History
|
A Galdean expert in lensology, Ivy was always sensitive about her petite frame when growing up. She eventually turned to technology to overcome what she saw as her personal deficiency. She began building rune arms in order to attain the bulk of her dreams through technology. One of Ivy's classmates in training mocked her mercilessly for her size. After she built her rune arms, the bully confessed his feelings for her, but she shot him down, with a punch.
When fighting, she wore the two massive rune arms she developed through her own research. These arms were powered by rune-lenses and packed an extremely powerful punch. The arms were a way of compensating for her short stature, which is something she was very sensitive about. Despite attaining her rune arm-enhanced figure, Ivy still tried to make herself look bigger with the biggest platform shoes she could wear, but was constantly afraid she'd be outed, so wouldn't allow anyone to touch her shoes.
As an engineer, she worked in 
Dux Aldric's 
Rune-Lens Research Laboratory in Galdea. Curious as to the unspoken work taking place in the rear of the facility, she sneaked in and discovered the forced internment of 
Yaelu's people. Feeling the need to alert others, she would manage to smuggle Yaelu out inside her tool chest and ended up making contact with 
Pohl in 
Ardinale City while hiding from the dux's pursuit. She would join 
Seign's group in infiltrating the base and uncovering the true depths of Dux Aldric's research.
Ivy blamed herself in part for Dux Aldric's actions as she had worked under his direction. Though she believed in the power of technology, she was also adamant that using technology to inflict atrocities and bring tragedy to the world could never be considered progress. She vowed to do whatever it took to stop him, joining the Alliance in the process.
At the 
Headquarters, she often experimented on her rune arms for new features and improving their existing functionality. Game mods, paint jobs, as well as gear and oil modifications were all areas she tinkered in. She also ideas for rune legs in the back of her mind, though they were low on her priority list. She was impressed with the scale of Pohl's runic tech, while Pohl in turn was amazed by the microtech that allowed Ivy's rune arms to trace the movements of her body. Ivy also regularly maintained 
Mihlu's arm, taking the opportunity to experiment with cutting-edge arm accessories.
Later during the war, Ivy would help reverse engineer runic charges based on the recollections of 
Garoo and 
CJ, alongside Pohl and 
Code L, as part of the Alliance operation to stop the advance of the Galdean army through 
Snowpeak Pass. Ivy was responsible for engineering the yield-adjustor mechanism. Due to the similarities in their work and their shared passion for rune-lens based technology, Ivy would develop a crush on Pohl over the course of the conflict but was reluctant about sharing her feelings.
Following the end of the war, Ivy would gather Dux Aldric's former lab members, becoming the Empire's technology research leader while working to develop a multi-limbed rune arm.
Design
Character designer Junko Kawano noted that the faint glow around Ivy's torso is to indicate that there's a large, glowing rune-lens fitted to her back. This lens is visible on her in-game sprite.
