When she discovered the Memory stone, an artifact that can erase the memories of others, she used it to remove the good memories of Sunset Shimmer, a girl she was envious of, from everyone.
After Sunset found out Wallflower was the one behind the memory erasures, Wallflower ended up getting defeated by Humane Seven. Wallflower, realizing what she had done, felt completely ashamed and was later redeemed.

Mitch is about 25 years old and very strong (actually, he has superhuman strength). He was in fact very muscular in his youth, but let himself go as years went by. He has shoulder-length greenish-brown hair, except during the time montage when he lost most of his hair.
23/25. Nel (Bleach, anime series)

Nelliel is such a powerful catgirl, she was able to defeat Espada number five (Nel was Espada number three) on her own with little trouble until the end. Basically, this means she’s not to be messed with. However, even with most Hollows needing to kill people to survive, Nell appears quite opposed to this idea.
Nel is an anime character with long waving green hair and hazel eyes. As viewers, we typically see her in her child form, in which she uses bizarre inappropriate phrases for such a small child, and generally just oozes cuteness. But when her adult form appears the plot gets thicker and the action is on.
22/25. Selina (Winx Club, TV series)
The main villain of Winx Club Season 6, Selina is a former powerful witch, originally a fairy, who attended Cloud Tower boarding school for witches. She can bring legendary creatures to life, by using a magical book called The Legendarium.

Because of his abnormally high battle power, he was stranded on the planet Vampa by King Vegeta, where he was raised by his father until rescued years later by the Frieza Force.
Due to his upbringing on an inhospitable isolated planet living only with his father and no other sentient being, Broly is a quiet person with few social skills or manners. Although his father was very abusive and mainly saw Broly as a weapon of revenge against King Vegeta, Broly still cared deeply for him and refused to speak ill about him.
The depth of his love towards his father is shown when the sight of his father’s corpse made Broly explode in grief and rage, transforming him into a Legendary Super Saiyan. And when the powerful Dragon ball Z character goes all out it’s no joke. Even two Super Saiyan Blues couldn’t handle him. According to Goku, Broli was even (way) stronger than him and probably stronger than Beerus.

18/25. Heffer Wolfe (Rocko’s Modern Life, TV series)

The wolves were originally going to eat him and thus began to fatten him up. However, the family grew to love Heffer, so they instead raised him like a son, not letting him know that he was adopted. Unfortunately, Rocko accidentally revealed the truth when the Wolfe family invited him for dinner.

She likes fighting monsters, to the point she seeks monsters to fight in her own time (not only when the Hero Association asks her to defeat them).
Tatsumaki is super childish, and arrogant, and enjoys demolishing others (egos and bodies). She is probably the best comic relief in the series after Saitama casually says “OK” to epic speeches.
Tatsumaki looks much younger than she is. She is a petite female character with emerald green eyes and green hair that curls up on the ends.
14/25. Polaris (Marvel Comics)
Lorna Dane, aka Polaris, is a green superhero and the illegitimate daughter of Magneto. Like her father, she is a mutant gifted with immense magnetic abilities. Unfortunately, the first manifestation of her powers caused the death of her mother and stepfather in a plane crash.
The female Marvel superhero survived the crash and was found by Magneto (her real father) and was given to relatives who adopted her.
Polaris’ hair is green because she was subjected to a massive magnetic pulse when she was young, and that turned her hair green. The energy she emits when using her powers is also green (maybe because her hair and most of her uniforms are green).
13/25. Bisca Connell (Fairy Tail, Anime Series)

11/25. Duncan (Total Drama, Cartoon Series)
A camper on the Total Drama Island reality TV show, Duncan was a member of the Killer Bass team that also consisted of Geoff, Bridgette, Courtney, Harold, DJ, Eva, Ezekiel, Tyler, Izzy, and Sadie. Duncan was your typical teenage juvenile delinquent, right down to the green Mohawk haircut, facial piercings, and skull t-shirt.
When Duncan is first introduced, he’s presented as a near-psychopathic socially dysfunctional bully. However, as the series progresses he becomes a more friendly person thanks in part to the people he meets along the way and it seems that this outward persona is a tough-guy act.
He becomes friends with some of the campers and even strikes up a romantic relationship with Courtney, an academic goody-two-shoes CIT, to the point that he even begins doing selfless acts of affection towards her.
Thanks to his hugely entertaining character design, Duncan became one of the most prominent and recognizable characters in the entire series and a fan favorite to many.
10/25. Doc Samson (Marvel Comics)
Number ten on our list is Leonard Skivorski, Jr (aka Doc Samson). Doc Samsom is a psychiatrist who, while treating Bruce Banner (Hulk) as a patient, exposed himself to high levels of gamma radiation, gaining a superhumanly muscular physique and causing his hair to turn green and to grow long, suggestive of his biblical namesake. As a result, Doc Samson’s strength is equal to that of Hulk’s while the latter is in a calm emotional state.
Unlike the Hulk, however, Samson’s strength does not increase due to adrenaline surges while angry. Initially, Samson’s strength depended upon the length of his green hair. However, his gamma mutation eventually stabilized, making the length of his hair no longer a factor. Samson can leap great distances vertically and horizontally, though not nearly as far as the Hulk or the Abomination. He has managed to knock out Hulk once but broke his hand doing it.
Doc Samson is partly based on the Israelite hero Samson, sharing a name and having the same relation between their strength and their hair’s length.
9/25. Cosmo (The Fairly OddParents, animated tv series)
Cosmo is Timmy and Chloe’s fairy godfather. He is married to Wanda, and they have a son together, Poof. Along with Wanda, Cosmo’s task is to make unhappy human children joyful by granting them wishes and keeping them safe.
Cosmo isn’t the smartest fairy in the Fairy World (actually, he is one of the “dumbest”), but that’s just because he was born such an extremely powerful fairy his magical capabilities may put a serious strain on his mental ones.
Plus, with a super-smart wife like Wanda, he can focus on the most important things, which are – keeping the wishes and the laughs coming! Since Cosmo is usually the cause behind Timmy’s crazy adventures, he plays a very important role in everything that happens. He has green hair and green eyes.
Like all Fairy Godparents, he has a magic wand, fly-like wings, and a crown that hovers above his head.
8/25. C.C (Code Geass, anime series)
C. C. has a mysterious power called the Geass, which manifests in the ability to cause others to love her unconditionally. She doesn’t age and can heal from any kind of wound (possibly even a beheading, if given enough time). She also can bestow Geass’s powers to others, which she does to the main protagonist Lelouch Lamperouge.
The powers would manifest differently in each person but generally carries the ability to affect the minds of those it is used on in some way. She is shown to be stubborn, selfish, and headstrong, but ironically claims to hate stubbornness.
C.C is a female character with waist-length and light green hair.
7/25. Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia, anime series)
Izuku, aka Deku, is the main character of the anime My Hero Academia. Although he was born Quirkless (without any superpowers), he never gave up on being a hero and spent years studying the heroes. Due to his innate heroism and a strong sense of justice, Izuku managed to catch the attention of the legendary hero All Might, who passed on his transferable Quirk to Izuku, making him the ninth host of the powerful One For All Quirk. I
Izuku endured his first 14 years of harsh bullying and harsh negative thoughts from others because all he wanted to do is one thing: be a good hero like All Might.
Throughout the story he managed to become a good role model and even inspired others, so we figure he deserves a place in our top seven best characters with green hair.
6/25. Beast Boy (Teen Titans, animated series)

This means, he supposedly can shapeshift into any animal, past, and present, and revert to his human form at any time of his choosing, His favored forms are Tyrannosaurus rex for heavy combat missions, Pteranodon for aerial tasks, Cheetah for enhanced running speed, and a blue whale for transporting his teammates underwater.

5/25. Ferb Fletcher (Phineas and Ferb, TV series)

4/25. Gon Freecss (Hunter X Hunter, Anime series)
Gon Freecss is the main protagonist for most of the Hunter X Hunter series. He is a young Rookie Hunter, having become a hunter to find his father, a renowned Hunter, who left never to return. At only the age of twelve, Gon left his home at Whale Island to earn his Hunter License and search for his father, hoping to meet him for the first time since infancy.
While Gon is a happy and kind person, he is also unnaturally determined and stuck in his ways, at times refusing an easier path, and being generally unreasonable when it comes to changing his mind. Gon’s sense of morality is childlike and innocent and can also be alienated from the rest of society. Gon doesn’t care if something is right or wrong he judges things on whether it’s interesting or not.
He is a very interesting and unique character who certainly earned a spot in our top four. He has long spiky black green-tipped hair and large, hazel brown eyes.

In addition to hard training in swordsmanship, Zoro has immense superhuman physical prowess, he is one of the strongest characters in One Piece. And most importantly – he is extremely loyal and works hard for the crew.
His goal is to become the greatest swordsman in the world, to honor a promise he made to his deceased childhood friend Kuina who trained with him from childhood. Zoro desires to defeat Mihawk, the world’s greatest swordsman in the One Piece world, at all costs.

2/25. Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice, movie)
Beetlejuice is an obnoxious, devious, ugly character poltergeist from the Netherworld (afterlife) that haunts the inhabitants of a house. Why do we say obnoxious? Well, he eats insects, he does things like spitting in his coat and he loves to scare people and pull pranks on them. Beetlejuice is not a nice person to have around. However, at times he acted as a benefactor of sorts to the heroes (Adam and Barbara Maitland).
As Beetlejuice is pretty much a demon, he has some powerful abilities like Reality warping, Levitation, Shapeshifting (changed into a giant snake-like creature), and Possession. His appearance is consistent with what a deceased body generally looks like his skin is decayed, his eyes are surrounded by thick black rings, and his teeth and fingernails are severely decreased.
His hair color changes from green to a darker green, and more electric green. Beetlejuice became very famous for its frightening yet comical portrayal in the film by Michael Keaton. Not only Beetlejuice is one of the best characters ever, but he also makes the perfect choice for a Halloween costume.
1/25. The Joker (DC Comics)
The Joker is one of the greatest criminally Insane villains and Batman’s greatest enemy. He’s insane, seriously insane. He considers his insanity – of which he is quite coherently aware – to be his primary advantage in any conflict.
He is unpredictable and has no compunctions about killing. The only reason he might forbear to kill someone is if in his judgment the act of killing that person would be less fun than he or she would be alive.
Joker sees Batman as his only worthy opponent and intellectual equal. His psychotic obsession with Gotham’s Dark Knight is to the point that he’s willing to kill himself to make Batman look bad.
He once had his face removed. You know, just for fun! That, and so much more, is what makes Joker one of the best characters ever and our top pick for this list of the best 25 characters with green hair.
