Ivy

Ivy, a character from the Nightbound book, is a zombie. She is first seen in Chapter 2.

Appearance
Ivy has long purple and pink ombre hair with bangs. She has red glowing eyes and gray skin. She wears a black Victorian goth style dress and wears dark red lipstick.

Personality
Even though Ivy is a goth, she has a much more cheerful and happy personality. She likes to think of herself as "mostly dead" and says her state is everything she ever wanted. Ivy finds her glowing eyes cool and likes her diverse social circle. She is intelligent, as Garrus refers to her as their lady of sterling intellect and Nik refers to her as their peerless creatureologist.

She is also single and happy about it. As she puts it, living folks get "stupid" when they're in love; case in point, how Cassiopeia had it bad for Thomas.

Background
When Ivy was human, she was into occult stuff and got her hands on a copy of the Necronomicon way too young. With that, she accidentally summoned an elder spirit named Arkos the Hungry. He showed up in one of her dreams, telling her that he was going to eat the stars etc. She convinced him that one soul would taste better than a whole cosmos. She locked a tiny part of her soul away in an amulet, and tied the rest of her soul to a banishing spell and allowed him to eat it. Once he was gone, she patched herself up as best as she could. This is why she is "mostly dead".

Garrus and Krom
Ivy with Garrus and Krom form the Graveyard Shift trio and are often seen in each other's company. When the two men join you and your party to find Thomas and put an end to him, she stays behind to hold down the fort. She admits while she has high-octane brainpower, she is not handy in a fight.

Trivia

 * She receives her payment in the form of ghosts so she can eat them. She needs them to maintain her mostly dead status. She describes their taste as "airy, cold and tormented."
 * She shares the same forename as Ivy Fisher from the America's Most Eligible series.
 * In Chapter 6, if you stay at the bar with the trio, Ivy likes the Seasalt Slurry drink. It tastes like "swimming in the ocean" which she used to enjoy when she was mortal and could breathe. Now that she can't breathe, she'd sink like a stone. She doesn't drink the Cocoa Cauldron.
 * In Chapter 8, she says her left hand is her casting hand.
