About Ivy SolikhaBackstory:
Ivy was born to a law abiding couple in Talingarde – or so it appeared. What is without question was that her father – Godfrey - was an extremely devout follower of Miltra. The man had dedicated his life to Talingarde, defending her borders, fighting against the forces of evil, or the monsters that plagued the land. After years of service, he eventually fell in love with a woman, and hoped to start a family. What the man did not know, was that the woman he had fell in love with was secretly a fully-fledged servant of darkness. The succubus hoped to humiliate and disgrace the man by having him father a half fiend child, while also hoping to indirectly sow further discord and doubt among other families and their own children should the nature of the relationship become public knowledge – just how widespread had the half fiend taint spread? When Ivy was born the fiend vanished, her ‘work’ such as it was, had been completed, and she sat back to watch the developments. Conflicted, Godfrey was left with a child he no longer wanted, as well as the knowledge that if Ivy’s parentage was discovered, the resulting fallout could ruin him. Unable to muster the courage to directly harm his own child, the man nevertheless decided to abandon Ivy alone, in the hope that the infant child would starve and die on its own – thus ridding himself of the problem. Fortunately for Ivy, she was discovered by an old woodsman couple that had an apothecary shop in the city. They made frequent trips into the forests in search of herbs and stumbled across the child on one such visit. Taking the appearance of child as a gift from Miltra, they took Ivy in, and nursed the child to full health. As Ivy grew up, she was acutely aware that there was something different about her. She noticed her teeth becoming more pointed, nails longer, sharper. She discovered that she could change her shape briefly to hide such cosmetic changes to her body, but began to suspect that she had a different sort of heritage. She continued to work with her foster parents in the apothecary, but began to hunt for her real parents in secret, combing the archives for births and eventually closing in on her father. She tracked down Godfrey and learned the truth about her heritage, and the circumstances for why she had been abandoned as a child. Hurt, and angry that the man had placed his own reputation above her own life, Ivy lashed out with dark magic, hexing the man and forcing him to drink a poisonous concoction. As Ivy watched the lift drain from her father’s eyes she felt a surge of pride that justice had finally been done… This feeling didn’t last particularly long. The famous witch hunter Sir Balin quickly tracked down Ivy - tracing the poison to the apothecary and from there to Ivy herself. Sentenced to Branderscar, Ivy was incensed by the injustice of it all, swearing to take her revenge Sir Balin, and bring about her own brand of justice to Talingarde. Crunch:
