Ivy Valentine

Isabella "Ivy" Valentine is one of the characters of the Soul series, and one of the side characters of Creator World II. She is one of the people who search and know about the Soul Swords, and was adopted by the house of Valentine, which had its name ruined due to her father's search for Soul Edge. She got injured, then Creator chased off the thugs, then carried her to the base to treat her wounds.

## Background

Ivy was part of the House of Valentine, one of the wealthiest families in London. She, like many others, were raised with love by her parents, but her father, Earl Valentine went crazy over Soul Edge, thinking it was the "Key to Eternal Youth."

To honor her father, Ivy chose to become an alchemist and investigate Soul Edge. During this investigation, she uncovered the true nature of the sword–it was an evil blade that feasted on souls. Vercci, Adams, Captain Cervantes; the more she read of the fates of those who had come into contact with Soul Edge, the more she became convinced of her suspicions.

Filled with rage and despair, Ivy vowed to avenge the death of her father by using all of her knowledge to destroy Soul Edge. Ivy realized she needed to create a weapon powerful enough to destroy Soul Edge. Her knowledge led her to successfully create a weapon capable of shifting back and forth from a whip to a sword. This weapon was merely mechanical though, and Ivy believed the only thing which could stand against a living weapon is another living weapon. She attempted to use alchemy and her own blood to give the sword life, but all attempts were unsuccessful.

Finding her alchemic skills useless, she turned to studying ancient sorcery. Every midnight, she would attempt summoning rituals, hoping to call upon a being who would grant her sword life. With every failed attempt, Ivy became more desperate and angry.

At last, one night, a large malformed arm emerged from her summoning circle. The arm, sensing her attachment to her weapon, proceeded to touch the whip sword. Ivy heard a soundless voice seemingly coming from the arm.

"I, Cross of the Pledge, shall confer upon thee the Point in the Escutcheon of Destruction - Dexter Purpure."

The ceremony came to an end and the mysterious being vanished. Under the moonlight, Ivy's sanity began to crack. She finally had the weapon she had sought to create; a living sword which would obey her every command. Calling her weapon the 'Ivy Blade', she set out on her journey to find and destroy Soul Edge.

Eventually, after the 4 previous events involving the soul swords, her new soul lights the path to the future. She severed her bond with the cursed sword and has now started a new life.

## The Encounter

While walking out, she encountered some Auto-Scum deciding to take her in as a spoil for their leader, but a certain somebody came in their car. Thinking that he is gonna run her over, they flee. He comes out to find the unconscious alchemist.... or is she?

"Human.... are you alright? Come hither, you seem to be a lone survivor."

All of a sudden, she comes up to fight him. After a few hits, she was bopped on the head, *really* making her unconscious. Creator drives back to the base to heal the alchemist.

"Oh dear."
