Well to see if we will suffer trauma lets just break down the title of the quest, the quest is titled
Compassion Be With You (Young Justice Quest)
So first from the Compassion part, we can assume our character will have an indigo power ring, The ring usually used on hardened murders and psychopaths to redeem them with compassion. Those criminal lose all emotions except compassion, so they can then repent for all of their misdeeds. Though hopefully we will not become one of their prisoner members and instead we called a indigo ring and staff to us for being so compassionate... Then we will be trying to spread the compassion around, which is usually done to criminals to force them to repent...
And since this a young justice quest we would need to be apprenticed to one of the justice league members to be a part of the Team, so we will probably be the sidekick of one of the green lanterns somehow...
It might just be set in the Young Justice universe but have nothing actually to do with Earth at all?

[X] Momma
You begin crying and crying and your parents promptly rush in and scoop you up out of your planter. The shorter, curvier one with the blue flower and eyes, Azalea, holds you in her arms and rocks you. You look between your mom and mom (wow, that's gonna get confusing) and say it, your voice slurring a bit.
"Momma!"
Azalea looks to Thistle, both their eyes widening. "Her first word! Peony's first word!" she exclaims.
Azalea holds you up high, grinning with a mouth full of wooden... teeth. What. "Our baby said her first words! And it's momma! I'm so proud of her!"
"Our girl's a genius!" Thistle says, wrapping her arms around Azalea from behind. She plants a kiss on her wife's neck and you smile at a job well done. Feels good, making others happy.
You're now two years old. Oddly enough, you seem to be at the growth level of a four year old. Maybe Phytognosts just have shorter development periods? It was a challenge at first, but you're now capable of walking on your weird root bulb lower half. Your teeth have also come in, and sure enough, they're wood. Your teeth is a leaf, at that. Like... a literal leaf. Though you can't imagine why Phytognosts need teeth and tongues when they don't eat. Maybe for talking?
Cars and bicycles don't seem to exist on Phyton B, so Thistle and Azalea walk you to your first day of school. Clothing seems to be optional for the Phytognosts since they're all the same gender and don't have any naughty bits, and it's not uncommon for a Phytognost to walk down the street without a stitch on. However, your mothers have insisted and put you in a cute indigo sun dress. Though you can't help noting that Phyton B seems to be perpetually warm. At least, this part of the planet seems to be. Maybe you're in an equatorial zone?
"Make friends, sweetie!" Azalea instructs as you walk down the street.
"Lots of friends!" Thistle adds. They do that a lot. Finishing each other's sentences.
The elementary school isn't all that different from one on Earth just... entirely made of wood. It's even partially built out of an old, massive tree trunk.
Time to have your first day of school.
The first-year elementary students are gathered in a circle as the teacher introduces herself.
"I'm Miss Poplar, and welcome to your first day of school, little buds! Why don't we all introduce ourselves? We'll start with... you." She points to one of the little Phytognosts and one by one they go through the line, introducing themselves one by one and telling a little about themselves. Most of them seem pretty shy.
The one next to you is called on next, a smaller-than-average girl with a yellow flower and eyes. Panic flashes in her eyes and she stammers for a response. Your heart instantly goes out to her...

Why not all three, in that order as well... (also I could consolidate them into one longer write-in choice but if there is one thing I like about cyber quests is being able to chose multiple options... well as long as they are not mutually exclusive)

[X] Grasp her hand and give her a reassuring smile.
Reaching out, you grasp her hand. She turns to look at you, eyes wide, and you give her a reassuring smile. She hesitantly returns it, then nervously introduces herself.
Later there's playtime and the Pytognost from before shyly approaches you. She's a bit smaller than you, and that includes in both height and frame. She's the definition of petite. "Uh... Th-Thank you for that... E-Earlier," she stammers. "I'm Magnolia... You're Peony, right?"
You inwardly cringe a little at your name, but smile at her. "Yeah. Nice to meet you, Magnolia. Did you want to play a game together?"
"R-Really?" she exclaims. But then she calms herself and fidgets nervously with her hands. "But... um... Why?"
You cock a brow. "Why what?"
"Why are you, um... being nice to me?"
"I..." Because you're an extrovert who has more empathy than is probably healthy and you like talking to people who are introverted or look lonely as a result? "Do I need a reason to help someone?"
You imagine that, if Phytognosts had blood, she'd be blushing right now, but instead those solid yellow eyes absolutely light up to the point of sparkling.
Looks like you made a friend!
As the years go by, you learn more about your race and get to know Magnolia. Here's what you manage to figure out about what a Phytognost can do.
First, Phytognosts have no bones, organs, or blood. They are composed of plant matter with a root-like skeletal structure, while their bodily fluids are composed of a milky sap. As a result, their bodies are inhumanly flexible. Their hair is grass, their teeth are wood, their tongues are leaves, and the flower on their head is the same color petals as their eyes, with a stamen and pistils for reproduction.
Phytognosts do not need to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom in the traditional sense. Rather, they only need water, sunlight, and soil. Normally a Phytognost can just absorb nutrients from the soil by walking on it, but if they walk in a place with little soil, they might need to root themselves in soil for a bit to make up for it. Water can be absorbed through just about any body part, but can be imbibed orally as well. Breathing works in reverse. Phytognosts breath out oxygen from their mouths.
Phytognosts are immune to most human diseases, but are susceptible to several plant diseases. Fire is potentially deadly, fungal infections are quite a problem (which is why Kogats are valuable pets, due to being fungivores), and herbicide just absolutely wrecks them. Cold can make them wither, but so long as they bundle up, most Phytognosts can survive short winters. Impure water can make a Phytognost sick, especially if forced to swim in it, since they'll absorb it through their skin.
On the plus side, as you have no blood, you're immune to blood powers or bloodbending. You suspect you'd also have some resistance to mind control due to not having a mammalian brain, but a plant one. You also have no libido due to not reproducing through any form of intercourse, so you're probably immune to any powers that affect the sex drive or physical attraction. You still have a perverted mind, and to be honest... you miss the porn from your last life. You never realized the horror of a planet with no libido. There's not a porno mag or porn site anywhere!
Unlike those damn Martians or Kryptonians, you only have two clear racial abilities you'd consider superpowers. First is that, if a limb is severed or crushed, you can regrow it, but quite slowly. An entire arm can take weeks to regrow, as you found out in that swingset accident. Second, at will, you can release an airborne chemical that repels insects known as Phytoncide.
So yeah. Unless you find some other method of gaining superpowers, you don't have much. An even bigger problem is that Phyton B is still in its information age. They have telescopes, but no interplanetary space travel. They don't even know aliens exist. So getting off Phyton B is another problem.
Another issue you've noticed is just how fast you're aging. Only seven and a half years have passed, but you look like you're fifteen. You asked around and sure enough, Phytognosts rarely live past fifty. It might just be that this life will be a short one... Immortality and extended lifespans aren't exactly common in the DCU.
As you stare off into space, you feel a tap on your shoulder. "Nee? What's wrong?" Magnolia asks you. You realize you were zoning out during your video games. Sighing, you turn to your best friend, forcing a smile so she doesn't worry. Magnolia has really grown over the years, both physically and as your friend. She's still very petite, barely any height or curves to speak of, but she's a cute'n and has an elegant, shy beauty to her.
You, on the other hand, are one hundred sixty-eight centimeters tall and quite slender but with definite curves. You're not entirely sure why Phytognosts have nippleless breasts, or what determines their size, but... you're certainly blessed.
"Nee, you've been staring into space a lot..."
"Heh! Well... I dunno... Lia, you ever feel like you weren't meant to be here? Like there's more out there?" you ponder.
Magnolia giggles. "Nee, you were always a dreamer with her head in the clouds. Did you want to head out to watch the stars tonight? Maybe that might cheer you up."
Hm... Wanna watch the stars with Magnolia tonight?
