HistoryEdit

Tefé Holland, also known as The Sprout, was named after the location of the Brazilian river source and home of the Parliament of Trees.^[1] Her essence was created by the Parliament to be a new elemental to replace Swamp Thing when he was disconnected from The Green, and thus thought to be dead.^[2]

As a hybrid plant and human, birthed by Abigail Holland, Tefé has a connection to both The Green and The Red, giving her power over both plant life and animals respectively. Tefé grew up as a human child, convinced that she was Mary Conway, until she was a teenager. Then, when she saw her boyfriend with another girl, she lost control and killed them both.^[3]
