Мавка is a character from Ukrainian folklore, often depicted as a beautiful female spirit of the forest. She is typically associated with nature, particularly trees and water, and is known for her enchanting voice and ethereal beauty. Mavkas are believed to protect the forest and its creatures, but they can also be dangerous to those who disrespect nature. In literature, Мавка gained prominence through the play "Лісова пісня" (Forest Song) by Ukrainian writer Lesya Ukrainka. This work explores themes of love, nature, and the conflict between human desires and the natural world. Mavka's character symbolizes the deep connection between humanity and the environment.
