Appearance: ->
Personality:
Brave, Open-minded, Passionate, Ambitious, Experimental, Has a general disregard for cats she doesn't know well enough, Proud, Creative, Material, Curious
The walking embodiment of creativity, this cat sees opportunities everywhere. She gets a new nest? Well, that's just a blank canvas, time to decorate it! She catches a bird she has never seen before? That thing isn't keeping its feathers! And now she will go make a new nest for herself with these feathers, adding some pretty leaves, and a flower for the scent... So many options and ideas! She LOVES collecting things, from shells to pretty pebbles, feathers, bones, and so on, the more unique and special the better. She stuffs her den with these special things, and will guard them like a hawk, happily attacking anyone who will even attempt to take her stuff.
Obviously, she is very material and often takes interesting things as payment for information, favors, and so on. She isn't selfish, but she really works hard to gather all her things, and because of how picky she can be, she is very proud of her things, and herself.
Because of all this, she also has some trouble making friends. Many think she just cares about the stones and stuff, and in turn, she convinces herself she doesn't need them (because that's the reason, not the others don't like her, no no, she just doesn't like them). As you can see, she has proud stubbornness to her and isn't one to let go of things for anyone else.
Ivy also has a strong curiosity rooted deep in her bones. Not knowing something she wants to know is the worst feeling she knows, and she will happily go out of her way to find out about things. Her bravery allows her to maybe go a bit further to find out about something than other would, and it happens that she puts answers over the feelings for other cats (provided she doesn't really know them yet), something which often comes back to bite her.
Backstory:
She was an accident after the meeting between her kittypet mother and an unnamed clan cat, and was born along with two brothers, and one sister. While she was fairly content with the life she had, it was also rather borning, so when she became 10 moons old she sought out a cat to teach her about the larger world, to hunt and provide for herself, and to watch out of the street cats. She found an old neighbor who had been around the block long enough to know a fair amount of stuff, John, and presvauded him to teach her what she needed to know to survive and make it on her own. And so he did, showed her how to hunt and defend herself or flee if need be. And so she began on her wander.
