BRASH

⇢ Ivy has a tendency to act first and ask questions later. She doesn't believe in wasting time sitting around considering the consequences. She'd rather just go out and do it and deal with what happens. It tends to get her in a lot of trouble, but she'd rather get a detention or be grounded than regret not trying something. Especially when that something involves getting in a fist fight over some bully picking on someone smaller than them. Which happens a lot.

CURIOUS

⇢ She's filled with an insatiable curiosity. She loves to explore, to dig around and try to unearth something interesting. However, she doesn't care much for reading or research; she'd rather learn through either a hands-on demonstration, or, failing that, being told. She's far too impatient to read or study.

HEADSTRONG

⇢ Like her father, Ivy is stubborn as a mule; she doesn't back down, she doesn't give up, and it takes some serious evidence to change her mind about anything once she's formed an opinion. It can be something of a strength, when it comes to needing to stick to her guns. But, it also leads to a lot of problems when she insists on clinging to something or doing something just because she's declared it so.

DAREDEVIL

⇢ Ivy likes to be active, and she's something of an adrenaline junkie. She likes danger, even if it's the smallest hint of it. She's taken an interest in martial arts as a result, because there's something amazingly exciting about learning to fight. She'd never really try to hurt anyone (with the exception of bullies who make the mistake of angering her), but she enjoys the challenge of it. She also has a dream to go skydiving, bungee jumping, just about anything that even remotely implies she might die. Since learning about magic, she's determined that, just once, she wants to get up close and personal with a dragon.

ATHLETIC

⇢ As stated, Ivy enjoys martial arts; her athletics don't stop there. While in general she's not overly fond of participating in anything involving a ball, she does enjoy things that'll make her work up a sweat. Her favorites are martial arts, running, and gymnastics. Anyone who tells her than any of those things are not sports will grow to regret ever saying such to her face. And, while she doesn't usually play traditional sports, she does have an avid interest in them from a fan perspective, and is more than willing to kick a ball around with a friend.

HONEST

⇢ Because of how horribly the secret of her mother's magical family blew up in her family's face, Ivy despises lies. She thinks that there's never a real reason to lie, and that anyone doing so, even if they think it's for someone else's good, is really just being selfish or trying to avoid an uncomfortable truth. She personally tries to never lie, and feels physically ill if she realizes she has. She gets herself into trouble a lot because she always confesses to her misbehavior, and tends to take her friends down with her.

CHILDHOOD

⇢ Ivy's mother Evelyn was the only child born to her parents, and a disappointment. She came from a pureblooded family with a long history, but she herself was a Squib. Her parents loved her all the same, but had no idea what to do with her. She was sent away to a muggle boarding school for most of her childhood and her teen years. Growing up more in the muggle world than the magical one, she soon grew distant from that part of herself. In her early twenties, she met a muggle man named Gordon and fell in love. They married and three years later were blessed with a daughter. Evelyn had never told her husband about her magical heritage, and raised her daughter as a muggle. When young Ivy managed to make one of her toys come to life, Gordon was completely unprepared. Ivy's mother came clean, and the pair tried to make it work, but eventually the truth became more than he could take. The couple divorced when Ivy was nine. Since then, Ivy has been torn between curiosity about her status as a witch, and her anger at it being the cause of her parents separation. Her father, however, has remained close to her, and always was sure to tell her that it was her mother's secret, and not her magic, that ruined their marriage. As a result, Ivy has determined that honesty is always, absolutely the best policy. Honestly, she'd rather live with her dad, but he doesn't know how to handle her magic. She's somewhat resentful of her mother as a result.


SCHOOL YEARS

First Year ⇢ Ivy found that she absolutely loved Hogwarts; being away from her mum was pretty great, and learning magic was amazing. She made a few friends as well, which was great, since she hadn't really had any since her parents divorce and moving with her mother.
Second Year ⇢ Ivy's second year was uneventful; she was happy to return to school when September came, and be away from her mother. She joined the dueling club at school, which she enjoyed a lot, though the partner choices left a lot to be desired at times.
Third Year ⇢ Immediately after school let out her second year, Hogsmeade Village was attacked by a group of, in her words, "Dumbarse Voldemort Wannabes." After a minute or so of attempting to fight back with her wand, Ivy gave up, admitting she didn't know enough magic to actually do anything, and resorted to using her martial arts skills. This served her well, for a minute or two, until she was hit with a powerful curse and passed out. It's probably nothing other than sheer dumb luck that she survived, her body left largely undisturbed after she collapsed. After the attack, it took a lot of convincing on the part of Joel's cousin Grayson and his girlfriend Amata, both professors at the school, to get Evelyn to allow her daughter to return to the school. However, she absolutely refused to sign Ivy's permission slip for Hogsmeade, resulting in Ivy having to sneak to the village on visiting weekends.
Fourth Year ⇢ Ivy's summer this year was one of great frustration for her; unlike most years, her father didn't seem to have time to see her, at all, which was incredibly frustrating for her, since she has always preferred him to her mother. However, when out to lunch with him one day, she discovered why; she stole his phone and found evidence that he was seeing a woman, who had two sons, and that he was keeping her a secret from them. Her mother, of course, had known, and kept this from her, trying to protect her feelings, which infuriated Ivy. Her return to school was met with a lot of complaining about this development, and a couple of her friends attempting to have her see her mother's point of view. She didn't change her perspective in the slightest, but did eventually let it go. A few months into the school year, she overheard a rumor that she was dating not one, but two of her friends, cheating on one with the other. One of the friends was Vio, who she did actually have something of a crush on. Seeking to set the record straight, she sought the girl out and told her about the rumor, and then confessed to liking her. The feelings were returned, and the girls began seeing one another, even attending the Valentine's Ball together.
Fifth Year ⇢ Ivy's grandparents, who had up until this point been supplying her with money for her school supplies, were less than pleased to hear that she had a girlfriend, emphasis on the girl part. Being very traditional, and hoping that Ivy would eventually marry into a pureblood family to make up for her mother being a squib, they were even less happy to hear that she wasn't interested in boys at all. In an attempt to force her to break up with Vio and conform to their ideals, they pulled their financial support, landing Evelyn in the position of not having the money to get Ivy's school things. Luckily, Vio ended up being the best girlfriend Ivy could've asked for, and pulled money from her inheritance to make sure Ivy had her books and things, as well as a new uniform, which Ivy had tried to insist was unnecessary. The school year was mostly taken up with lessons, and studying for OWL exams, on which Ivy was determined to do well. Her chosen career path wasn't one to take lightly, after all, and she was bound and determined to succeed at it. She was also the starting seeker for the Gryffindor quidditch team that year, much to her annoyance. Her first two games sucked royally, but she actually managed to win the third, against Slytherin, which almost made it okay she'd lost the other two. Rhys and Layton had beaten her, but she'd won against Vander, and was incredibly smug over that fact.
Sixth Year ⇢ Ivy was devastated when she received her OWL scores and realized she wouldn't be able to continue on into one of the courses she needed to be a Cursebreaker. However, a conversation with Amata revealed that she could, in the blonde woman's words 'grovel a bit', and the Potions professor might consider allowing her into the NEWT level class. Ivy contacted Professor Whitethorne and did her best to convince the woman that she wouldn't blow anything up or cause catastrophic damage in the class, and was permitted to continue on, with the requirement that she 'really apply herself.' Not wanting to disappoint (and get kicked out as a result), she focused a lot on trying to become more patient, at least during that class.
