Lime Blood Conspiracy

This guide isn't really a guide about anything... I just wanted to write everything out somewhere.
All you're about to see is my conspiracy brain going buckwild. If you're okay with that, then please proceed.

Some context for those who don't know
The original characters from Homestuck or Hiveswap (Trolls) have a variety of blood colors arranged via a spectrum called the "hemospectrum". Their social class is dependent on where they stand on the blood spectrum: with rust or burgundy being at the bottom, and fuchsia being at the very top.




There used to be 12 different main blood colors, however it has been reduced to 11 after every limeblood was hunted down to extinction. Lime used to sit between the gold and olive caste.

It's still unclear whether the extinction happened before or after the events of Hiveswap. But since limebloods aren't in any way prevalent throughout the first 2 acts, it's safe to assume that they happened before Hiveswap. But for all we know, they might not be fully wiped out and there may be some surviving limes. Who are they?
Exhibit A: Fiamet
Many trolls were revealed during a live stream from an artist who works with the What Pumpkin team. One of those characters being Fiamet. She's a violet blooded troll, and she appears in ACT 2 in the form of a Chittr user that Dammek has already added. She warns Joey that she only has 11 days before Earth and Alternia get blown up.

Now, she might be a sea dweller, but her fins or gills aren't visible at all, with the only feature being an Axolotl tail, which so far no other known troll possesses. She also has six horns instead of two, another rarity among violet bloods. Parts of her socks also seem to be colored in the exact same color that lime blood would look like. Her account color on Chittr may be violet, but in the concept arts, her "Prongle" avatar had a lime green border around it.
Exhibit B: Idarat Catlaz
Idarat is a tealblood seen upon first entering the train station. He's a minor character seen standing at the very left of the entrance hall. Physically, he doesn't give anything away that he's a limeblood. However, after talking to him, you get to hear him say something along the lines of "there's nothing abnormal about my blood color." Seems like an odd thing for any genuine troll to say.

Idarat is actually a fantroll made by Liquid T. which made its way into the final game, as a reward for winning the Hiveswap comic competition. T has gone on record stating that this troll's original blood color was supposed to be lime, but the developers gave him a different color entirely. But since this troll is still a fan-creation, T does mention that it's a limeblood in disguise on Twitter.

Exhibit C: Achievement Icon
This one doesn't need much of an explanation, but the fact that some of Hiveswap ACT 2's achievements have a limeblooded troll as an icon is already something.



Brain Worms
You defeated the drone and switched to the express track.



Housebreaker
Wonder who lives here...


Final Words
After all that. I'm convinced limebloods are still alive, and that we more likely than not have interacted with one already.

But then again, who cares? Why did I make this stupid guide? Literally no point.
Thanks for reading though, I suppose.

Have a good one!

I love this.
Maybe lime blooded trolls have always mutations, but no one just knows what lime blooded troll would be like because they have been considered extinct for VERY long time. I could be wrong tho and I will let anyone correct me.
