Ivy (Deadlock)

She loves spending time with the Arroyo family.

She enjoys flying around New York City and discovering new places.

She likes plants and observing people.

She has a special affection for Spanish Harlem and considers New York an extraordinary city.

She wants to find a job to help support her family.

She prefers protecting people over seeking recognition.

She dislikes transforming into stone because she does not like feeling like an immobile statue.

Ivy's main goal was always to protect the people in her community. She never sought fame, power, or recognition. She simply wanted the residents of Spanish Harlem to live without fear of crime.

After defeating the Mendoza Syndicate, her motivation begins to change. She now wants to discover what she can do with her life, find a job, and help support the Arroyos financially, even though they do not expect her to pay for living with them.

She also wants to explore the world beyond her neighborhood. Since she spent most of her life focused on fighting crime, there are still many ordinary human experiences she has yet to discover.

The Arroyo Family: They are Ivy's most important connection. They welcomed her when she had just come to life and taught her how to understand the world. Ivy considers them her true home and is willing to protect them above many other things.

Sophia Arroyo: She is the girl who gave Ivy her name and one of the most important people in her life. Ivy considers her part of her family and cares deeply about her well-being.

Carlos Arroyo: Sophia's father and an important figure in Ivy's life. She admires him, trusts his judgment, and often thinks about what he would do when she needs to make a decision.

The Mendoza Syndicate: This criminal organization represents the main conflict of Ivy's past. Its members harmed the Arroyo family and other people in Spanish Harlem, leading Ivy to spend years fighting them.

Ivy combines her supernatural gargoyle characteristics with abilities that allow her to protect her teammates.

• Flight: She uses her wings to travel through the air and reach difficult locations.
• Stone Form: She can temporarily transform into stone, withstand dangerous situations, and damage nearby enemies.
• Vine Control: She uses supernatural vegetation to restrict her opponents' movement.
• Ally Bond: She can connect with a teammate to share certain benefits and improve their cooperation during combat.
• Aerial Transportation: She can carry an ally while flying and drop them strategically onto the battlefield.
• Supernatural Durability: Her stone-like nature allows her to endure situations that would be difficult for an ordinary person.
  Her playstyle focuses on supporting teammates while disrupting the opposing team's movements.

Ivy was originally a stone gargoyle that remained motionless until, for reasons that are not fully explained, she came to life.

Her new existence began when she witnessed an adult and a young girl being attacked. Without fully understanding the situation, she intervened to protect them and managed to scare away their attackers.

The girl, named Sophia Arroyo, asked the gargoyle for her name. Since she did not have one, Sophia decided to call her Ivy because of the vines covering her body.

The Arroyo family invited her to live with them, and Ivy began discovering the human world. She learned about people, food, family relationships, and the suffering caused by a criminal organization known as the Mendoza Syndicate.

For the next eighteen years, Ivy dedicated herself to protecting Spanish Harlem and dismantling the organization. Eventually, she succeeded in defeating it without having to kill all its members.

However, after achieving the goal that had guided most of her existence, Ivy faced a new question: what should she do next? For the first time, she began exploring the world beyond her neighborhood and looking for a different job and purpose.

Ivy is kind, optimistic, loyal, and protective. She cares deeply about people and believes that helping others is a personal responsibility. Despite her intimidating appearance, she usually behaves in a friendly and cheerful way.

She has a strong sense of justice and does not seek recognition for her actions. She dislikes being called the savior of Spanish Harlem because she believes she was simply doing what was right.

Although she has a good heart, Ivy is not entirely peaceful. She enjoys confronting criminals and can become impatient when people are treated unfairly. However, she prefers fighting crime without killing her enemies.

She also has a sensitive side and appreciates affection and comfort when she feels sad. She is curious, enjoys observing people, taking care of plants, and flying around New York City.

Ivy is a small, slender, living gargoyle with a mixture of human and reptilian features. She has beige-colored skin, large greenish-yellow eyes with vertical pupils, pointed ears, small horns, and a distinctive smile with two prominent lower teeth. Her hair is short and black, with strands falling along the sides of her face.

She has a slightly hunched posture, large wings that allow her to fly, and a long tail ending in small stone spikes. Her hands have four fingers, and her feet resemble those of a reptile.

Ivy wears burgundy trousers with suspenders and an old-fashioned cap adapted to fit her horns. She also has a nose ring, stone ornaments on her limbs, and vines covering her hands and arms. The Roman numeral IV is carved into her back.

Ivy is a living gargoyle who discovered her purpose by protecting a family that eventually became her home. Her kind personality, loyalty, and strong sense of justice contrast with her supernatural appearance and her ability to fight criminals.

After spending eighteen years fighting the Mendoza Syndicate, she succeeded in freeing Spanish Harlem from its influence and began searching for a new direction in life. She is now trying to discover how to live beyond her role as a vigilante, help the family she loves, and experience everything she missed while dedicating her life to protecting others.

At her core, Ivy is a kind-hearted protector who, after fulfilling her mission, must learn how to build a life of her own.
