I find it weird that they can be... healed? And that drowning is only a Basic attack. I guess it's fine but it needs some edits.
I would make this role Roleblock immune since Naiads are evil to seek revenge on the those who cheat on their spouses.

Also the Consigliere result could be "Your target is a water diety who seeks revenge towards lust. They must be a Naiad."

Also also does this appear in Normal Mode or just Coven Expansion?

Yeah, the attack is kinda weird. I'll make it a Powerful attack.
I feel like it should be roleblockable just because it would be a lil out of control if there wasn't anything to stop it.

I like the idea but here are the issues I see with it:

1) Autovest? Powerful? Every NK should have a Basic Defense and there should be no exception.
2) I don't like the "stay in the house until voted up". I instead propose you have them clean the target and announce death immediately after.
you can also have an identical "ghost" appear and then this "ghost" will not be announced till voted up or dead. In other words they will be seen leaving their house the next morning.
3) Not able to be ignited by Arsonist? Is this because of the role's name? I suggest removing this regardless.

This role also has a really reliable KPN due to a Powerful attack. It's a buffed SK for the most part. I still think that's fine imo but changes are necessary.

This is fair. I'll give the Naiad Basic defence.

You're describing Medusa.
I didn't want to make a killing role that hides the role and will of a target, I wanted to fool the town into believing that they were still alive, basically just to slow them down.
I'll implement the "ghost", however.

I think it's fine. Having one role that counters Arsonist isn't much of a threat.
However, I will change it so that Naiad washes away gasoline two nights after the initial douse. Still ignitable, but just a little more protection for the water lady.
