For the Zombie Nephini, why don't you name her Dryad (nymphs/fairies of the woods)? Nephini is a nymph (fairy) after all. And your Zombie Nephini's colors are green and brown, which are the colors of the trees. If you don't want the name Dryad, here are some of the names of Dryads (wood nymphs) for you:
Daphne: She was born a nymph and while fleeing from a suitor (I forgot if it's a god or a mortal) she asked her father, which is a river god, for help. I forgot the name of the specific river god too. You might want to google it so you can read the whole story of the dryad, Daphne. So in order for her pursuer to stop pursuing her, the river god turned her daughter into a tree (I forgot which tree too) thus she became one of the Dryads.
Dryope: A Dryad lover of the greek god, Hermes. And mother of Pan, the faun god.
Echo: The king of Olympus gods, Zeus asked her to cover for him if his wife, Hera looking for him while he is away wooing a certain goddess or mortal. And so Echo did what Zeus asked her to do. When Hera found out she's covering for Zeus, the queen tore her apart. From pieces to dust until all that remains of her is her scream wailing in the woods and bounces from mountain to mountain.
But I guess the perfect Dryad name for her would be Eurydice. Perfect for Zombie Nephini coz Eurydice is the Dryad wife of Orpheus who was bit by a snake and died. Orpheus mourn and sung a lonely song. When the other Dryads heard his mourn, they wept and told him to get her soul back from the underworld which he did. He played his lyre to put Cereberus (the gigantic three headed dog, guarding the gate of the underworld) to sleep. Then he escaped from the underworld with his wife, Eurydice. Zombies are dead creatures who came back to life, same with Eurydice. Nephini is a nymph/fairy species, so as Eurydice.
Sorry about the long story post. I got pretty psyched when I read the Wikipedia. lol ^_^

One version of Daphne's story is that Daphne was fleeing from Apollo, and was turned into the laurel accidentally by him, and that is why Apollo's symbol is the laurel. He had fallen in love with her with payback for insulting Cupids tiny bow, so Cupid shot Apollo with one of his love arrows.
Another version of what might have happened to Echo (less violent, but still depressing) when she was talking to Hera, she talked so much that it made Hera angry enough to curse Echo: "You only can repeat the words of others, never say your own!" So Echo got very sad, and wandered around, and when she found Narcissus looking into a pool of water, admiring his own reflection (another curse from the gods, he fell in love with his own reflection) Echo loved him because he was very handsome. Narcissus started saying lovey things to his reflection, and Echo repeated them. This made Narcissus think that his mirror image loved him to, and it got worse and worse. Echo got depressed and faded away to nothing but her voice.
I hope you like these different versions of the stories!
Some names for your nephini are:
Pandora (from greek mythology, it was her box that was opened and let out all the evil into the world)
Persephone (Hades' captured bride, queen of the Underworld)
You could name your male ryori Tornado, and your female Tempest
I hope you like these, and if you feel that I am being impertinent with these answers, or that I am copying you, I can delete this post.

First of all Hemmons, it's nice of you to search google before "correcting" other people's posts. The story that you said about apollo is true. Same with mine. Only, I didn't name the god that's pursuing Daphne.
About Echo, that's the version in most resources that I read. In greek mythology (or in any other mythologies) there are a lot of different versions of a story of certain deities. You said you love greek mythology. Then you should have known this fact about mythologies. I would have appreciate it if you said there's another version of the story. But by saying you're correcting, you just silently stated that I'm posting wrong information. When my version of the story is also correct and doesn't need to be corrected.
I would also appreciate it if you did some research first whether the other version is true or not before you sabotage other people's posts. Also, I would appreciate if you respect other people's posts the way you want your to be respected. This is the most peaceful way I can write the words. So by all means, take all the time in the world to comprehend that. Thank you.
