Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in a picturesque valley, lived a mysterious woman. She was known as the enchanted witch of April. The villagers had heard tales of her magical powers and the way she would cast spells and charms to bring good fortune or woe upon the lives of those around her. The enchanted witch of April was said to have been born on the first day of the month, which was believed to be a day of great magic and transformation. It was said that she possessed a deep connection to nature and could communicate with animals and plants alike. Her powers were believed to be at their strongest during the month of April, when the world was awakening from its winter slumber and new life was beginning to bloom.
In "Three Buckets," Fern finds out that he can make himself look like Finn. He traps Finn on the other side of a locked stone door and tells Finn that he was Finn for too long and that it was his turn. After Finn discovers that he can turn his metal arm into a rock breaking device, he breaks down the door and turns on weed-whacker mode. He tackles Fern and they fight until Finn accidentally cuts Fern to pieces.
Fern looked as he did before becoming the Green Knight but was beginning to disintegrate, but nevertheless wanted to fight with the others against GOLB. Fern was retrieved by Gumbald and was modified becoming more powerful as the Green Knight, while Emperor Palpatine placed Darth Vader in a life-supporting suit of armor.
Her powers were believed to be at their strongest during the month of April, when the world was awakening from its winter slumber and new life was beginning to bloom.

Fern
In "Two Swords," it is revealed that Fern was created when Finn accidentally broke the Finn Sword with the Grass Sword while fighting Bandit Princess, during "I Am a Sword." Some time later a spider-octopus-like Grass Demon interacted with the small Finn inside the sword. The Grass Demon wrapped the sword Finn in goo, forming a cocoon around him. At an unknown period of time later, the interior of the sword was filled with green cobwebs and the cocoon appeared hardened. Both the Finn Sword and the Grass Demon expressed desire to get out. The Grass Demon instructed the Finn Sword to let it do the talking when they escape.
Fern emerged in "Reboot" when the Grass Sword touched the Finn Sword again and began to cover it until Finn's arm detached from his body. When Fern first emerged he looked like a lump of grass with a face but then began to resemble Finn in grass form, even gaining the ability to speak. He then revealed that he believed that he was Finn, considering the real Finn a threat and, later, an imitator/fan. When Jake confirmed the real Finn's identity, Fern became upset and ran from the duo.
Still believing himself to be Finn, Fern traveled to Finn and Jake's tree fort, greeting a confused BMO, who panicked and hid. After looking through a scrapbook of Finn and Jake's adventures, Fern became frustrated and confused and began to trash the fort. A frightened BMO called Finn and Jake and the two came straight home. Jake was furious with Fern for scaring BMO and wrecking their house, making Fern even more upset. Realizing the creature meant no harm, Finn offered him a Finn Cake. Finn Cakes are for "Finn only" so this made Fern felt more like himself. The group then went to bed and forgave one another for anything they may have done or said.
In "Do No Harm," Finn had to step out of Tree Fort to check on Susan, meaning Jake had to be alone with Fern much to his chagrin. Finn told Jake to pretend that Fern was him so and do "Finn stuff" with him. Jake made Fern meatloaf, which Fern tried to eat but learned his body was unable to consume food. This upset him since Fern still had memories of food and how it tasted. Fern was also unable to play the flute since he doesn't breathe. Jake then gave Fern the idea of going to an "evil dungeon to smash." Fern then took Jake to the Grassy Mountain where the Grassy Wizard lives. On their visit they fought grass monsters which made Fern happy, albeit a little more violent than Finn. At the top of the mountain they saw the Grassy Wizard, who recognized Fern. He then deduced that he came from the Grass Sword, leading Fern to realize that the wizard was his creator. Fern then proceeded to ask why he (as the grass-sword) existed, only to learn he only made the Grass Sword because it sounded cool and was a play on words, with no real dark plan behind him. When the Grassy Wizard asked Fern to kill Jake he then punched the Grassy Wizard as hard as he could, knocking him out.
At the end of the episode the Grassy Wizard was hospitalized and Fern was upset but Jake assured him that he did the right thing. Finn met with the two and told Fern he did a good job (Fern was not yet named so Finn called him "Grass me" while others mostly called him Grass Finn). Fern came to terms with his identity, so he coined a new name, Fern the Human. He then stole Starchy's motorcycle and took off.
In "The Invitation," it is revealed that Fern lives on top of the Tree Fort roof. Finn was about to leave for his journey to the islands so he wanted Fern to fill in for him while he was gone. Fern was flattered by this but Finn told him to kill monsters his way. It is also revealed that Fern crashed Starchy's motorcycle as well.
In "Whispers," Fern begins to become even more jealous of Finn due to his inabillity to do things the right way. He later thinks up a plan to become "The only Finn".
In "Three Buckets," Fern finds out that he can make himself look like Finn. He traps Finn on the other side of a locked stone door and tells Finn that he was Finn for too long and that it was his turn. After Finn discovers that he can turn his metal arm into a rock breaking device, he breaks down the door and turns on weed-whacker mode. He tackles Fern and they fight until Finn accidentally cuts Fern to pieces.
Essentially, Fern is dead, but a mysterious man recovers his remains, puts it in a bucket and walks off. Fern's eyeball moves, implying that he can still be alive in a way.
In "Seventeen," a mysterious green knight crashes Finn's birthday party. In a match of arm-wrestling it is revealed that the green knight is Fern. Fern has been revived by the mystery man, who is revealed to be Princess Bubblegum's Uncle Gumbald. He is working for Gumbald along with Lolly and Chicle.
In the series finale "Come Along With Me," Finn and Jake, wanting to stop the Gum War, unleashed the nightmare juice given to them by Nightmare Princess, forcing themselves, Fern, Princess Bubblegum, and Gumbald into a hallucinatory slumber. In the dream, Fern transformed into a bird/pterodactyl-like creature and flew away, while Finn decided to follow him after turning into a butterfly. Finn tried to calm Fern down, and the two plummeted to the ground. Finn continued to try and appeal to Fern by reminding him that they were "two sides of the same coin" and that they share the same torment. However, Finn and Fern continued to fight, but were able to find common ground after Jake brought them to Finn's vault. Together they went in to confront the Grass Demon. Fern killed it, ridding himself of its influence once and for all. However, with no Grass Demon to control him, Fern began to deteriorate, as he can have no body without the Grass Demon.
After waking up, the Gum War was called off but GOLB descended, thrusting everyone into a new battle. Fern looked as he did before becoming the Green Knight but was beginning to disintegrate, but nevertheless wanted to fight with the others against GOLB. GOLB was later defeated, but Fern was still disintegrating, nearly dead. He told Finn his dying wish, to be planted at the Tree Fort (which unbeknownst to him, had been destroyed). Fern died, and what remained was a small seedling in the shape of the Finn Sword. That night, Finn and Jake planted the seedling together at what remained of their home. The seedling immediately blossomed into a new tree, with a new Finn Sword growing inside it.
In the far future, Shermy and Beth climbed the now massive tree that had sprouted from Fern's sapling, and pulled out the remade Finn Sword.
Others feared her powers, believing that she could bring harm upon them with just a simple gesture or word. However, no one truly understood the extent of her powers or the motives behind her actions. One spring, a young woman named Lily ventured into the woods in search of the witch. She had heard rumors that the enchanted witch of April could grant wishes to those who sought her out with pure hearts. Lily, desperate to find a solution to her problems, hoped that the witch could help her. As she made her way deeper into the woods, Lily felt a strange sense of calm and anticipation. She could hear the birds singing and the sound of water trickling in the distance. Suddenly, she came upon a small cottage nestled among the trees. It was covered in ivy and adorned with flowers of every color. Lily approached the cottage cautiously and knocked on the door. After a moment, it creaked open, revealing a dimly lit interior. Inside, she saw the enchanted witch of April sitting at a table covered in books and potion bottles. The witch looked up and studied Lily with piercing, emerald eyes. She asked Lily to explain the nature of her visit and the troubles she hoped to solve. Lily poured out her heart, sharing her deepest fears and desires. The witch listened intently, her eyes filled with compassion. After a moment, she offered Lily a small pouch filled with herbs and whispered incantations. She told Lily to carry the pouch with her and to have faith in the power of nature. Days turned into weeks, and Lily noticed subtle changes in her life. She began to feel a sense of peace and joy that she had never experienced before. Opportunities presented themselves, and her relationships became more meaningful and fulfilling. Lily returned to the enchanted witch of April to express her gratitude and to learn more about the magic that had transformed her life. The witch smiled knowingly and explained that the magic she possessed was not outside of herself, but within. She had merely acted as a catalyst, helping Lily tap into her own inner power. And so, the story of the enchanted witch of April became one of self-discovery and empowerment. The villagers learned that true magic lies not in the hands of an external force, but in the potential that resides within each individual. The enchantment of April served as a reminder that the world is full of unseen wonders and possibilities, waiting to be explored and embraced..
