Iris-Vivienne Madden/Relationships

Family
Ivy’s elderly parents were childhood neighbours who attended Ever After High. Unfortunately, they had an explosive relationship — that is to say, they did not like each other and found it hard to believe they were to marry. Years later in their adulthood, they crossed paths and fell in love.

Ivy’s an only child, but both her parents lived near their extended family in Russia and hence had no shortage of love. She was constantly surrounded by relatives and watched. This might’ve been a reason why she struggled to adjust to Switzerland — Ivy went from always being fussed over 24/7 to school and only her parents.

Friends
Despite her craving for friends, it’s extremely difficult for Ivy to consider someone a friend purely because of how jaded and cynical she is.

Adeline Light
Ivy knows about Addy's curse which is why she feels comfortable around the next Light Princess. She knows that Addy is literally incapable of having negative thoughts about others and sticks to the princess as a result. The fact that Addy is relatively sociable is a plus, since she doesn’t have to worry about her actions and words when Addy is around.

With the older girl around, Ivy feels free to behave as she likes, and occasionally feels relaxed enough to reign in her people-pleasing as well as be more honest. Given the recipient though, this might be a bad idea, since Addy has no concept of gravitas and encourages Ivy to “just be happy and not think about the sad things”. Needless to say, it doesn’t work out well.

Acquaintances
Ivy has much more acquaintances and is generally well-liked across the board. She has a tendency to stick to folks who are popular and immature, since she thinks it's easier for them to warm up to her.
