Poison Ivy

__NOTOC__
=Who is Poison Ivy?=
Poison Ivy is an eco-terrorist and prominent enemy of Batman. She is depicted as one of the world's most prominent eco-terrorists, motivated by an obsession with plants, misandry, botany, and extremist environmentalism with a desire to save the world from the evils of man through any means necessary. A genius scientist and meta-human with hybridized plant DNA, Poison Ivy uses mutant plants, will-bending pheromones and toxins from plants and her own bloodstream for her criminal activities. Ivy has also developed a special relationship with fellow villain Harley Quinn, with the two often being depicted as recurring partners-in-crime, friends and, sometimes, love-interests.
=Backstory of Poison Ivy=
Poison Ivy is depicted as being a seductive temptress who is fully aware of her beauty and will use it to get what she wants, aided by the pheromones her unique biology provides for her. Ivy feels it's her duty to protect "The Green" although her methods are often destructive and cause a great deal of pain and death to people around her. A sociopath, Ivy has no qualms about killing people who get in her way, and rarely shows genuine affection for anyone aside from her beloved plants, whom she treats like her own children. She has a particular hatred for men due to her traumatic past, which consistently depicts her as being transformed by a man - most incarnations of Ivy were transformed by Dr. Jason Woodrue - and sees them as sexist pigs whom she can manipulate before tossing them aside once they've outlived their usefulness.
The only person Ivy shows genuine affection for is Harley Quinn, though the nature of their relationship varies depending on the universe. In some, they're depicted as best friends, in others they treat each other like family, and in others they are portrayed as lovers. Although their relationship has problems, particularly due to Harley's obsession with Joker constantly getting in the way, Ivy loves her as much as she is capable of loving any human. Aside from Batman, who does it more out of moral obligation than genuine affection, Ivy is the only person who treats Harley like a real person instead of an object, giving her the affectionate nickname "Harl", and patiently dealing with all the chaos that follows her around. Being the more mature and experienced of the pair, she constantly tries to help and protect Harley, showing the kind of devotion to her that she normally saves for her plants. Harley's more childish personality sometimes enables Ivy to drop her guard and enjoy herself as she essentially reminds Ivy of her own humanity. She is always ready to care for her after one of the Joker's vicious assaults and constantly tries to persuade her to leave him.
Ivy also has a genius level intellect and is fully aware of it due to her egotistical nature. In addition to her powers, Ivy is a brilliant scientist and sees herself as superior to everyone around her. She is often disgusted by the actions of other Arkham inmates, particularly the Joker, as she sees their crimes as being petty and not benefitting anyone but themselves whilst Ivy, as misguided as her attempts are, is trying to benefit the wellbeing of the planet. Hypocritically, Ivy is just as manipulative as Joker and although she is not nearly as cruel to Harley as he is, she sometimes tries to manipulate her just as she would anyone else. The difference is that while Joker manipulates and abuses Harley for his own gain, Ivy manipulates her because she wants what's best for her, although some incarnations have the more selfish motive of wanting Harley for herself...
