[edit] Fictional character biography

She first appears as the Sprout in Swamp Thing #65 (1987). She is later born in Swamp Thing #90 (1989) as Tefé, named after the location of the Brazilian river source and home of the Parliament of Trees.[1]

Tefé is notable for being the featured character in the third Swamp Thing series,[citation needed] almost to the exclusion of the title character from 2000 to 2001, launching the comics career of series writer Brian Vaughan. The series lasted 20 issues, with two tie-in specials featuring Tefé by Vaughan.[1]

Tefé is a bisexual character, currently with a lesbian lover named Zaina. This relationship is revealed in Swamp Thing (fourth series) #9 (2005), the first issue in the series to be written by Joshua Dysart until 2006.[1]

[edit] Reception

Brandon Thomas of Silver Bullet Comics felt that Brian K. Vaughan's run had "incredibly strong characterization."[2]
