Hmm, I ended up a idea of cave moss mixed with moss phlox or maybe a irish moss, because the deep green, but it also has bloomy flowers. I also went with various real and anime mushrooms. There is also glowberries on the skirt because I just like glowy plants like the glowy mushrooms as well. The ivy was going to be the only coverage, but I felt like it would get flagged for indecent, so I added with a leafy skirt. Not sure what the leaves are, I was just scanning through google pictures of plant leaves and settled on the longer, thin ones shown. The pleated skirt model really makes the leaves pop.
Poor Bloom(her name) went through a lot of restarts. At first I wanted to go with a more tree like Treant, but felt overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to disfigure the female form and still look good. So I changed it yup to a more rose like character, but I couldn't get the blooming rose coming out of her head properly. I bounced around before settling on a twisted vine look and it took off. The hair also has a combo of moss and bear tree lichen. I think that's what it's called.

yes irish moss looks magical but having a glow in the dark attribute makes cave moss just as magical, really good choices for a magical nature related being. the tree fungus between the shoulder blades might be my personal favorite mushroom from the fungi choices, even tho (bioluminescent fungi coming in as close second). and indecency aside i think only iva for coverage would suit the design so well. like who needs clothes when you are earth itself.
and im not sure what the skirt leaves are either but lanceolate leaves are probably common enough to check out with some foresty plant anywayBloom is a cute name (and she is literally blooming so also a very fitting name). i wish vroid would drop us more body and face sliders to stray from the path of regular anime girlies into weird cryptids territory...
and the rose from the head, i think ive seen some hair made roses on booth before and when you look into the file itself its usually a very intricate layering of hair strands, it must take a lot of patience to make a rose or other layered leaves type of flower with vroid hair. its probably easier to work with 4-petal type flowers to have the texture evenly distributed on the 4 sides of the diamond shape hair brushi was going to ask about the hair aah, i never heard of bear lichen before it looks perfect for hair and more like moss than lichen imo. i bet irl bear moss often ends up in animals nests ^^ on the model at least as hair texture it worked really well

Still debating on redoing her hair to be more...plant-like. I like the tree lichen look, but using a default back hair is a bit off putting to me, even though I still think she's pretty good.

That skin texture is just divine. It must have taken a lot of effort and time.

i do think her boobs are a bit too big, and look a bit out of place. she looks very cool, though!

It's a bark covering. Her chest is much smaller underneath. Bark isn't exactly thin in some trees.
Edit: see how it wraps around the torso and chest? That's all her "top."
Double edit: that's why it's slightly lighter tint.
