Ivy doesn't care about who made her or how she came to life as, in her eyes, her life started when she met the Arroyos, and anything before that doesn't matter to her.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Ivy|hero2=Victor|number=1|hero_quote1=Victor|quote1=Do you know who made you?|hero_quote2=Ivy|quote2=Who cares?

=== 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.

Manny Arroyo is Ivy's little brother who Ivy takes to {{HeroIcon|Paige}}'s story time.<ref name=":19">{{PageRef|name=Ivy}}'s in-game [[Ivy/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Paige): ''"And she was so nice when I took Manny to story hour!"''</ref> The Arroyos enjoy it when Ivy flies them around the city,<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Ivy|quotes=Ivy/Quotes#Air drop|context=(upgrade Air Drop)|transcription=The Arroyos always get a kick out of this!}}</ref> and Ivy believes her siblings would love to watch her win in the ritual.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Ivy|file=Tengu killstreak mid 03.mp3|context=(killstreak)|transcription=I bet Sophie and Manny would get a kick out of watching me win!}}</ref>

=== [[The Mendoza Syndicate|Mendoza]] ===
Mendoza is the leader of the Mendoza Syndicate. After 18 years of vigilante justice, Ivy succeeded in her mission to dismantle the criminal empire and force Mendoza to leave Spanish Harlem.<ref name=":21" /> While Mendoza told Ivy that he'd leave New York, he still operates in secret somewhere in the city.<ref name=":23" />

Dynamo offers to give Ivy a reference to help her with her job searching.<ref name=":14" />

Ivy worries her fighting Dynamo during the ritual would preconceive him against Sophia.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Ivy|file=tengu_kill_dynamo_04.mp3|context=(killed Dynamo)|transcription=Please don't take that out on Sophie, professor!}}</ref> Dynamo reaffirms Ivy that Sophia's grades won't be affected by Ivy's actions in the ritual.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}'s in-game [[Dynamo/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Ivy): ''"I assure you, Ivy, your behavior will not impact my grading of Sophia Arroyo."''</ref>

=== Chapter 1 ===
The visual novel begins with Ivy meeting a job recruiter. Ivy explains that, for the past 20 years, she was so focused on fighting Mendoza that she didn't know what she was going to do when she actually beat him, so now she seeks a job to help support the Arroyos. While her skills and hobbies "that don't involve violence" are scarce, Ivy tells the interviewer that she cares about people a lot, and just wants to help. The job recruiter gives Ivy two options: working at a diner as a waitress, or working as a process server. Ivy can also decide to go home to think her choices over.

=== [[Ivy's visual novel/Transcription|Storylines A and B]] ===
Ivy decides to try being a waitress. She initially struggles at the diner as she mixes up orders, has to deal with rude customers, and faces discrimination as a gargoyle.

In Storyline B, Ivy endures the shift and returns home to the Arroyos, where she vents about how awfully people at the diner treated her and that "the mob literally tried to kill her and she didn't care this much". The chapter ends with Ivy agreeing to something Carlos Arroyo said. The rest of storyline B is unknown, but there are two chapters left.

In Storyline A, Ivy caves in to the verbal abuse and throws a man through a window, resulting in Ivy getting fired. A man, who Ivy originally thought to be unfun, commends Ivy's "talent" for throwing someone through a window and seems to offer her a job as a bodyguard for [[Cadence]]. Ivy accepts the deal.

Ivy arrives at Cadence's club where she is currently performing. The man who hired Ivy, named "Archie", introduces her to Cadence. While Cadence is reluctant to take Ivy on, Archie seems to ask Ivy for a demonstration. While it's unknown what Ivy does here, Cadence notes that Ivy "made things worse", to which Ivy retorts "If you don't stand up to bullies, that's what makes things worse", promising to help fix anything that gets broken "tonight".

Chapter 5 in storyline A is titled as "The Concert", with the description "Cadence's concert doesn't go as planned". This chapter has no voice lines, but there are 82 pages and a choice to "Take Cadence's Offer". As taking Cadence's offer is a choice, there is likely another pathway in this chapter.

=== [[Ivy's visual novel/Transcription|Storylines D and E]] ===
Ivy decides to take up a job as a process server. Ivy is initially confused as to why, as a process server, she just has to give the "criminals" court summons instead of just punching them, noting that "the law seems pretty stupid". A lawyer gives Ivy two choices to give court summons: {{HeroIcon|Wraith}} or {{HeroIcon|Lash}}. 

In Storyline D, Ivy decides to give Wraith her court summons. Arriving at Wraith's "totally normal backroom" at a tailor shop, Ivy is shocked to see her sister, Sophia Arroyo, working with Wraith. Sophia's lines are missing, but Ivy presses Sophia about her working for Wraith, which seems to be to fund her college tuition. Wraith defends Sophia, saying that she's "financing a smart girl's dreams of higher education". Ivy tells Sophia that she's taking her home. The rest of Storyline D is unknown, but there are 2 chapters left and (seemingly) no more choices in this pathway.

In Storyline E, Ivy decides to give Lash his court summons. Finding Lash "on an I-beam", Ivy tells Lash that there were a group of people "down below" who were searching for him. Lash tells Ivy that that's why he's up there. Ivy offers to scare off the group, to which Lash tells her that he isn't running from a fight, he's just deciding "whose teeth he's gonna kick in first". Lash descends to the group, with Ivy right behind him.

Lash and Ivy meet with the group of thugs. While the thug's lines are missing, one of them mentions Mendoza's name, which Ivy picks up on. A fight breaks out where Ivy and Lash work together to beat up the thugs. Ivy is shocked that Mendoza is still in New York after he said he would leave, and asks Lash if he could take her to him, to which Lash agrees.

Chapter 5 in storyline E is missing, and there are no clues as to what happens in this chapter.

=== [[Ivy's visual novel/Transcription|Storyline F]] ===
Ivy decides to go home to think her choices over. Once home, Carlos Arroyo calls for a family meeting. While the details of the meeting are unknown (as only Ivy has voice lines), Carlos seems to announce that he's running for mayor. Ivy offers to help him.

Ivy begins canvassing for Carlos Arroyo in the streets of New York, trying to get people to learn why he should be New York's next mayor. Somebody greets Ivy and, while their lines are missing, seems to convince her to try participating in the ritual to help Carlos. The rest of Storyline F is unknown, but there are two chapters left.
