Character Information
Character Name: Pamela Isley |Poison Ivy
Fandom/Canon/Setting: DC Comics
Age: Uuuh let’s go with between 30-35, since that’s how old she acts like? Around 33? Comics are pretty determined to keep everyone young and under 35 so their ages are complicated. Plus the toxins, pheromones etc in her body keep her looking like a young healthy woman.
Timeline: After Gotham City Sirens, so more or less end of canon.
Reference: DC Comics | Batman
Character History: DC Comics Wikia | DC Comics
Personality:
Ivy is a smart, capable and independent woman.
…She is also delusional and crazy
It’s pretty common knowledge that Ivy is a Batman villain, but honestly at her canon point Ivy couldn’t care less about the caped crusader. Sure, she hates the man- but she doesn’t hate him any more than she hates humanity, men… and anyone who gets in her way. Ivy isn’t a villain to get world domination, vengeance on anything of the sort- she’s a one of the good guys because she will put flora (her children, as she calls them) in front of everything and everyone. She thinks humanity has overdone their stay and corrupted Earth, making it an almost uninhabitable place and as long as there are humans in it.
Which, yeah, pretty good starting material for a villain. Ivy hates humans, especially men who she sees as disposable and easily manipulated scum. Some humans (almost exclusively women) have managed to earn her respect and, in some cases, admiration- but chances of that happening are really far and between and it takes, in the best of cases, years of working together to get to that point.
Though it should be mentioned that there’s an obvious exception to the rule: Ivy loves kids. She had a very hard childhood raised by two extremely distant parents she can’t help but feel bad for them. But because she knows they are her weakness, she does her best to stay away from them- and she wouldn’t want to put them in danger with her… adventures, anyway.
Pam is definitely a professional. By that I mean that she’s not the kind of villain to just use brute force to get what she wants, or to jump straight into a situation without considering the possible outcomes and planning accordingly- she actually does very little fighting, and when she does find herself having to get into a physical fight she uses her plants instead (specially as restrains, Ivy loves to restrain people). She’s more likely to try to manipulate people towards getting her way, discretely killing those who oppose her or plots like threatening the city with her poisonous spores until they meet her demands (usually closing down polluting factories, killing CEOs who have shown little to no respect for nature…). She’s a skilled doctor, and before she became Poison Ivy she was Pamela Isley- one of the most promising botanist in her generation. She has knowledge of botany (obviously), chemistry, genetics, and plenty of others that she uses to her advantage quite efficiently.
But that doesn’t mean she never gets personal. There’s a memorable time where she went out of her way to kill the owners of the corporation that destroyed her personal paradise island in slow, painful ways that surprised even Batman himself. I said she isn’t moved by revenge but- well, it’s just that she doesn’t usually care enough to make it personal.
But when it is? Hell hath no fury like a scorned Poison Ivy.
What about Love?:
What about love indeed. Ivy’s views on love are- complicated, specially so right before the reboot. Earlier it would have been easy to argument Ivy doesn’t believe in love, considering all the pain she’s gone through because of it. But it’s actually made clear at the end of Gotham City Sirens that she does actually believe in love.
She’s in love herself, and she’s followed Harley ‘till the end because of it. She will forgive anything, she will forgive the betrayal she went through when Harley picked the Joker and she will stay by her side and help her recover because of love. Ivy isn’t a very ‘lovable’ woman, and she doesn’t even create other kinds of bonds often but when she does? They are as strong as iron and she will die before betraying those she loves. Even when it isn’t romantic love- she asked Batman to find a cure to her powers, her main indentity, because she’d hurt one of the kids she loved. So Aphrodite might have noticed that intensity, the powerful bonds she creates even if it takes forever?
Not to mention her pheromones and powers might come in handy. Just saying.
Abilities:
> Immune to literally all poisons, viruses, bacteria, fungi and other parasites (so she literally can’t get sick)
> She can produce pheromones to control those around her, but how much it affects the person depends on their willpower so she might have to alter the… ‘doses’ to affect them.
> She can control plant live to her will, making them grow or move or even attack people. She can also ‘talk’ to them, but that depends on the writer- and I’m choosing to have her receive images and feelings out of them instead of having outright conversations with them.
>After a certain ‘power boost’ thanks to the Swamp Thing this part of her powers have grown exponentially, to the point where she’s almost a nature goddess (and she certainly sees herself as one). She is NOT a goddess, she’s just incredibly in tune with plant life and is able to manipulate it easily.
> She can alter the chemicals that run through her blood to turn them into toxins, pure pheromones… or even something simple as changing the amount of chlorophyll in her blood to change the tone of her skin from green to a more human tone.
Stock: Nothing. …Literally nothing her clothes are plants…
Housing: Beta, probably, because of all the nature and wilderness in Ivy? Second choice would be Zeta, because she’s also distant and reclusive.
Action Samples: Test Drive
Prose Samples: Test Drive
Mature Rating Awareness: I understand and accept! Also: You're not my enemy, Batman. I used to think defeating you was my main objective in life. No. You're merely a hindrance. My main goal now and forevermore will be a better world. If that means we cross swords, so be it, but... I've changed.
