Personality
Shy, meditative and pensive, but with playful and whimsical side.

While working he tends to be a little scatterbrained, but is passionate and ambitious with plans and focuses on a project at hand.

Avoids conflict and easily gets attached to the smallest of things.

Loves nature and prefferes to be surrounded by it, and because of that tends to choose stone as a medium to work with to not cause any pain to the plants.

Origin
Not much is known about Ivy's blood family or circumstances of birth. Their first appearance in the records of House Marshal places his introduction to the family in, described as a young dandeling  found by Chi hiding in the forests near Voskovy. She had taken him and adopted as one of her own.

Early life
Since their first years, Ivy has shown an interest in spiritual aspects of floral life. It was a usual sight to see them sitting near one of the countless Voskovian bushes and creeks seemingly talking with the plants.

Education
After acquiring of Harrenhal by his mother teen dandelist was pushed to pursue education in architecture to plan out and design the developing city, taking into account his creative spirit. He's known for incorporation of natural solutions into his designs. In the spare time, they had studied dandelist culture and religion.

Death of Chi and rights to Harrenhal
After the sudden disappearence and pressumed passing of their mother, he inherited Chi's Voskovy cave residence and development rights to Harrenhal, which resulted in a lengthy talks over the nature of the deal with Harrenhal's rightful owner, JCaldas. The talks resulted in a stalemate that was to be upheld until all of Chi's debtors repaid in full what they were owed.

Move to Fjordmont
Prolonged and tumulteous talks over of Harrenhal, forced the projects planned in the city to be abandoned and the plot was to stay unused for a long time. That fact lead Ivy to seek other opportunities to develop his skills.

He wouldn't have to wait long becouse not long after, the engagement and subsequent wedding of his house's head - Boreal- was announced. Her spouse was to become one noble man, Charles, freshly appointed head of another powerful Sorligstian noble house of De Manteau. Ivy met his new step-grandfather at his wedding and there, along other news such as the merge between two houses placing Charles as a new joint house head, talks between the two lead to an agreement in which the man promised to place a symbolic cenotaph to his late mother in newly built De Manteau capitol, Fjordmont, in exchange for leading the construction of Goober Godd-Fjell's project and minor contributions to the design.

Interested by the prospect of taking part in such a big project (and partially wanting to get away from the political unrest in Ato) Ivy agreed and started work on the city in the weeks following.

Ivy took over a role of the project overseer and along with Kiwi they led the workers to quick and efficient completion of the city along with Cathedral to the Luthurn religion, to denomination of which he had then recently converted (Bambis), and Chateau De Manteau towering above the rest. Last bricks were layed in and now a grown dandelist could, for now, rest in the palace, in which he moved in sometime before the completion of the city as the Chateau was finished first.
