Backstory: The gargoyle didn't know what was happening when it sprang to life... just that a big human and a small human were being hurt. And so the gargoyle leapt to action, sending the attackers fleeing in horror. The small human said thank you and asked the gargoyle's name. The gargoyle didn't have one. And so the small human said, "I'm going to call you Ivy." The gargoyle, being covered in ivy at the time, thought it was a bit obvious, but decided to go along with it for the small human's sake. The humans asked if Ivy would come home with them so they could show their appreciation, and so Ivy walked with them. That night she learned much. The family were called The Arroyo's. The little one, Sophia. Mofongo is what they called a plate of deliciousness. But most importantly, she learned that the people attacking them were called "The Mendoza Syndicate", and they were hurting people...nice people like The Arroyo's. 18 years have passed since the day the Arroyo's took Ivy home... and during that time she made it her mission to dismantle the Mendoza Syndicate and free Spanish Harlem from its grasp. However the thing about dedicating your life to a single pursuit for nearly 2 decades is that you don't really know what to do once you achieve it. For the first time in her life, Ivy is prepared to venture outside of Spanish Harlem and see what the world has to offer beyond vigilante justice. Name: Ivy Arroyo Ethnicity: Gargoyle Birthplace: Spanish Harlem, New York City Age: 20 Height: 5'4"ft Weight: 130lbs Ivy is a short and slender gargoyle with a beige-skinned androgynous body, a pair of large wings in her back, a reptile-like face with big green-yellow eyes with vertical slit pupils, short black hair with bangs on the sides, tall ears, and a joyful smile with two big teeth in her lower mouth. Her back is hunched, making her look shorter than she really is. She has 4-fingered hands, digitigrade feet with 2 toes, and a long tail with stone spikes at the end. She wears wine-red pants with suspenders and a newsboy cap with holes for her two small horns. She has a nose ring, stone bracelets in her hands and feet, vines covering her hands and arms in the shape of gloves, and the Roman numeral "IV" carved on her back. Her weapon is similar to a British Sten Mk. 5 submachine gun, with two side cartridges in a crossbow shape, and covered in vines. Ivy is kind, friendly and noble. She cares about people and just wants to help them. Ivy feels a personal obligation to get a job to support the Arroyos even though she knows they'd never charge her rent. While kind, Ivy doesn't hate violence, and does enjoy punching criminals. Ivy wants to have a hug whenever she's sad. Ivy dislikes being called the "Savior of Spanish Harlem" as she just wanted to make her neighborhood safe. She also dislikes organized crime due to her history with Mendoza, and doesn't understand why people do bad things for money. Ivy prefers to fight crime without resorting to murder, but it doesn't mean she won't kill. Ivy's hobbies (that don't involve violence) include people-watching, plants, and flying around New York. Ivy doesn't care about who made her or how she came to life as, in her eyes, her life started when she met the Arroyos, and anything before that doesn't matter to her. Ivy is Catholic. She speaks fluent Spanish. Ivy is trying to help Carlos Arroyo become Mayor of New York. Her adoptive family members include Carlos Arroyo, the father, whom is a first-grade school teacher and running a campaign election for mayor. Marla Arroyo is Carlos' wife. Sophia Arroyo is Ivy's adoptive sister, whom studies in Columbia College under Professor Dynamo, and unbeknownst to her family, works for crime lord Wraith as a bookmaker to pay her tuition. Manny Arroyo is Sophia and Ivy's younger brother.
