*Ivy Tippett was a major NPC in the main Crossworlds campaign.*

## History

When Ivy falls through a doorway in Kealoha's sacred temple, it crumbles behind her in an evil magic spell. She is met by Dirt, a cactus leshy simply passing through, and his animal companion, Squishy, as well as Pandora Price, a sacred servant of Kealoha. The four of them travel to the nearby village of Paulisper. There, they meet Redacted, a travel guide and lowkey con artist, and Anjelika, a living construct of a porcelain doll.

   They travel together to Refersi, the capital of the Crossworlds, to seek a meeting with the Queen. They manage to seek counsel with Prince Luka Novikov, a well-mannered and easily flattered young adult who agrees to help them. In an effort to keep the situation calm and keep Ivy safe, the party accepts Killian Foy's offer to find Spectre.

In the fight against Killian Foy to protect Spectre/Luka, Ivy and Luka are both hit in hiding, knocking her out. She is carried to safety by the party.

Ivy, after the battle with Killian, is given a wolf familiar named Echo--one of the wolves constantly beside Kealoha as a protector. She travels with Echo as a companion from leaving Refersi onwards.

In Cantilena, Pandora reveals to Ivy the reason Kealoha is so insistent on her protection: Ivy is part of a prophecy to be fulfilled when she is older. Ivy commiserates with Dirt, Tairin, and Luka. Also while in Cantilena, Ivy spends a week gaining experience by taking care of smaller, safer odd jobs posted in the Flower and Compass lobby.

In Capua Tor, Ivy learns how to talk directly with Echo.

In Kritya, Ivy crafts a garden behind the party's house with Redacted. It remains here to this day, and is named in her honor. She also gains knowledge from the Krytian residents. Upon Kealoha's doorway closing, Ivy and Echo lose their magic.

Once in Capua Tor again, at the party, Ivy is swayed by Pandora's approach to helping Mairi. Because of this, Ivy decides to follow Pandora's tenets and beliefs, making her Pandora's first follower.

At the Deific Gala in Refersi, Ivy meets Blossom Idoya, leader of the Marigolds. Blossom informs her that prior to moving to Dawncrest, Ivy's hometown, her mother was a member of the Marigolds, an organization in the Crossworlds dedicated to traditionally feminine tasks. Ivy stays at the Refersi Palace for the final battle, along with everyone who was trapped at the gala. During this time, she decides to officially follow the rest of the Crossworlds Pantheon.

At the end of the campaign, Ivy returns to Dawncrest. She returns to the Crossworlds once yearly to visit her mother's side of the family and the rest of the party. She also occasionally receives visitors from the Crossworlds. She continues to live by the tenets and practices laid out by the Crossworlds Pantheon.
