Ivy Adderstone

## Description

Ivy is a middle-aged human from Alabama, born with burning red hair, freckles and the soul of an adventurer. Some say she was birthed and hit the ground running, hopped on a broomstick and off she went, sailing into the sunset. She has an athletic build from an active childhood of being a salad-loving tomboy and as soon as her breasts ballooned and she was of age, she took to riding every gearstick mechanic in town. She has slightly above average height, with heels to make her leaner and short jeans to lift her ass past twelve o' clock.

## Occupation / Career

Ivy's first job at five years old was crop farming, and she took to growing plants, fruits, flowers and even entire gardens by the time she was sixteen. She became a botanist and loved feeding the animals on the family farm and all twelve neighbours in her small town of Mooresville. Her and her two younger sisters Mari Lee and Lora Lee became known as the troublesome trio with their penchant for pranks, but the town found them endearing for always helping out on the farm and at the Church. The girls were so smart, then often wrote fairy tale stories for the other kids, some even winning the attention of book publishers across the state.

That all changed one Sunday night after bible study when Ivy came upon an arcane grimoire lodged among the stacks of bibles. The spells contained inside opened Ivy's minds to forbidden knowledge and new posibilities. Lora was on board with trying a few spells but Mari took some convincing. That night, the sisters used the power of three to open a portal to the Fae realm, but their ritual was unstable and the portal blew, transforming all the farm animals into magical creatures, cows into Minotaurs, pigs into Porcein, chickens into Cockatrice.

Mari Lee regretted her part in the incident and hates the existence of magic to this day. Word had spread that the Adderstone girls had become witches and all year, the family was harassed and demonised. Eventually the sisters were disowned and forced to move out. Lora and Mari migrated to England in their late teens and Ivy used her now stable portal spells in fleeing to the rumoured school on the magical island of Sirithtir, there she lived and studied at the Salvatore Magik Academy, and was sorted into House Volo for her intrepid spirit. Almost two decades later, after her many adventures through the realms of Fae, she has returned to the familiar grounds to teach the one thing she knows best, the care of Magical Creatures.

## Quotes

"Howdy y'all. I'm Ivy Lee Adderstone 'n this here's ma frien' Draco. Can be a little rascal when nervous but otherwise he's a real charmer. I'm a cryptozoologist n' realm walker, which is a fancy way of sayin' I'm a homeless gal bumbin' it across the worlds. Along the ways, I've met the scariest of monsters n' some o' the cutest little devils you can imagine. As a witch born n' raised in Alabama, ma sisters n' I grew up carin' for cattle n' horses, n' our two dogs. So naturally, I act the same way to ridin' dragons as I do ridin' a bull. Like a cowgirl."

"They gave me a job at that magic school at Ol' Salvatore's in the middle of pocket dimension nowheres n' I get to brin' ma monsters down for 'em learners ta say hello, maybe catch a few of their own n' build up the animal pen. Mind you magical creatures are a whole different bottle of fish, right? Aint that how the sayin' goes?"
