A P.S. About the costume. After another look, that flower has got to go! And change the olive drab to, say, lime green and the “red” to Navy orange. Then you could call her Neon Jade!

It sort of looks like it might’ve been drawn by Mike Grell.

The costume, if it were another color, would be great! What did she make it out of – - old army blankets!? I think it should have been something like a lime or neon green. The name, however, is cool. I almost recognize the style but I can’t quite come up with the name of the artist. Anybody know where she’s from?

@J: Yeah, and that green daisy around her face is a Venus fly trap. Right.

@Jose: Great comparison! That’s exactly what she looks like! Note that at no point do you want anyone pointing at your costume and comparing it in any way to a duck. Or daffy things.

Quote “but at least animals actually eat other things”

Someone’s never heard of the venus fly trap apparently. I believe there are other carnivorous plants as well.

While I agree that helmet looks pretty stupid, plants can be scary. No one ever really thinks about them as they walk through the woods. How many times has someone died because they ate a plant they shouldnt have or got stuck by a poisonous plant. And if they had a will of their own or someone to control them (like Poison Ivy)….. And let’s not forget The Happening.

Maybe she got lost on her way to Plantworld.

Let’s not be too harsh with Fire Jade; after all, she IS showing some T&A.

After a bit of Googling, it could be some sort of reference to the Crassula Coccinea aka “Campfire” plant. Another plant of the Crassula genus? The Jade! In fact, I have found a few references to the Crassula Coccinea as “Fire Jade”. (Not a very common one though…) As this Lady Emerald alter ego of hers is referred to the “Mistress of Green Magic”. One could assume the creator decided to use the commonality of the name to play on the stone motif while still having a plant reference for the “Green Magic” thing. Silly? Yes. But it DOES make sense in a twisted fashion…
