The Nunnehi are ageless, and able to change forms: In the olden days the People enjoyed the company of the Cherokee. however as the native people were removed. the Nunnehi couldn't follow as they are bound to the land. As such, in time some members of the tribe became jaded, cynical, and bitter. and act as spirits of vengeance on behalf of the natives in the lands they inhabit

Weaknesses:
Bound to the land: Nunnehi are bound to the geographic area of the American south east. The exact borders are unknown. However it can be assumed that all areas formerly inhabited by the Cherokee are safe, however its unknown if this includes all areas inhabited by the 5 civilized tribes of the southeast. or all of the American southeast are available. The People's ability to change forms make it difficult to ascertain. only the Nunnehi know for sure.
Anachronism: The Nunnehi struggle with concepts of modern technology, as technology progresses The Nunnehi find it more difficult to adapt. this is more of a character trait than a defined weakness, a Nunnehi could easily accept a ride in a car, or watch someone use a computer. However they would be unable to do it themselves.
