The source is non-canonical but the spirit seems accurate

I missed referencing "The Fellowship of the Ring Sourcebook" for that quote. FOTR "..I am Goldberry, daughter of the River..." "...by that pool long ago I found the River daughter,...sweet was her singing...." "...but it seemed plain to them the song was a rain song..." "This is Goldberry's washing day...and her autumn cleaning" Water through the cycles of the seasons, at least in their bordered land, is directly affected by her singing.

Does Nimrodel count as a water spirit also?

Possible but his line by Tolkien is odd -

How do we interpret "represents the actual seasonal changes"

It's left a little unclear just what she is washing, or how, or where

I wonder if Tolkien took some influences
