As I said over at Green cards: "C.C. herself may be green. Unpredictable whims, a very long-term view of history, a high view of death, an embrace of animalistic urges such as eating. It helps that she's got green hair too."
Obviously needs some other ability.
Indestructible could alternatively be the Phytotitan ability, to reflect the way C.C. can get killed but recovers from death.
yeah, Phytotitan is better. still needs another ability.
legendary
Could alternatively have no other ability, but just be uncommon, and possibly a little smaller (3/2, perhaps). Either staying legendary+named, or using the descriptor workaround to remove legendary and give the card a name like "Persistent Mentor".
Hilariously, this design long predates the choice to use Revolt for the (Red-green archetype), but she works very well with Ruthless Insurgent and Recruiter for the Elevens.
add vigilance for all your legends, since green has a legendary theme
Specifically, all the Four Holy Swords are legendary, and several of them are common: Holy Sword Asahina, Holy Sword Chiba, Holy Sword Urabe, and Holy Sword Senba at uncommon. I confess that ability is lifted straight from Esika, God of the Tree. I spent a while trying to think what would be a flavourful ability for C.C. to have... none of deathtouch, reach or trample really work. Vigilance is OK. She is something of a commander (and/or mascot) so granting an ability to (some of) your team is quite nice.
The other ability I wondered about is a reflection of the way she can touch someone to make them relive painful memories. On a green card, the closest mechanic I can think of for that... might be stun, as on the Kamigawa snakes like Orochi Ranger. I know that ability has bimbled around the colour pie a bit and settled in blue (Queen of Ice), but I don't think it'd look particularly out of place on a rare.
But I'll stick with the vigilance-granting for now.
