely, the tree forms can resemble any type of young tree, though they are rarely over four feet tall. This race does not age, and it is said that they sprout from the seeds of a sacred tree hidden deep in a forest temple. As a peaceful race, they won’t even kill a plant.
Their race is quite peculiar in many ways, but one of the most strange is the way they get energy. They never eat or drink, even though they resemble people in their human-like forms. The Saplu actually get their energy from the sun and rainwater, and it only happens in their tree forms. If kept in a place with no sunlight for a long time, they will eventually die...
The daughters of the forest have a hidden temple where most of them stay. No one but the Saplu have actually seen the temple, so many people say it's just a myth. Saplu used to roam the forest, before it became dark, but now they stay in hiding or risk going into a place with no sunlight for an extended amount of time and dying.
