<<PERSONALITY>>

Ivy is an enthusiastic and charming girl; her quick easy smile has been said to make people fall for her pretty fast. She's quite optimistic and helpful; she loves to help people and often does what she feels like she should do for the people around her. And that often includes being loud, or cute and adorable to the point that it causes cavities. Ivy is the type of person that's really, really adorable; she's also quite fond of touching people, despite their reservations. In fact, Ivy is the type of girl that walks up to a stranger, hugs them, and pecks their cheeks before running off with delighted giggles. It's even worse if she knows you; her friends knew her as ''Miss touches all over'' because Ivy would just grab them in the weirdest of ways. She actually dove her face into her guy friend's lap once, and well. One obvious thing about Ivy is how innocent she can be; constantly confused as to what she did that was wrong or perverted or suggestive, because people just don't realize she's kind of.. oblivious to this.

Or rather, she plays like it. Ivy is actually pretty intelligent, and analytical; she hides a lot of her true feelings and self behind that happy go lucky mask, in hopes that she never, ever has to place a burden on people. She pretends she's always fine and happy, even when she should be sad and crying. This could simply be Ivy refusing to acknowledge negative emotions within herself, or just Ivy not wanting to make a drama issue with it. This shows towards Ivy's trend of self-sacrificial impulses, where she helps someone despite the fact that it could really harm herself severely. She tends to keep her own emotions under that facade, because she just doesn't want to put that sort of stress and weight on other people. She inherently thinks that unless she puts down her own wants, desires, and needs, she is worth nothing and only causes trouble for people. This is part of her guilt complex, as she constantly feels the need to put herself down in order to feel somewhat sociably adaptable. She tends to push others away when she needs them, and often willingly dives into danger. This may make her a bit reckless, as she doesn't necessarily communicate what's necessary to at times.

Ivy loves walking into rain, wind, storms, typhoons, tornadoes. You name it; if it involves rain and wind, or one and the either, she loves walking in it. She also likes the quiet of nighttime, and has a bad habit of wandering around on moonlight nights, often getting lost. She loves cute, squishy things, and just tackles them. She also has a habit of finding the nearest, warmest thing to cuddle up to at night; that often involves entering other people's rooms.. by accident. And then waking up in odd positions. She's scared of letting her true self out, because she doesn't want to hurt people with her true self. She doesn't dislike much, except for people giving up; because she is a really stubborn person herself, those that give up are no better then trash.. and she usually gets very, very mad at them for it.

<<HISTORY>>

Hanahime's life was not an easy one; her mother was a whore, and she was born in the bad part of town. Before she had even hit three years old, her mother had given her to her aunt, and Hanahime was sent off to be adopted. This was because that, as much as Hanahime's mother loved her, she could not take care of her; and her auntie Miyu didn't have a lot of time on her hands. But when Hanahime was adopted, the adopting family worked out an agreement with Miyu that pinned her as a family friend, and should be called auntie. So Hanahime grew up with a sweet elderly couple, that loved to dote on her, and an aunt that visited as much as she wanted to; but for some reason, as a child, nobody wanted to interact with Hanahime. She had no friends, and was teased horribly by the other children, and later on her classmates. Although she was a bright girl, that always smiled, it seemed like everyone was determined to hate her; and in fact, that was never Hanahime's fault really. Her sweet parents had been, behind her back, telling the other families how terrible of a child she was, and those parents encouraged their children to stay away from her.

So it was really difficult, since her parents were in fact sinking their adopted daughter's ship. They were doing it on purpose, just so that Hanahime would never part from them; it was quite rude, as when she reached the age of primary school, they began to actually show this at home too. They began making ridiculous rules, and punishing her at the slightest mistake; they were constantly herding her, to try and cull the girl. They wanted to keep her in their cage forever, and Hanahime just kept smiling, as to not worry anyone. But that just made things worse, and worse and worse, because her adoptive parents thought that she was just not breaking. So slowly, injuries started to creep up on her body; and she continued with them, until grade 6. She had just turned 12 years old, when her teacher had noticed that her shirt had bled through; and she asked Hanahime to take off her shirt. What she saw, and the rest of the class saw, shocked them. The angry red welts, and the marks; immediately, the teacher, despite having spoken to Hanahime's adoptive parents, contacted the other source. It was Auntie Miyu; and when she knew of her niece's situation, she brought it straight to the police and child services. Hanahime was immediately taken from her home, with all of the things she could bring, and put in with Auntie Miyu; and that meant moving. Which landed the girl in Osaka.


She started Junior High, and well, she was a bit uncertain of everything. But on her first day? She met this black haired guy, that pointed her to the right classroom. Arriving at the ceremony, she noticed how many people there were.. and that was weird for Hanahime, that had been raised in a smaller mountain village. The girl felt embarrassed, but on her first day of school, everyone was curious about how this cute little junior was here. She didn't explain everything, just that she had moved in with her aunt after her parents were.. indisposed, and how she wasn't used to Osaka yet. She mentioned seeing this black-haired, red eyed guy, and some of the girls squealed. They told Hanahime that his name was Tennouji Ikari, and he was pretty well known as a hot guy to the girls. Particularly the underclassmen. The blonde was a bit confused, but smiled; she thought she could be happy here. She made friends pretty quickly, and had a few good friends. They quickly realized Hanahime was a touchy feely person, when she dove her head into one of their guy friend's laps. He was pretty shocked and surprised, but.. since Hanahime then looked up and gave the most adorable mewl, well he let it go. She did tell everyone to call her Hana though, because Hanahime was overtly long.

Hanahime was pretty happy at her Junior high school, making friends. But there was something that her friends introduced to her; and that was gaming. Auntie Miyu got her a few consoles and a computer, since she was working as a full time personal assistant. So they weren't poor, and Miyu figured Hanahime deserved to be spoiled. She went along on quite a few monickers when online, but she was playing this online game, where her name was Yasha. She met this person named Sorin within that game, and began a friendship with him near instantly. He taught her how to use some of the weapons, and they began to have a really tight bond. He was also one of the first people she ever opened up to about her past. It was somehow easier online; she had never asked him where he lived, because she was scared to know. But sometime after, he just.. disappeared, and the girl was a bit worried.. and eventually moved on to other games. She kept crossing paths with Tennouji Ikari, slowly starting to develop a crush on him, since he always seemed to help her out when she needed it; such as showing her the way to somewhere, or stopping someone's kendo strike when she tripped into the room. These were all small actions, and Hanahime knew he probably wouldn't even remember her; but to her.. this was the first time any male has truly been nice to her, and not just because she looked cute.

She had thought, initially, that being thought of as cute, and well going on these weird outings with guys was a good thing, but all of her female friends had warned her against it.. and then one day, one of them tried to shove his hand into a place she didn't like, and she socked him. Pretty hard too. It was the first time anyone had seen Hanahime angry; and well let's just say nobody tried to take advantage of her.. especially not when the popular Tennouji beat them up when he saw them do it. But that just made Hanahime's crush grow even more; so when she heard how much of a gamer he was, she ravished as many games as she could.. just to have points in common with him. She also joined the martial arts club, in order to get closer to him. She just couldn't help it; something about Ikari-senpai made her feel all tingly inside. She even started to wear a few hoodies, and her classmates loved it; but to her? It was all to get closer to him. She was then offered a spot on the student council; and knowing that she could interact with representatives of the classes, which included one senpai, she immediately accepted. She loved her job, and easily breezed through the entrance exams into high school.. and joined Ikari-senpai at his school of choice!

Of course, she joined the student council there too, and well, tried her best to get closer and closer to Ikari. But she was a bit worried; what if he never remembered her, and just though of her as a creeper stalker? That made her really worried; and well more guys asked her out, but she turned them all down. As she was maturing, turning 15 now, she was growing more and more beautiful.. and well even the other senpais were starting to notice how this little kohai of theirs was pretty cute. And then one of Ikari's friends was hitting on her, when she bumped into said senpai; and her immediate reaction was a giant blush, and she left her things, and ran. Later, Ikari-senpai brought her things, which made her redder then a tomato and she couldn't help but stutter.. and then he left again. But a week later, she had waved at him, and he looked confused; he had forgotten her already. And she knew still.. that she hadn't made an impression on his memory. But she wasn't going to give up! After all.. he didn't have a girlfriend yet!

So when he suddenly approached her, her heart starting beating. He seemed almost distant, lost in thought, and then he mentioned he had gotten a game, named Sword Art Online; or rather, was going to get it, when the beta was already over, and the game was set to release. Hanahime felt her face flush; he had told her something like that? When she asked him why he told her, he just shrugged and walked away. The girl was really, really confused... but she wanted to get that game. When she got home? She begged, and begged and whined, and rolled, and whine and did this for like a week straight, before her auntie Miyu cracked and finally got her the pre-order and the Nerve gear to go with it. She was so excited, but couldn't bring herself to tell Ikari; she would just have to find him in game after all! So the day that it came out? The girl settled herself.. and well had a hard time picking a name. But she thought about it, and came up with ''Ivy'' which was a plant. And then she dived into the SAO world.



She wanted a good handle on the game, and thus she took her time to learn the basics, and do really easy things, such as learning a sword art or two for her ax, and trying to figure out what she picked. She was actually having a fun time, despite being alone; she had made her character look kind of scary, in order to keep those weird creepers on MMORPG girls away. But suddenly, she felt her body lurch, and land in the Town of Beginnings yet again. Confused the girl looked around and beside her was some guy named Ikari. Seeing how he had a name like her senpai, she just looked away a bit. She didn't want to muddle her senpai with.. this person. So she waited patiently, and then the thundering noises.. and then the voice. The announcement that told her she would never, ever see Ikari-senpai again. She doubted he skipped school like she did to try out the game; her heart sunk, as she felt the tears bottle at the corner of her eyes. A mirror had landed in her hands, and suddenly, that dark appearance she had made had been blown away, showing her own face. This was scaring her somewhat, as she felt her body shake. She knew no one here.. and she was going to be left behind. And yet, when she turned her head, the tears almost ready to fall.. she saw a sight she could never forget. A familiar head of black hair, and crimson eyes that had already stolen her heart before. Right beside her, was Ikari. The man she loved already so painfully, so deeply that she couldn't understand just why. And all she could do.. is say just one thing, knowing her own feelings were being overwhelmed by the very words she had heard. The very fact she could call his name.. he was her anchor right now. And she couldn't help but want to confirm it, despite the absurd fear in her. She.. wanted it to be Ikari. If only to feel a bit better.. to not be alone. So all she could do.. is call his name, and cling to the meaning that perhaps it was him.

''Ikari... senpai?''

SWORD ARTS

CHERRY BLOSSOM BARRAGE. two-handed axes
2 Strikes, 0 Specials, 100% Speed, 100% Power

When Ivy activates this sword art, the ax blades glow a beautiful sakura pink, much like the name. Ivy then moves forward in any manner, to unleash a series of two strikes. The first one is vertical, and the second, using the momentum to swing before hitting the ground, slings in from a horizontal direction. This can be done from the arc of the first swing reaching upwards, then go right, or the first swing going downwards and then reaching left. The secondary start of direction depends in which direction the initial swing was in; the system set that up = right and that down = left. This means if Ivy swings down, she swings then from the left; if she swings up, then she swings from the right. This is to prevent variable swing arcs.

PLUM BLADE. two-handed axes
1 Strikes, 1 Specials, 75% Speed, 125% Power

Ivy begins this sword art by her ax slightly behind her, dropping below waist level. A plum coloured glow will grow around the edge; once that is done, Ivy moves in the designated direction. The sword art will not be completed until Ivy swings. Once Ivy swings, if it connects? It has slightly superior strength then normal; it can also knockback the target a certain amount of distance. This is mostly used in order to re-position monsters for a better opportunity for herself and/or her team.
