I have to agree with @Decoy Elite: that this doesn't feel like a character so much as a list of powers some plainly designed with the express intent of countering certain powers and most of them don't even seem to make sense within the confines of the character. She's a plant deity but most of her abilities have no definition in plantdom. They seem to be there just because you knew without them people would throw out certain characters against her and without them she would be stomped. But let's look at the powers and see which ones make sense within the character presented and which seem painfully tacked on for the sake of countering.
Telepathy: She is a strong telepath, one of the strongest ones in her universe. She has been known to have projected telepathic shields, communicated with all forms of plant life and life. Once someone accesses her forest their mind is open to her. She can do many things to someone's mind and manipulate it at her will. She is also resistant to other telepathic assaults such as Illusions, etc.
Full control over plant life and life: She has full control of plants and all other life, no matter how far on earth it is, she has control. She can easily manipulate the algae in your body without doing anything, she can order trees to get up and attack people, she can take away the wind from people. However she is much more defensive then offensive, but if someone attacked she would go into Defensive with all her plants.
Soul restoration: She has the abilities to restore someone's soul that has been under a hex/curse/spell.
Healing: She has the ability to heal.
These make sense to some degree or another with what she is and suppposed to be. Though I'm not sure there is even algae in the human body. But aside from that, most of them make sense
Time control: She can manipulate time, she will most likely do this if someone has tried to tap into the space time continuim and erase her, or erase her grove or her children (plants). This also means one can not snap her out of existence due to her expertise in this aera.
This doesn't make any sense. Time manipulation? Why does a creature of plant and nature control time? How does she get these powers? Is there any legitimate reason she should have this ability aside from you realizing that without that people would spam time manipulators to counter her? I can give two powers right now that make sense in place of this but I'll only name one now. Growth Control. This power would allow her to manipulate the growth of objects. That's it. It's a form of temporal control that would actually make sense with her power base.
Influence: She can influence things. For example, she has influence over the ocean, Influence over the skies, but other omnipotent and god-like forces prevent her from gaining full control (Neptune, norse and greek gods, etc)
This makes some very minor sense but really isn't necessary or well defined. But I can see her being able to minorly manipulate water or the air but only on a very limited scale. And I mean very limited.
Near omnipotent in a sense: Here's the deal with this one, she is near omnipotent. She is not fully omnipotent, she is FULL omnipotent in the realm of plants and plant life, but as I said her power has limits. So in a sense she controls all plants, all plant life, etc etc but she is not fully all powerful and all mighty because she can be rotted easily, if her Wards are destroyed. But she can also recover from rotting, but it can/will still hurt her and her strength. So before you call this a godmod know there are ways to kill her. She can't control or influence space either, an omnipotent can do that easily, Space is beyond her control. If someone like Galactus came to her, chances are she'd probably fail in stopping him, a full omnipotent would decimate Galactus. For example, she could drench a city like NYC in acid poisioning and have everyone burn to death (she wouldn't do that) but she can not make the entire ocean wipe away NYC.
There is no such thing as "Near omnipotent in a limited field." There's no reason to add this. You can quantify the same thing with the power you already gave her of complete control of plants from earlier. Nighomnipotent gets thrown around often enough but really you are either omnipotent or not. There is no "near" infinite. Not really. But that's irrelevant. This power contributes to nothing and isn't needed. Also how does she have acid? What does that have to do with plants and nature? Unless you're refereing to something like acidic rain but that really doesn't work. I don't get it.
Teleportation: She can teleport and she can teleport others at thought and instant (instant being a milesecond)
Levitation: She can levitate.
Neither of these make sense. Logistically speaking. There's no reason for her to have Teleportation but I can argue giving her levitation as a form of movement but it really doesn't make much sense. By the way.. is this an actual tree or a living being with a physical humanoid form?
Darkness wards: Her golden wards can ward away evil creatures and dark powers. They are automatically working and automatically powered, and never die out., But a strong being can destroy those wards.
Illusions: She is a master at illusions and can decieve even the strongest minded. Her illusions can easily kill someone also. E.x.: A dragon comes to her, she hits the dragon with an illusion making him believe there's a pool of riches below him, then he dives into it and it's really a pool of acid and he dies instantly. She can also use illusions to confuse.
Both of these make some sense.
Flame resistant: She is resistant to flames, but her Plants are not.
Lightning resistant: She is also resistant to lightning.
Reality warping resistence: She can resist being snapped out of existence and any other reality warping of the sort.
These all seem like they were added to cover obvious weaknesses. "Oh she's a plant creature, people are going to spam fire or lightning cause they hurt trees, better fix that" and "Oh better give her a defense against reality warpers or those'll be spammed" and while I'm at it. so does
Super speed resistence: She can detect a speedster (Zoom, Wally west) at an instant milesecond, she can see them like a normal person would see them if they were still, and she can deflect MOST damage done by them.
Which is a blatant defense again the obvious speed blitz that is so popularly spammed. Though in defense I will give you two powers that make sense. Earlier I told you there were two powers that I could give you that made more sense then time control. I gave you one earlier. the second is also a defense against reality warping. "Rooted" Being that she is of the plant world. You can grant her the ability to be rooted in space and time making her immune to attempts to displace her in reality, space, or time. This would mean she'd have to lose the teleportation power but would prevent her from being manipulated by time or reality warpers and actually makes sense for her. As for combating speedsters, you could give her the ability to be aware of all plants at once. This would act as a massive spider sense one that would allow her to feel and perceive everything around her at once and allow her to process at faster then light speeds or beyond.
Slight weather manipulation: She can slightly change weather.
Laser beams: She can shoot green laser beams and eliminate someone's essence and soul instantly by it.
Immortality: She is immortal, but she can be defeated. She is not undefeatable, thus this is not a godmod.
Durability: She can deflect the blows of Zoom, and resist the damage done by Hulk's fist.
Those last ones actually make sense. Anyway. That's my ten cents. If you're going to make a character. Make a character. Don't just make powers
