There are a lot of ways to tell the White Hats from the Black Hats, but one pretty good rule of (green) thumb is that anyone who can bring flowers into existence just by stepping on soil is probably not evil. This person is not just a Friend to All Living Things but a potent force for good who is very likely a Messianic Archetype, or a Physical God or credible runner-up. At the very least, they have a Green Thumb, and in extreme cases are so powerful and so Good that their aura bleeds out into the world as a source of healing and growth. The symbolism is pretty direct: person is so good and saintly that their presence actively manifests as natural beauty. This trope can be subverted by switching flowers to thorns. The inverse is Walking Wasteland, where a character's presence causes withering and decay; see also Enemy to All Living Things. The character might not necessarily be bad, but that's a hard case to sell. Villains and neutral characters doing this are usually employing power over plants, possibly from being a Nature Spirit or Plant Person. This is also a halmark trait of a Fertility God. The obvious Foil to Walking Wasteland or Evil Is Deathly Cold. Indeed, sometimes it can be impossible to tell whether the effect is the character's beneficence, or because their defeat of the Big Bad removes his influence, which has No Ontological Inertia. (Babies Ever After may act as a mundane equivalent, or coincide with this trope.) See also Hope Sprouts Eternal and World-Healing Wave. Contrast Cross-Melting Aura. Not related to the giant Aurgelmir in Norse Mythology, whose feet mated with one another and gave him the son Thrudgelmir, the first of the frost giants. Related to Earthy Barefoot Character. Compare Fertile Blood. Contrast Make Them Rot. |

Epic (2013): Queen Tara can grow plants just by waving her hand over a patch of dirt, including areas infected with rot or otherwise depleted. Plants don't pop up in her footsteps, but plants do move underneath her to act as stepping-stones as needed. This power presumably passes from queen to queen. | |

RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: This is part of earth pony magic. In addition to flowing through their bodies to grant Super-Strength and enhanced durability and endurance, earth pony magic also leaks out their hooves to infuse the ground with fertility. It's most prominent for those earth ponies who are actually farmers, but every earth pony in a town contributes to the fertility of its farms through their magic. It's this effect that allows Equestrian agriculture to be so insanely productive for the general tech level. | |

The High Elves have Alarielle the Radiant, Everqueen of Averlorn. Her miniature depicts her barefoot, with roses creeping at her feet as she steps on a discarded piece of armor. When she returns as the Goddess of Life Magic in the sequel game Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Alarielle has had this ability turned up a notch with even the Wardroth Beetle she rides into battle sprouting shoots and fungus from its carapace. | |

A variation occurs with the hands of Green Men in 100 Cupboards: touching soil with the scar gained when they come into their powers can cause their bonded plant to grow. Inexperienced hero Henry has trouble with this, at one point pinning his arm to the ground with a profusion of dandelions while trying to escape pursuit, while the older Monmouth has much more control. | |

Discworld: In Pyramids, when Pteppic's father dies, making him a divine emperor, his friends notice grass growing from the city pavement wherever he steps, a wooden table starts budding, and all the grain in a bakery attempts to burst into life. Wintersmith is the Trope Namer; it was called this (and the Latinized "Ped Fecundis") when Tiffany Aching developed it. Of course, this being Discworld, it is played for laughs. A related thing happens to junior witch Magrat Garlick in Wyrd Sisters. (Magrat is youngest witch, the Maiden of the trio, a role associated with Spring and fertility.) Faced with the conundrum of a locked and unopenable heavy oak door, she lays a hand on it, concentrates, and restores life force to the wood causing it to "remember when it was a tree" and to grow, put forth leaves, and bear fruit with acorns, thus causing the wood to cease being a door and burst its hinges. Granny Weatherwax, the "crone" of the triad, a role associated with Death and Winter, frankly admits she'd have gone about it differently by attacking the stone of the surrounding wall. |

World of Warcraft: Herbalists have something similar to this. They get a healing move that, when used, causes flowers and plants to spring up around them. The Night Elf Ancients (living trees that are used as production buildings in Warcraft III) apparently have healing roots, as they cleanse the undead Blight around them when they are planted in it. The red dragons, who are guardians of the Aspect of Life, have fertile breath — flowers spring up from where they breathe flame, most notably and poignantly at Angrathar. Some seem to have this trope exactly, such as Surristrasz and his drakes at Amber Ledge, who are surrounded by a patch of grass and flowers upon otherwise barren rock. Also of note is Illidan's inversion in Warcraft III: When he moves, his footprints leave fire. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In The Lord of the Rings, King Théoden's horse does this to its grave. The horse was buried where he was killed, and grass grew lushly over the grave (in contrast to the Nazgûl Giant Flyer's death-spot, which remained forever barren). This also happens with other burial sites, with those of evil beings staying barren. The Elven High King Fingolfin: |

Exalted: Benediction of Archgenesis, a Solar Circle Sorcery spell, is basically this. However, unlike most examples, you actually have to cut your feet and trail the blood around the area you want blessed with life. There's also the Moon And Earth Blessing from the Ink Monkeys, a Lunar Charm that allows them to do the same, on a smaller scale. On the other hand, they can do it as a dramatic action, it doesn't require anywhere near as much essence much less a massive blood sacrifice, and they can do it any day of the year rather than just on the first day of the first month. In Return of the Scarlet Empress, Gaia's return to Creation includes this trope. |

Plants start sprouting around Willow's feet because her attempts to repress her own issues and act as The Reliable One for her friends is causing her magic to go haywire. Eventually, it gets so bad that she, Gus, and Hunter are ensnared in a tomb of vines that only go away when Gus and Hunter convince her to stop holding in her pain. | |

Shishigami from Princess Mononoke. It should be noted that the Shishigami doesn't give just life but both life and death — and the plants that spring up from its footsteps immediately die and rot away. It seems to make plants go through their life cycle faster. However, when the Shishigami is decapitated, his headless and still-moving body turns into a Walking Wasteland. | |

In an early issue of The Books of Magic, the protagonist has just defeated the Manticore, the secret plague that's been turning the Fairy world into a desert but has been badly wounded in the process. His blood is chock-full of magic, though, so even as he's bleeding out stumbling around, his blood droplets restore plant life to the world. | |

[PROTOTYPE]: Elizabeth Greene. She even has the added bonus of being a beautiful young woman with unearthly powers and bare feet, nicknamed MOTHER. It just happens that she doesn't spread nice benevolent things like flowers or plants. Instead, wherever she goes, the infection follows her in a trail of mutagenic, fleshy, diseased tendrils and pustules — even on steel, concrete, or glass. Alex Mercer himself gets in on the act: his health regeneration powers are so potent that his stepping into the residue of the Supreme Hunter he just killed allows it to come back to life. |

A related thing happens to junior witch Magrat Garlick in Wyrd Sisters. (Magrat is youngest witch, the Maiden of the trio, a role associated with Spring and fertility.) Faced with the conundrum of a locked and unopenable heavy oak door, she lays a hand on it, concentrates, and restores life force to the wood causing it to "remember when it was a tree" and to grow, put forth leaves, and bear fruit with acorns, thus causing the wood to cease being a door and burst its hinges. Granny Weatherwax, the "crone" of the triad, a role associated with Death and Winter, frankly admits she'd have gone about it differently by attacking the stone of the surrounding wall. | |

In The Lord of the Rings, King Théoden's horse does this to its grave. The horse was buried where he was killed, and grass grew lushly over the grave (in contrast to the Nazgûl Giant Flyer's death-spot, which remained forever barren). This also happens with other burial sites, with those of evil beings staying barren. | |

The Wheel of Time: At the end of The Eye of the World, we meet the Green Man. The Green Man keeps a chunk of earth free from the blight with his power to make things grow. While he is dying, he tackles one of the Forsaken and makes a giant tree grow out of the forsaken's chest in a matter of minutes. It is also mentioned in backstory that the Green Man's people, the Nym, caused plants to grow where they walked. This ability is also available to anyone who can channel (whether good or evil) and knows the necessary Geometric Magic. At the beginning of Towers of Midnight, Rand descends from Dragonmount after resolving his internal conflict and makes an entire orchard of apples, which had been shriveled by the Dark One's touch, bloom instantly. Later, he makes bitter tea turn fresh just by entering the same room. It gets to the point in the book where virtually everyone can tell when Rand is near, simply because the sun starts shining, and everything starts blooming like there's no tomorrow (though this is purposely excluded in a capital city ruled by one of his lovers). All of this is because of the prophecy stating that the Land is one with the Dragon. The spoilage of previous books is because of him moving toward the darkness. When Rand approaches the Field of Merrilor in the final book, the grass greens as he walks along, and he extends the effect to the entire field. Later, he uses the same effect to impress the Seanchan empress while his regular magic is blocked. It turns out this is not his fate-warping power at work, but the result of him humming a song of growing under his breath. |

Age of Wonders: The most powerful elven unit, the Nature Elemental, has a "Path of Life" special ability that transforms the grounds it walks upon into the forest/grass terrain. It also has the Frost Queen (Path of Frost) and the Undead Reaper (Path of Decay). While no unit in the sequel directly gains the ability, the druids can have it with a gold medal, and it's still available as an item property. Wizards with at least one Light Sphere can have a similar magic effect active in their domain that slowly restores terrain. Death wizards invert this: they have abilities that turn their domains into blasted wastelands. Of course, all of the elemental wizards can turn their domains into an embodiment of their element: for example, air wizards can turn verdant grasslands into frost-bitten tundras, and freeze over rivers and even the ocean. |

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Floraroma town in Sinnoh has a legend that Shaymin turned the area from a wasteland into a garden. They raise berries and Gracidea flowers (which grant Shaymin new abilities) in gratitude for this. Pokémon Gold and Silver: Suicune has the power to purify water that it steps on, in a related trope. Pokémon Black and White: Landorus doesn't have actual feet, but can emit energy from his tail that immensely fertilizes barren land.

Touhou Project: According to her official profile, Lily White can make flowers bloom with her mere presence, being the embodiment of spring and all. However, the actual Youkai of flowers, Yuka Kazami, is less Friend to All Living Things and more Ax-Crazy. The Mishaguji (snake gods under Suwako's control) are said to make grain sprout in their wake. Of course, they're curse gods, so they're more famous for taking it in the other direction and making the land barren. Akyuu describes it as blessings and curses being two sides of the same coin. |

Battlepug: The governor's daughter has the power to make plants (flowers or plant tentacles) grow in her vicinity — and one @#$%load of a vocabulary. Really, if she chain-swears, expect a large number of hostile plants. | |

Age of Mythology: In a similar vein to this trope, Atlantean civilizations worshiping Gaia in the "Titans" expansion will have lush greenery grow outward from their buildings, which will prevent enemy civilizations from building too close by. | |

Hope for the Heartless: Avalina, the unassuming farmgirl, has an extraordinarily strong aura of life. During the months she's forced to live in the Horned King's castle, life starts to brew in the lich's barren lands, culminating in an entire forest with animal life. She also brings out positive sensations in the Horned King to the point that his heart comes back to life after centuries of being dormant, and his aura is no longer deadly. | |

The Circle Opens: Briar Moss uses this in Street Magic when he has a very rational and very controlled Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Briar has Green Thumb in ass-kicking, so when he has enough, he uncorks his power and seeds and plant-based material come to live and sprout in his wake. In broad daylight. Most mages make an effort to fit into normal society, so seeing one obviously not making the effort was a great way to encourage people to get out of his way. | |

Warhammer: Aekold Hellbrass caused plants to grow wherever he went. Subverted in that he was a champion of chaos, serving Tzeentch, the god of mutation, and nothing like a Friend to All Living Things. His presence was actually screwing up the laws of nature, the excessive life energy radiating from his body as the result of an unusual mutation. The High Elves have Alarielle the Radiant, Everqueen of Averlorn. Her miniature depicts her barefoot, with roses creeping at her feet as she steps on a discarded piece of armor. When she returns as the Goddess of Life Magic in the sequel game Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Alarielle has had this ability turned up a notch with even the Wardroth Beetle she rides into battle sprouting shoots and fungus from its carapace. According to popular myth in the Empire, life came to the barren world as Rhya the mother goddess first walked through it, causing grasses, flowers and fruit to grow around her feet and animals to climb from the soil as she passed. |

Total War: Alarielle the Radiant from Total War: Warhammer II has this as a game mechanic: Every settlement she visits gets a Status Buff improving its growth and public order for several turns. That's in addition to having this as a graphic on the battlefield. In Total War: Warhammer III, both Aekold Helbrass and the Mutalith Vortex Beast have an Evil Counterpart graphic of growing Tzeenchian spikey tentacles behind them as they walk. |

Changeling: The Lost: The Flowering kith of Fairest cause flowers to spring wherever they step... though it takes months for them to do so in the real world, while in Arcadia and the Hedge it's instantaneous. Same thing with the Spring Court and their Mantle. At low levels, those close to them feel a gentle, fragrant breeze, but at high levels, plants tend to grow out of the sidewalk if they stick around long enough. |

Ōkami: Amaterasu. The faster she runs, the more lush the foliage, although it disappears just as quickly as it sprouts up. In water, Amaterasu leaves a trail of lily pads behind her; in midair, a flurry of autumn leaves. This passive ability is amplified after gaining the Growth Brush technique. The flowers in her wake are already bloomed, and at full speed, the flowers turn gold. The sequel, Ōkamiden, stars Chibiterasu, who has the same power. Amaterasu even does this in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, while running up Super-Skrull's outstretched arm. With Viewtiful Joe riding her, yet! |

A variant in Zyra, the Rise of the Thorns from League of Legends — while she doesn't generate plant matter under her feet as she walks, her new passive "Garden of Thorns" causes her to spontaneously spawn seed pods randomly around her every few seconds, which she can cause to bloom into aggressive thorn spitters or vine lashers with her offensive spells. | |

Weaveworld has two examples of this. The first plays the trope straight, with a temple so chock-full of magic that any disturbances (such as walking through it) sprouts a lush undergrowth. The second is an inversion, with a Garden of Eden-like setting covered in flora, which withers away and turns to sand when someone walks through it. | |

In Pan's Labyrinth, after Ofelia dies after refusing to harm her half-brother, the dead tree whose parasitic frog she removed has a single, beautiful flower bloom on it where she briefly touched it. This is appropriate considering her actions allowed her reentry into the fairy kingdom, "redeeming" her soul from base humanity and making her something close to a saint. Director commentary runs to the effect of "Even if all the effect she had on the world was the blooming of a single flower on a dead tree, then her life had meaning." | |

Mega Man Battle Network has an odd example in its Karma Meter games (4 and 5): if MegaMan is fully in Light mode, he can erase DarkHoles just by stepping on them. Conversely, if he uses certain DarkChips,note DarkSpread (BN4) or DarkDrill (BN5) he'll start creating poison panels where he walks. (The latter is also one of the possible punishments for stuffing his NaviCust without following the rules.) | |

In Pokémon 3, at first it seems that the illusory Entei is making crystals grow from the ground wherever he steps. The plot of the movie involves the Pokémon Unown causing similar crystals to grow, and since they created Entei, it serves to connect the two together. It becomes obvious that the Unown can only affect reality within an area defined by the crystal growth. Hence, Entei isn't making crystals grow wherever he steps; instead, the Unown are making crystals grow so Entei can step on them. | |

In Oracle of Tao, Ambrosia, after becoming the Oracle, has a massive shadow beneath her feet (probably representing that her dark half is now part of her), and grows massive amounts of some generic weed, most likely Common Plantain◊.
