Serious and melancholic, Ivy possesses the poise of royalty as one might expect of the crown princess of Elusia. While she seems rather cold, expressing very little outward emotion, Ivy is rather introspective about herself, mainly due to her regrets of her role during the initial stages of the war. Her difficulty in opening up to others is also a result of the hostile nature of Elusia's royal court where mistrust was rampant, even for her mother. She is closed off to most other people, especially those outside of Elusia, making it even harder to understand her. Nonetheless, she maintains polite, if not brief and frank, conversations with others and truly wishes to foster positive relationships with the other nations and make friends in general. Above all else, Ivy is loyal to her family as she fights for her father's cause out of loyalty, despite not wholeheartedly supporting his plans. Her younger half-sister, Hortensia, is a bright spot in her life as she appreciates her sister's earnest and cheerful demeanor. Ivy states that she hated the hostile royal court of her childhood, but warmly remembers Hortensia's mother and respects her tenacity and cheer, traits which Hortensia had inherited. Ivy's love for her family and nation is best exemplified by her encounter with her Fell Xenologue counterpart. She is appalled by her counterpart's choice to sacrifice her father and subjects to raise the Fell Dragon, scolding her for leaving nothing but death. She is similarly horrified that Hortensia's counterpart is depressed and accepts death by her counterpart's hand as an inevitability. Despite her father and Elusia's loyalty to Sombron, Ivy is devoutly religious towards Alear, which stems from an initial rebellious decision against the cruelty of the Sombron religious sect and later due to the hope Alear gave to her as a symbol of peace and light. Though her love for her family overrode her devotion in her initial attacks, after the death of her father, Ivy defects to the Divine Dragon's army, knowing that they are fighting for the best interests for the world. At first, Ivy privately observes Alear, seemingly stalking them with an "angry" expression. It was only upon Alear inquiring with her that she reveals that she was subtly star-struck being in front of them and even bluntly admits that she loves Alear, albeit as "a patron would their deity". Despite her emotional distance and seriousness in most situations, Ivy has a deep fear of ghosts and is rather easily spooked in the dark, reacting fearfully to mere shadows from a bush while walking around the Somniel at night. Amusingly, she has a bit of an episode when she questions Celica if the Emblems are ghosts. She is embarrassed when people discover her in the middle of her panic attacks.

Ivy is the daughter of King Hyacinth and the Crown Princess of Elusia. Despite her high position, Ivy hated growing up in the middle of the hostile royal family court, which was fraught with backstabbing and plots for personal gain. Even her own mother, while being the Queen of Elusia, found distaste in Hyacinth's numerous concubines. Only one of her father's concubines managed to win over everyone in the court through pure grit and positivity, even Ivy's mother. This concubine was the mother of Hortensia, one of her younger half-siblings. While Hortensia's mother would pass when Hortensia was seven, Ivy grew particularly close with Hortensia, becoming her beloved younger sister. She has two retainers: Kagetsu and Zelkov. In recent times, additionally, her father's sudden change when he desired to revive the Fell Dragon Sombron caused concern. In secret, Ivy began to worship the Divine Dragons as a personal protest against the growing religious sect within Elusia. With time, her worship turned into true devotion. Despite this, Ivy's love and loyalty to her father overrode her devotion and faithfully obeyed his tasks as her royal station required. When the Divine Dragon Alear began their quest to reclaim the Emblem Rings, King Hyacinth tasked both Ivy and Hortensia with stealing the Rings. To accomplish this goal, he gave Ivy the Ring of the Sage Lord, which she proceeded to use in her siege of Brodia Castle. Ultimately, the siege failed and she lost the ring. For her failure, Hyacinth refused to give his eldest daughter another ring and forced her to fight Alear's forces so he could complete the sacrifice of King Morion to revive Sombron. Despite a valiant fight, Ivy is defeated and begs for death. Alear convinces Ivy that her father had abandoned her to die by the nature of his order and finds no reason to kill her. Without any place to go, she leaves the battlefield at the mercy of the Divine Dragon. Later, after the revival of Sombron and the subsequent death of King Hyacinth, Ivy joins Alear's forces during their escape from the Four Hounds. She also recovered the Rings of the Lady of the Plains and Princess Exalt and gives them to Alear. As thanks, they allow her to use the Ring of the Lady of the Plains as Elusia was the kingdom that originally safeguarded that ring. Ivy travels with Alear to Solm where she meets Queen Seforia. After helping Alear locate Princess Timerra, they return to Solm Palace to find it under attack by Elusia with Hortensia having captured the Queen. Ivy desperately pleads to Hortensia to release her, but Hortensia, still loyal to Sombron out of belief that he could revive and restore their father, refuses. Alear and Ivy eventually wear down Hortensia's desire to hold Seforia hostage, but the Four Hounds intervene with Zephia using the corrupted Ring of the Instructor to control Hortensia and force her to attack Ivy and Alear's forces. In the aftermath of the battle, Hortensia is freed from her brainwashing and Ivy convinces her to leave the Elusian forces so they can stop Sombron and restore Elusia to normal. Seforia forgives Hortensia and Ivy for Elusia's actions and requests that they atone by restoring Elusia back to a peaceful country. Ivy's main weapons are tomes.
