obviously that isn't to say girls mixed media series never make or sell green characters, but it is to say you'll see it done more often by the bigger guns (precure or other nakayoshi joints, and my little pony before hasbro shot their own kneecaps out three times in a row) and/or in instances where the cast is sufficiently large that they can't not do green if they want another color, and even when they do, the green character is still likelier to be less popular or be dropped/recolored in any times of brand insecurity. another example is that a 2002 nakayoshi character poll reported that mew lettuce/retasu midorikawa (the green one) was the least popular mew mew and civilian identity by a decent margin, and while that could just as well be attributable to her writing or presence, it doesn't help the green curse..... it's not a rule, but it is a trend.
#which is to say nothing for doremi killing their would-be green#sailor jupiter managed to dodge it better than most but she also has brown and pink going on#and also she's from sailor fucking moon which helps#i'm sure precure's had well received and merchandised greens though i'd just have to do more research#and of course since we were just talking about a green mg being recolored to yellow for merch#the yellow mew was way up in 4th place and was the most popular after the literal main character's 3 different forms#this does make me wonder how amulet clover stacks up in popularity/sales/fanart compared to the other forms#since in this case the blue green yellow and pink are all the same character so it's more down to thematic appeal.#there was never an official popularity poll i could find though#i would GUESS it's more popular than diamond at least given it has more screentime and its outfit is more appealing#i could also see the maid theme giving it an advantage but i wonder what the gap is between it and spade+heart#switch speaks
