=== Appearance ===

Ivy is a short and slender gargoyle with a beige-skinned androgynous body, a pair of large wings in her back, a reptile-like face with big green-yellow eyes with vertical slit pupils, short black hair with bangs on the sides, tall ears, and a joyful smile with two big teeth in her lower mouth. Her back is hunched, making her look shorter than she really is. She has 4-fingered hands, digitigrade feet with 2 toes, and a long tail with stone spikes at the end. She wears wine-red pants with suspenders and a newsboy cap with holes for her two small horns. She has a nose ring, stone bracelets in her hands and feet, vines covering her hands and arms in the shape of gloves, and the Roman numeral "IV" carved on her back. Her weapon is similar to a British [[wikipedia:Sten#Mark_V|Sten Mk. 5]] submachine gun, with two side cartridges in a crossbow shape, and covered in vines.

Ivy sits in a squat during {{AbilityIcon|Stone Form}}, presumably in the pose she had before she came to life.

The Arroyos are Ivy's adoptive family. Ivy loves the Arroyos and thinks they're an amazing family.<ref name=":16" /> She is also reluctant to leave the Arroyos on their own for too long,<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Ivy|hero2=Kelvin|number=1|hero_quote1=Kelvin|quote1=You know, I could use someone like you on one of my expeditions.|hero_quote2=Ivy|quote2=Thanks for the offer, sir, but I don't think I could be away from the Arroyos that long.}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Ivy}}'s in-game [[Ivy/Quotes#Generic Pings|voice line]] (Post-Game Ping): ''"I need to get back to the Arroyos."''</ref> likely due to the fear of them being hurt while she's away.<ref name=":24">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Hidden King|quotes=Ivy/Quotes#patrons|context=(Ivy start)|transcription=It's only a matter of time before Mendoza comes for the Arroyos to hurt you.
