Ivy Valentine

Countess Isabella "Ivy" Valentine is a protagonist from the Soulcalibur series. She appeared in the 29th episode of Death Battle, Ivy VS Orchid, where she fought against Black Orchid from the Killer Instinct series.
==History==
Isabella Valentine was on the doorsteps of a London mansion as a mere infant, raised by the rich and loving Valentine family for most of her life. In the last years of his life, Ivy's father went mad attempting to seek out the legendary blade Soul Edge, and worked himself to death. His wife would perish soon after, but not before telling Ivy that they weren't her biological parents, and that her true father was the cursed pirate Cervantes de León, who formerly wielded Soul Edge. With that, Ivy became determined to destroy the sword that ruined her family. She constructed her own sword, a whip-like blade known as Valentine, and used the hand of the Azure Knight, Nightmare, to breathe life into it. However, the process ended up tying her own fate and life force to Soul Edge, causing her to become immortal. That means should she succeed in destroying the accursed sword, she will die as well. It is a fate that she has accepted and a path she has resigned herself to and continues to walk.
