Dryad

The Dryad is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following criteria have been met:
 * There is an empty House.
 * One of the following bosses has been defeated: Eye of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds, Brain of Cthulhu, Skeletron.

In addition to selling items, the Dryad can report the percentages of Corruption/Crimson vs. Hallow that exist in the current world.

When enemies are nearby, the Dryad will periodically grant the Dryad's Blessing buff to players in the vicinity and displays a leaf barrier effect. The buff grants +8 defense, and gives the player contact damage. Enemies caught within the circle of the barrier will take 1 point of damage per second, more if you defeated more bosses (and x1.5 during Expert Mode).

World status
The Dryad's reports on Corruption/Crimson/Hallow coverage are accompanied by a status message. She considers Hallow "good", and Corruption or Crimson "bad". The Dryad makes the distinction between Corruption and Crimson if they are present in the same world, and will list their percentages separately, though both contribute to the overall "bad" total in her final report.


 * If the world has more Hallow than Corruption/Crimson, she will say "Keep up the good work!".
 * If the world has no Corruption or Crimson, she will say "(The name of the world) is completely pure. You have done an amazing job!".
 * If at least 15% of the world is Hallow, and more Hallow than Corruption/Crimson, she will say, "We are living in a fairy tale."
 * If at least 20% of the world is Corruption or Crimson, and more Corruption/Crimson than Hallow, she will either say, "You have a lot of work to do," or "Things are grim indeed."
 * If there is very little Corruption or Crimson in the world, she will say, "You are so close!".
 * When Corruption/Crimson and Hallow percentages are similar, she will say, "The world is in balance".
 * In all other cases, she will say, "You should try harder."

Names
The Dryad may have any of the following names:

 * "I don't want you to buy my stuff. I want you to want to buy my stuff, ok?"
 * "Why do you have to be so confrontational during a time like this?"

When asking for the status
 * "[Name of world] is [hallow percentage]% hallow and [crimson/corruption percentage]% [crimson/corruption]. [Dryad's comment, see above]."(She will say crimson or corruption depending on which one there is, however if you have corruption and make an artificial crimson biome, she will list both crimson and corrupt percentages, as well as vice versa. She will tell the hallow's percentage in Hardmode.)

Once the world is completely pure:
 * "[Name of World] is completely pure. You have done an amazing job!"

Trivia

 * A Dryad is a nature spirit from Greek mythology, generally depicted as a beautiful young woman. Fittingly, many of the Dryad's possible names take inspiration from either classical literature (e.g. Caelia, Elysia, Faye) or female celebrities.
 * The Dryad is depicted in a Painting called Dryadisque.
 * Her quote talking about the Truffle and calling him a "fun guy" plays on the homophone "fungi".
 * According to one of her quotes she is over 500 years old.
 * There is a typo in the quote "Why does [Name of Merchant] keep trying to sell me an angel statues? Everyone knows that they don't do anything.", it says "an angel statues?" rather than "an angel statue?" or "angel statues?".
 * The name Isis is a reference to the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis.
 * The name Nissa is a possible reference to the druidic planeswalker Nissa, from Magic: The Gathering (the first trading card game produced).
