She was a medicine woman who existed some 100,000 thousand years before the Great Flood, at a time before humanity began using tools.

She rose from the dead as Earth's next plant elemental and became known as Bog Venus (a loose translation of the language of her people. Bog Venus became one of the early [[Erl-King]]s and later, a member of the [[Parliament of Trees]]. Along with fellow Erl-Kings, [[Ghost Hiding in the Rushes]], [[Saint Columba]] and [[Kettle Hole Devil]], Bog Venus formed a special cabal within the Parliament known as the Committee. It was the function of the Committee to pave the way for the next Earth elemental. They selected a disembodied entity (which came to be known as the [[Sprout]]) and attempted to merge it with a human body, thereby ushering in a new age of human born elementals. The Swamp Thing took umbrage with this and spoiled the Committee's plans. As such, Bog Venus and the other Committee members were fused into a new elemental entity known as the [[Wild Thing]]. The Swamp Thing ultimately destroyed the Wild Thing, and Bog Venus' essence was cast into the void where it took root on another world capable of sustaining plant life. On this world, she became aware of the "plant circuitry" that formed the planet's roots. This circuitry served the planet as a living plant-machine. Bog Venus was one of several off-world elementals who had garnered the attention of the [[Dominators]] during their quest to subjugate the planet Earth. Since Bog Venus was off-planet at the time that the Parliament of Trees was destroyed by the [[Word (New Earth)|Word]], it is reasonable to assume that she may still be alive. |
