Nature
While kind and gentle to most creatures of the forest as well as friends of the woodlands, Vila hate hunters and will hunt them without mercy. They will reward those who help them but they or at least the one Grassina met was quite pushy and oppinionated.

Vila are very wise in the ways of the forest and have a wealth of knowledge on flora and fauna.

The Salamander Spell
A vila in the form of a silver wolf protects Grassina from werewolves. From the tree branches, Grassina throws stones at the wolves to help the vila. They successfuly drive them away. The next morning, the vila meets Grassina in her human form. To thank her for saving her life, the vila offers to make Grassina her Blood Sister and teach her everything about flowers and plants. Haywood finds Grassina but he is met with hostility from the vila. The vila tries to cure Grassina of her love for Haywood by attempting to turn her into a tree nymph but Haywood summons a swarm of termites. The enraged vila leaves them to protect her trees but the werewolves return in their human form seeking revenge. Grassina frives them away but not before they infect Haywood. Grassina tries to heal him but her love for him isn't strong enough. The vila casts a spell that makes their natural love for one another grow faster than normal and Grassina heals Haywood. Unfortunately, Haywood starts turning into a werewolf. Grassina uses her magic to summon a spear of silver light which cures Haywood as well as some of the other werewolves.
