"The Water Maidens of Spain have a tiny star upon their foreheads and glistening straw-colored hair. Yellow flowers spring up in their footsteps which bring happiness and luck to the one who picks them, until the flowers fade. The Water Maidens are not vulnerable to capture by Man, for they protect themselves with enchantments and can live on land for long intervals."
