Ivy Valentine

Ivy (full name Isabella Valentine) hails from London, England of which she was raised by Earl and Countess Valentine. Earl Valentine was a practitioner of alchemy and was driven to madness by his pursuit for the cursed blade, Soul Edge. His ongoing efforts to search for Soul Edge eventually led him to his grave along with his family's fortunes which left the family in ruins. The Countess fell ill and passed away shortly after, leaving Ivy the sole surviving member of the Valentine family.
After receiving a will left behind after the Countess death, Ivy discovered that she was not a true Valentine by birth. Ivy found out that she was found abandoned at the doorstep of their mansion when she was a baby and she was adopted into the family. After reading this, Ivy had no intention of finding her real parents as the Valentines were the only parents she came to know.
Ivy decided to obey the last wishes of her adopted father, and she continued the search for Soul Edge and began to study alchemy. During her investigation, Ivy discovered the true purpose of the sword- it was an evil blade that feasted on souls. To avenge the death of her father, Ivy swore to use all of her power to destroy it. She used strange powers through numerous rituals to summon a mysterious individual who gave life to a mechanical, whip-like sword she crafted of which she called 'Ivy Blade'.
