1) Approximately when did Leshies start to be created on Golarion? During the Age of Serpents? After Earthfall?
2) What's Leshy anatomy like? Do they have bones? Joints? Organs? Do they breathe in carbon dioxide and move it to all of their cells with a circulatory system? If they're wounded, what do they bleed? How baffled would somebody who's only worked on mammals feel upon trying to heal a Leshy's wounds?
3) Where do Nature Spirits come from, and what do they do when they aren't incarnated as Leshies (or Green Men)?
4) Are deities in general disinclined to grant them power since they have no "soul" that will go to them after death? Are they unable to sign Infernal Contracts?
5) From Leshy Familiar flavour we know that Nature Spirits vary considerably in power. Is this fixed, or can a Nature Spirit that can only animate a Familiar body eventually grow to animate the most powerful Leshy bodies?
6) What are the Rituals like to incarnate Leshies? The costs one must pay are probably known, but is it notably difficult to actually manage this?
7) If you wanted to talk to a Leshy to custom-build them a body to suit them, how would you achieve this?
8) If a Leshy was targeted with a Reincarnate Ritual, would they only become a plant creature of some sort? Or could they become a soulless Human or other Ancestry and then go back to being a Nature Spirit upon death?

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Does it make sense with in-universe logic for a leshy to be a sorcerer? If yes, what would be the source of their bloodline? Would it be from them being a nature spirit? An unusual circumstance from their body, such as it being from plant matter grown in the Abyss? An unusual circumstance from the ritualist who bound body and spirit together, such as them being a dragon?
