Fun Fact: It is so much easier to see as an affini than it ever was before I got uplifted.
Do you know how unnecessarily hard it was to get proper glasses?

Came out as a transboy at age 10. Chose his name by then, after his favorite color.
His relationship with his grandfather is strained and pretty awkward.
His father left his mother after he was born; She is bedridden since then, weakened by a autoimmune disease that affects her lungs.
His Father is Lysandre's Younger Brother. Therefore, Lysandre is his uncle.
He tried battling Giovanni in Silph Co. but was easily defeated.

He's pretty good at mending machines and general coding.
Is planning some Battle Gear focused on riding battles, like heat resistant, electric and water proof gloves and special parachutes. It's on a very early stage, however.
Has only had girlfriends in his life, all of them while he lived in Kalos. It seems that all of these relationship ended in bad terms. The last one of these ended up deteriorating Green's image which lead to him becoming more focused on his studies and less on his social life.
He will never admit it but he was an obvious crush on both his childhood friends.
fun fact: after my successful uplifting my possessive and protective urges only got stronger
For the interim, you may call me green, first bloom she/her, they/them (I hope I'm saying this right, I'm still new to this).
I am a newly uplifted affini, having recently undergone a procedure of uplifting, using a nonsapient plant and a xenosophont.
I am legally an affini so if you try to say otherwise I will have to report you to my caretaker and a Clerk.
I am a pluribus, so you may occasionally interact with different sophonts sharing the same core. The different sophonts sharing this core will [eventually] use their name as a first name.
While I am fully capable of understanding affini (language), I lack some critical cultural context for certain figures of speech and etymology.
Due to being recently uplifted and previously being considered a Terran, I am under *ahem* wardship and considered a youngbloom
Owner of my lovely floret [translation error], first floret, she/her
The portrait I use as my avatar has been drawn by the lovely Liliana Nettle @liliana-teh-sluppy
sophonts are so precious precious precious oh my core is positively glowing just thinking about all those cute little terran sophonts they're so precious, how are they so precious, so precious oh stars I am so lucky I get to experience this
<Am I allowed to sometimes express similar feelings to the ones I feel about all the precious perfect little Terrans and other xenosophonts but about fellow affini?
Obviously I'm allowed to feel whatever I feel, but expressing that?>
Goodness! I don’t think I’ve ever seen an uplift from a xenosophont before! I am happy for you, of course, but would it be rude of me to ask what drew you to join us? Terrans make such good pets, I suppose it makes sense that a section would fall more easily in owner roles. I believe cases like yours are a rather new development, and I am always fascinated by such things.
Well even before I knew the Affini were a thing, I was always so easily filled with love for other sophonts, wanting to care for them, feeling my then heart ache when they were hurting in whatever way, wanting everyone to get along and be happy and create a world where no-one has to want for anything, where all needs are provided.
I already knew my darling floret back then and oftentimes not only for her, but also especially for her, my then heart ached with how much love I had inside that I wasn't fully able to express. She often jokingly called me a yandere *giggles*
I've always wanted to tear down the terrible systems erected that made sophonts suffer and when the Affini landed and started doing exactly that? Showing how much love they hold inside? How much care? And how easily it comes to them? Me and my floret immediately went to the vet and I asked for a referral to a doctor on the possibility that I could get uplifted and file a notice of claim on her right then and there!
There's a lot more space in my core now to contain all that love, but if I'm being honest, it's still not enough and I am filled with this need to care and love and cherish and keep other sophonts because they're just so precious and I can finally help them the way I've always wanted and oh stars it's wonderful.
My protective and posessive urges have actually gotten even stronger now, but I also finally have an outlet for them, so I think it evens out.
I might have forgotten to mention some things here, my core is just brimming with excitement right now getting to talk about my love for sophonts and my urges to care for them and how much my core hurts when they hurt, when they're suffering and especially when they can't even admit it to themselves that they are.
It really has always physically hurt to witness such things for me. And with certain sophonts, like my lovely precious perfect adorable incredible sweetling beautiful floret, I felt like my then heart would burst with all the love I held inside. This applied to her, to friends, to other partners back then, to... yeah,,,, 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You Said you got uplifted with a non-sapient plant and a xenosophont. How does that Work?
Sincerely, a caring xenosophont
oh hi salt! I assume this is you anyways
uplifting is usually only done with non-sapient plants which are used as a base of the initial forming of an affini core.
But with my procedure, this also involved my previously Terran brain, which was enveloped by and assimilated into the growing core! I wasn't really conscious during that part and it took quite a while.
Typically the plant that is used for the core doesn't influence the personality of the affini, but since that wasn't the only influence used for mine, my memories, thoughts and personality were fully preserved, essentially resulting in a "Terran" being given the body of an affini.
The first part of my 0th Bloom was spent in a tank filled with the digestive enzymes of the bio-engineered plant that was growing into a core, so my old body could be dissolved as my brain got assimilated into the growing core. The rest of the 0th Bloom was spent in nutrient enriched soil, where I was closely monitored to ensure proper development and integration of my past self.
The process of the core assimilating my old brain actually shares quite a lot of similarities with Aster Digitisation, but is also much more dangerous than that process.
Prior to this, I was subjected to a lot of scans. And I mean a lot of scans, including several full scans of my brain. All of the data collected could essentially be used to create a ramet of myself, but was instead used to compare against the growing core and correct and adjust growth where needed to keep the self and my memories identical.
After finally completing my 0th Bloom, which to me felt like an instant and an endless dream at the same time, I had to go through, you guessed it, dear, even more scans and tests. All to ensure that I was really still me and the doctors didn't mess up somewhere along the way. The only differences to my non-initialised ramet are all the new biological urges and well, the familiarity with my new form.
I do also have a faithful recreation of my past form made entirely out of plant-matter if she was given class Gs and had her idealised Terran body with a lot of affini upgrades and the option to move my core from my current body into that one and back. I like using it when snuggling with... *ahem* my caretaker. To a Terran I should be indistinguishable from a normal Terran in that form, though I am still very much recognisable as an affini to fellow affini.
I hope this helps dear 🥰
