Ivy Bean

Ivy Bean is the daughter of Jack Bean, of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Her destiny is to trade her beloved cow for some magic beans, climb up the resulting beanstalk, and steal from a giant. Eventually, she must kill the giant by chopping down the beanstalk.

Personality
Gruff and rough upon first meeting this Southern belle, Ivy has no tolerance for BS. Her first defense is sarcasm and rude, foul language, followed by a decisive swing of her ax in your general direction.

The ginger does have a soft spot for plants and a certain French prince, but beyond that, she refuses to let anyone see her as anything but tough. Despite her reputation for being brusque, she's truly one of the gentlest souls in all of Ever After. Just watch her tend to the unruly flowers in her dorm, speaking to them as if they were children, deserving of the most delicate treatment.

Appearance
Red hair, green eyes, these are the most striking features when you first look at Ivy. She has a square face, and thin lips. She stands at a hearty 5'2", and is small in every manner of speaking.

Her left thumb is green, after being blessed by a fairy she rescued from a thorn bush. Her skin is a light tan, though from mid-upper arm down, she's got a heavy farmer's tan. You know, what with being a farmer and all.

Basic Summar
Jack is a poor boy who lives in the forest with his mother. One day she tells him they are so poor that he must take the cow to market to get some food. On the way Jack meets a man who gives Jack five magic beans in exchange for the cow. His angry mother throws the beans into the garden. Overnight the beans grow into a huge beanstalk and Jack climbs up. At the top he finds a castle where a giant and his wife live. The giant likes to eat children so Jack hides in the oven. Jack goes up the beanstalk three times. When the giant is sleeping, Jack steals a bag of gold, a magic hen, and a golden harp. The third time, the giant wakes up and chases Jack down the beanstalk. Jack and his mother cut down the beanstalk and the giant falls to his death.

Family
Ivy is very much a mama's girl, and loves her mother very much. Lily has loved Ivy since the day they found out they were going to have a baby. Lily and Ivy are, for lack of a better term, two peas in a pod, and are as close as close can be.

On the contrary, Ivy and her father don't get along as well. This is due to the fact that she's so much like him. Both are headstrong, stubborn, and easily set off. However, when it comes down to it, they love each other dearly.

Friends
A kitten by any other name would still be her best friend, but she likes the name Lionel Bellerose more than anything. These two have been friends for only a couple years, but it feels like more than that to Ivy. She loves him very much and values his opinion greatly on every matter in her life, from signing her pledge to whether or not to try and revive a dying plant.

Despite her two left feet, Ivy is BFFAs with Pia Danser as well as roommates. If you ask Ivy if she's got a crush on said Danser, well... you're likely to be met with an ax in your face. Blade side away from your face, of course. Wouldn't want to get detention for hurting someone, after all.
