Vert (ベール Bēru), also known as Green Heart (グリーンハート Gurīn Hāto), is the Console Patron Unit (CPU) of Leanbox. She represents Microsoft Xbox home consoles, referenced through her appearance in both forms, her processor units, and some of her dialogue.
Due to the Neptunia series being a game that revolves around different universes and dimensions, there are multiple Verts throughout the series though all of them retain more or less the same personalities and core aspects regardless of the setting.

Etymology
Vert/verte is the French word for the color green. This can correlate to why Vert's appearance mostly consists of green on her clothing along with her divine name being 'Green' Heart. The reason green was possibly chosen as her name is due to the Xbox logo notably having the 'X' in the color green.
Trivia
- Vert is the only goddess in the series who maintains an adult appearance in both human and goddess form.
- Vert is always playing MMOs. This could be associated with the fact that Xbox is a Microsoft Console.
- Throughout Hyperdimension Neptunia, Green Heart has one of the biggest busts. However, in Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, she is beaten by CFW Magic and is beaten again in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, where she is beaten by Yellow Heart.
- In the first Hyperdimension Neptunia game, Vert was said to have a problem with getting too hot or overheating. This references the Xbox 360's tendency to overheat.
- Strangely enough, in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, Ultra Dimension Green Heart does not use drills like the original Green Heart, instead merely transforming the spear into a different spear. This would carry on to later games, starting with Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1.
- In the mk2 popularity poll, Vert came in 9th place, losing to Blanc who came in 7th place. This makes Vert the least popular of all the Goddesses from the first game.[14]
- This status remains the same in the 2014 popularity poll. Vert came in 6th place, losing to Blanc (1st), Neptune (3rd) and Noire (5th). However, Vert managed to beat Nepgear (7th), making the original CPU quartet more popular than the CPU Candidates.[15]
- As those polls have determined the lead characters for upcoming games, Vert is the only one of the original CPU quartet who has not been a lead character of any game.
- In the Neptunia Great Thanksgiving poll, Vert was ranked 1st place on the category "What character do you rely on or get pampered by?"[16]
- The reason as to why Vert doesn't have a sister is because the CPU Candidates represent the handhelds alternatives to each of the consoles, which the CPUs represent. Because the Xbox 360 has no handheld system, Vert has no sister.
- Bizarrely enough, even though Xbox hardware and software is derived from customized PC equivalents, no reference to this has ever been made.
- In Hyperdimension Neptunia, Vert was also the only one who had a real reason for wanting to fight Neptune, while the other two only wanted to fight her because they didn't like her and because she was their rival.
- In her Goddess Blogs, Vert mentions how she really needs caffeine a lot of times due to her late night gaming habits and mentions a liking of seafood.
- While Green Heart's default Processor Unit is based on the design of the Xbox 360, the Ultra Dimension Green Heart's Processor Unit is based on the design of the original Xbox.
- Despite her being the tallest and bustiest of the original quartet, Vert is the most fragile, but fastest, while Blanc, who is the shortest and most petite, is the slowest, but toughest.
- In Megadimension Neptunia VII, the CPUs have dreams that recall technological advancements that the community did not like. However, when Vert takes a nap, she later wakes up without having a dream, possibly poking fun at the Xbox by saying it has done nothing innovative.
- Since viewing the scene is one of the requirements for the Revival Ending, Vert not having a dream might also be a reference to the fact that the Xbox wasn't around during the Dreamcast's lifespan.
