Best I've got is sloths. And they're only green because algae grows on them. And I know it sounds like cheating because they aren't intrinsically green but before you completely discount it there are animals that wouldn't be the color they are in a different environment. For instance, flamingos are only pink because of the seafood they eat. If fed a different diet they can be almost white.
Shouldn't athletes expecting to medal just want to skip the competition and go straight to the podium? I mean, that's the reward, right? It is pretty easy to come up with many other analogs where there is a reward/goal that would feel hollow without whatever experience precedes it.
I misread it as heat pump, was sure I was wrong, read it again and got it wrong again. So... I guess I'm glad you wrote this comment to get me to read it a third time.
Bring me everyone.
As a legal matter, maybe not. As a practical matter I'm pretty sure it is evident.
I know a bunch of these do the annoying YouTube thumbnail thing that is very much adjacent to your complaint but I would argue they do a pretty good job of being excited about the topic but not overly dramatic in the presentation during the actual video.

If you just want to learn about astrophysics. Many build on each other so you might want to consider watching a bunch of the early ones first.

Engineering. This guy's voice annoys me but some of the videos are still quite interesting so I linked this specific one about exactly how train wheels/tracks work. Never would have guessed the level of design involved.

Pog mo thoin! I only remember the rude stuff. Literally read a bumper sticker like one time and it never left after over 20 years.
The obsolete skills they are learning are "prompt engineer".
Some of these might be a little more like 8 than 5 because they have storybook-scary but still mentioning for you to have a look and decide.

Technically not female lead but kinda close and definitely age-appropriate:
Chicory - From creators on Wandersong + Celeste. Not positive your character is canonically female but let's just call it very plausible and you are filling in for the titular character who is called "she".
Donut County (technically the male racoon is the main character but the only human and next-most important character is female)
Journey (likely canonically no specific gender but great game, no dialog and could easily interpret as female if you choose)
Not what you asked for but maybe consider:
Beglitched - No human characters other than the player, puzzle game with pink and purple hacker aesthetic.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - Androgynous animals and humans pilot a wacky ship in 4 player co-op lots of hearts.

This is an interesting question but I don't think it is restricted to green. Isn't the same true of purple, blue and red? I'm not talking about just reddish like human hair or a red panda but truly bright red like a cardinal. I would imagine it has something to do with our evolutionary history. Complete speculation here but laced with a few facts I picked up. I hear the common ancestor of mammals emerged around the time the dinosaurs became extinct and was basically a tiny rodent like a shrew. I wonder if as a small animal that can't fly or swim it had to hide a lot and basically just came in shades of brown. So maybe any genes for other colors were lost before that common mammalian ancestor emerged and although mammals have lots of patterns they don't have many colors.
