Ivy typically has two outfits that she chooses between depending on the situation:
General Appearance:
Ivy is a handsome looking woman, maybe not traditionally beautiful but definitely better than bland looking in terms of appearance. Her hair, skin and eyes are all white (though of varying shades) and she takes pride in her uniquely albino appearance, taking precautions to avoid burning as required of course since people with complexions such as hers are often quite susceptible to sun damage. Her skin is her main draw, the differing tones of her body varying based on her tan lines (by tan lines we mean darker patches of white in this case) with her neck, face, shoulders and upper-chest being the darkest parts of her. Her muscles are well-formed and hard with her legs being the strongest muscles in her body for she tends to favour speedy combat more than directly matching someone strength-for-strength and even a casual glance can tell she is very fit.
Facially she is striking, her white irises being a clearly darker colour than the white of the sclera around them and her pupils seem especially dark as a result of the whiteness of the rest of the eyes. Her gaze is confident and relaxed at the same time, assured in her strengths and quite capable and comfortable with who she is. Her nose is broad but not hideously so and her lips are full and plump, the kind of lips you'd like to kiss if she didn't give off a general air of unapproachability. Her ears are longer than normal with the auricle being the same darker shade of white as her lips and the upper tip being pointed, almost like a stereotypical 'elf' as they otherwise might be. Her chin is a little squarer than a woman's normally is and her jawline is well defined and strong, just like her cheekbones and brow.
Personality:
Ivy is a very driven individual, someone who is focused and ready to do whatever she can to achieve her goals in life. In this particular case she is someone who wishes to reach the ends of the world and, if possible, bring down whoever is crowned as the "Pirate King" - something she has dreamed about ever since she spent the hours listening to her mothers stories as a child. She does this by focusing on her achievements as a bounty hunter and constantly pushing herself, always seeking another threat to bring in and always prepared to do whatever it takes to do so. She has spent so long training herself and her blades that she will not accept anything other than the fulfillment of her grand dream.
In terms of more mundane things -for while she is dedicated she is not obsessive to the point of nothing else- she is a great fan of cooking, spending a lot of her time perfecting her craft as a chef and using her cooking tools and chef knives as a reflection of her abilities with her blades overall - she likes to think that the better she is with her normal weapons the better she is with her cooking tools. She places a very great focus on hygiene and perfection, both in cooking and herself, for a chaotic workspace or person results in chaotic results and the thing she likes the most about cooking is perfection in her techniques. So she looks after herself as she does with her ingredients, and she takes great pride in the way she looks - where some may take shame in their strange albino-like appearance to Ivy it is something she treats as a point of pride, for who else is as unique as she?
Her biggest flaw however is linked to this same thing, she is proud in her appearance but also in herself - great pride often leads to great falls and she is loathe to admit when she is wrong about things and will often take enormously stupid risks to prove herself right or to attempt to keep a plan she had formed going even when it is clearly failing, or even failed already. As a result of this she often hides her failures from others (or tries to) and is never a great fan of accepting blame or apologising for things, instead dismissing them or instead turning things back around with anger when she is confronted for her issues. This is, she understands, a big problem and while she does try to work on this flaw she is often left floundering when these situations arise.
She is a fairly casual person in her conversations, her speech often quite littered with cursing, colloquialisms or casual insults. She tends to pick up local flavour pretty easily so as to blend in and be accepted everywhere she goes, using jargon quickly and easily once she spends a few hours in a place. She is also quite direct, even blunt one would say, and she is not a big fan of philosophising or deep thinking overall instead preferring to say what needs to be said and leave those long, deep thoughts for the people who care about such inane and generally pointless things. She values truth and honesty the most in her life, spending the most time on direct people and enjoying their company more than others, and while she may be quick to anger it is a flash in a pan in truth - burning quickly and brightly but then fading away just as easily.
Hometown: Osore Kingdom, Grand Line
History:
Combat:
Ivy fights hard, fights fast and fights as brutally as necessary whenever a situation requires it. She is a master of her blades and she is so practiced fighting with them that she is almost never seen without them, capable of making movements with them that seem almost impossible to the casually trained eye. However she is also quite capable when it comes to unarmed combat, having spent time training to grapple, throw and kick opponents as required depending on the situation. Since she is a Bounty Hunter and most bounties pay better when a target is brought in alive she tends to favour such non-lethal combat when needed - knocking people out with the flat of her blades more often than not.
Weaponry:
Ivy's weaponry is a pair of signature blades that once belonged to her mother - a pair of elongated knives (almost swords as they are approximately 20' from the end of the hilt-to-tip) that are single-edged with a pair of slight curves to them, curving inwards slightly just past the hilts then curving back outwards before the tips are reached. These blades are made of a metal very similar to iron in density and strength, however this strange metal is one that does not conduct heat, allowing her to shove her blades into fires without much in the way of a negative consequence. She also has a set of six (6) throwing knives on her person, each approximately 8" long with a 3" hilt (11" in length total) and completely straight.
Items:
Besides her blades Ivy tends to just keep the basic essentials with her - a small rucksack contains whatever knick-knacks she might need such as rope, a canteen, oiled packets for food, pencils, a flint and tinder, whetstones, fishing line, bug nets and sample jars for whatever she might need. She also has a Devil Fruit however she has not consumed it yet as she does not know what it is. She also carries a pristine set of chef knives and tools with her, made of a special ceramic that does not conduct heat like metal does whilst retaining a similar density and sharpness so as to not lose effectiveness in her preparations.

Clothing/Accessories:
Ivy typically has two outfits that she chooses between depending on the situation:
- Casual Clothing:
- In terms of casual clothing Ivy wears a leather top that leaves her shoulders, upper-chest and upper-arms bare, though completely covering her cleavage and with a thick leather strap that connects up behind her neck for support.
- On her forearms she wears a pair of leather sleeves that cover her from the mid-point of her upper arms down to her wrists and provide some defense on her arms as needed.
- On her legs she wears a set of tight leather trousers, covering her waist and middle-section with a red-black skirt that is cinched to her trousers with a set of belts and silver buckles. Her rucksack hangs from the right side of this skirt and the sheathes of her blades are tucked at the back of her trousers, above the pants but below the skirt and out of sight.
- On her feet in this case she wears thick dark boots, made of black leather that allow grip on slippery surfaces and protect her feet from environmental hazards.
- In terms of casual clothing Ivy wears a leather top that leaves her shoulders, upper-chest and upper-arms bare, though completely covering her cleavage and with a thick leather strap that connects up behind her neck for support.
- Hunting Clothing:
- Covering her entire body Ivy will wear a skin-tight dark bodysuit that covers all four of her limbs as well as her entire torso, neck and head excluding her face.
- On her face she wears a crow-beaked mask in a similar style to a "plague doctor", however this mask has exaggerated eye holes that allow her a greater spread of vision than standard plague doctor masks.
- On her head Ivy typically wears a thick dark pointed conical hat with a wide brim all around her, covering the undersuit she wears as well.
- Covering the body suit she wears a thick set of dark leather armour, a pair of segmented pieces that include a top with wrapped forearms and wrists and a bottom pair of trousers that are tight and allow complete ease of movement.
- Covering her shoulders and spreading out behind her Ivy wears a thick black cloak that spreads out into a cape that flows around her easily. This cape is covered in black crow feathers and gives her her nickname of "The Crow Hunter". The sheathes of her blades are hidden under this cape up behind her shoulder blades, secured with special leather straps.
- Finally on her feet Ivy wears a pair of solid black boots that allow grip on slippery surfaces and protect her feet from environmental hazards.
- Covering her entire body Ivy will wear a skin-tight dark bodysuit that covers all four of her limbs as well as her entire torso, neck and head excluding her face.

Hometown: Osore Kingdom, Grand Line
History:
- Blessed Beginnings, Darker Days:
- Isabelle "Ivy" a'Roihan grew up in the slums of the capital city of the island known as the Osore Kingdom, an island deep in the Grand Line known for a number of things, none of which really concerned the young girl and her single, working mother. Ivy grew up dirt poor and more often than not went to bed with an empty stomach, however she was never a dull child and despite the strangeness of her appearance (something her mother chalked up to the uniqueness of a father she would not talk about beyond this) she was never an unhappy child, in fact she revelled in it and used it to her advantage. To the superstitious and often stupid people who lived around her she was a "spirit-marked" child, someone who was to be treated with respect and she used this to her advantage to learn and live as she liked, simply spending her time surviving whenever her mother had to work.
For a long time Ivy lived in these slums, her mother spending weeks missing at a time before coming back wounded -be it temporarily or, in one case where she came back with an eyepatch, permanently- and then spending most of the money she had earned while working on doctors bills and food. Her mother, she knew, was a Bounty Hunter for the Marines, someone who hunted down the pirates and criminals of the world and brought them in to claim for money and the like. As a result Ivy grew up hearing all the stories, learning all the tricks of the trade and, with her mothers blessing once she got a bit older, training and learning how to fight with blades so she could a) defend herself and, since she showed the talent and the inclination, b) learn how to become a Bounty Hunter herself.
It was around the age of thirteen that a change happened on the winds of Ivy's life - her mother came home one day with an enormous score and, for once, no wounds. With the money they had they immediately shipped off from the Osore Kingdom, Ivy's mother not wanting to spend her time there any longer, not even to move up to a far better social class than they had been. Sure, it had not been a bad life per se but it was a far cry from the way she had wanted to raise her beautiful and unique daughter. Instead they sailed down and towards the exit of the Grand Line towards the Blue Seas, stopping at several islands on the way so that Ivy and her mother could fight together (since the girl was now trusted to at least come along on the trips to be a Hunter, though not participate yet) and earn some more money for their journey. The rest was stored away, safely, in a place Ivy did not know, and so it was with light hearts and quite deep pockets they found their way to the exit, to the Reverse Mountain, and they sailed through uneventfully on the day of Ivy's fifteenth birthday, having travelled and sailed for two years to escape the Grand Line and the darkness they had found there.
It was in a place known as Loguetown where their first disaster struck. Ivy was arrested for picking the pocket of a wealthy merchant -having not quite left behind all the rogueish and deviant behaviour of her childhood, despite being older and wiser now- and as a result a hefty sum of their finances was burned through. Filled with shame Ivy desperately tried to find a way to make her mother proud of her again, dedicating herself to her training even more so as well as beginning to pick up some inclinations towards being a chef, spending time in the mess halls of the ships they travelled on and spending her time speaking with chefs whenever they stopped at an island. For quite some time they travelled around the East Blue and then the North, Ivy growing up and older as time passed and learning more and more about her weapons -a pair of blades her mother had given her on her eighteenth birthday- as well as about cooking.
When she turned twenty Ivy and her mother seperated to begin Hunting again properly, the daughter deciding it was time to spread her wings herself, and she finally found her way to an island to an island called Notice, a place where she met and fell in love with a man named Lucas St. James, a fellow Bounty Hunter like herself who was searching for a mythical treasure that was said to be lost somewhere in the seas. The two met, fought and, as was probably inevitable in a life as travelled but also strangely sheltered as Ivy's had been, fell in love. Within a year they were engaged, a year later they had married -with her mothers blessing after meeting the man- and then at the age of twenty-four Ivy had her daughter, a beautiful girl named Emilia. Settling down on Dawn Island in the East Blue the pair settled themselves, Ivy content to give up her Hunting ways for her child and husband, when -again- tragedy struck.
After accidentally insulting a noble in the city of the Goa Kingdom, Ivy's husband was beaten and left for dead by the noble's hired hands, leaving her husband catatonic and unresponsive. For two years Ivy did her best at odd jobs around the kingdom to pay for Lucas' medical bills, but she despaired when he passed away after finally awakening from his coma and not recognising her face, or the face of their child. At the age of twenty seven she was left a widow, reeling from the loss of the man she loved and with a daughter she too had to take care of as had once been the ways of her own mother, Ivy reached out to her mother and asked if she could leave her daughter with her for a time, to do as her own mother had done so many years ago. Her mother agreed of course, she had retired from Hunting finally and was living on her own little nest egg in the first town they had entered the Blues in so many years before -Loguetown- and so with a heavy heart Ivy took Emilia to Loguetown and her grandmother, stationing her there easily enough and promising to check in as often as she could and to send money, before heading her own way back into the world, dusting off her blades and preparing her rusty skills once more, determined to do two things.
To keep her daughter healthy and safe and to fulfill her deceased-husbands true dream.
To bring down a Pirate King.

- Devil Fruit Techniques:
- N/A
- Crossarm Dance:
Udegizosa (腕木所作 - Crossarm Dance) - 5
Type: Offensive - Stance
Range: Self
Power: 5
Stats: -2 Strength, +2 Speed [Stance, Self]
Description: The primary style of combat for Ivy, Udegizosa is a particular stance she utilises with her two blades, standing on one foot with the other bent at the knee and placed against the knee of her straight leg; one arm raised and curved above her head, blade outwards; and her other arm crossed around her body with the straight-edge of this blade running parallel to her lower back. Techniques in this stance are based around speed and quick movements overall, aiming to cut and slash as fast as possible to bleed an opponent dry rather than an overall aim to strike precisely and directly.
Juujigiri (十字切 - Cruciform Cut) - 5
Type: Offensive - Physical
Range: 5m, Line
Power: 5
Description: Tensing her legs and crossing her blades in front of her, Ivy launches herself forwards up to five metres in a dash, sweeping her blades outwards in an extending-X shaped cross-slash, aiming to cut through any targets in front of her and in the path of her quick dashing attack.
- Double-Precision:
Baiseido (倍精度 - Double-Precision) - 5
Type: Offensive - Stance
Range: Self
Power: 5
Stats: +2 Strength, -2 Speed [Stance, Self]
Description: An alternate stance of Ivy's utilising her two unique blades, while in this form she hunkers herself down slightly and tenses her legs slightly spread apart, her blades held backwards in her hands and pressing the straight edge against her forearms, preparing to strike outwards. Attacks in this stance are often likened to the movements of a preying mantis with its external and downwards striking blades but these attacks are done slower than attacks in the Udegizosa stance, aiming to strike vital points and weaken her foes by hitting their most sensitive areas.
Susotori (裾取り - Ankle Pick) - 2
Type: Offensive - Physical, Debuff
Range: 2m
Power: 4
Stats: -2 Speed [Debuff, Target]
Description: A very fast and deliberate strike with a pair of her blades held almost in a single hand due to the closeness of her arms when held in this strike, Ivy drops low to one knee and strikes with both of her blades at a targets legs, directing a quick and direct thrust-into-slashing attack across the back of a targets leg, slowing them based on the damage she deals to someone with the position of the wounds she inflicts.
