Ivy is a antagonistic character in Minecraft Diaries who was once a member of the Jury of Nine, and is now working for the King of Tu'la, and is known by the name "Ivy the Venom Scythe".

Biography
Ivy appears in Minecraft Diaries as "Ivy the Venom Scythe". Though she was never seen in Season One, during that time period she had been working for Zane in the Jury of Nine, but now, she works as an agent for the King of Tu'la, and is in the Ru'aun Region on behalf of the King to perform his requests.

In Episode 83, "Ivy and The Wolf", she and Gavin interrupted Garroth and Aphmau talking. She began to taunt Aphmau with comments alluding to the recent death of Aphmau's good friend Aaron, and out of anger, Aphmau attacked her in her Irene form. Ivy managed to stop her attack by blocking, and thus preventing, the assault with her sword. She stated that she wanted Aphmau so that she could get the relic that is absorbed into Aphmau's being out of her so that she could have it.

Vylad interrupted the confrontation when Gavin knocked Garroth unconscious with his sword, and upon realising that he was a Shadow Knight, Ivy and Gavin decided to retreat.

Appearance
Ivy has wavy bubblegum pink hair that meets her waist, and has a fringe that almost covers her right eye. She has fairly pale skin and light turquoise colored eyes framed by prominent black eyelashes.

She wears the typical armour of a member of the Jury of Nine, but it is coloured pink.

Personality
Ivy is an intimidating, harsh young woman who radiates a hostile atmosphere, who likes to mock and taunt others with the intention of irritating them. It seems that she has no sense of loyalty, as she will easily give up on her afflictions for another if she thinks it will benefit her own selfish needs. In fact, Katelyn mentions in in Episode 80 that the only reason Ivy joined the Jury of Nine in the first place was so that she could be above the law and abuse her power and authority over others, but after growing bored of waiting for her boss, Zane, to return during the fifteen year time skip between Season One and Season Two, she became an agent for the King of Tu'la instead, stating in Episode 80 that she doesn't care who she works for as long as she continues to do "what she loves". Though she does not state what she means by this, it is safe to assume that is referring to her apparent hobby of tormenting and harming the innocent.

Ivy finds amusement in tormenting others or watching arguments, to see the reactions. She appears to have no sense of empathy or sympathy, being perfectly capable of laughing at a person who has experienced the death of a loved one.

She has showed that she loved to anger Katelyn. In one episode she angers Katelyn and they get in a fight.

Other Series
Ivy appears in the prequel series to MyStreet: Phoenix Drop High as a sophomore student and "Queen Bee" who leads a clique of two other girls, presumably other sophomores, called Lily and Alex.

Trivia

 * Ivy is a name of English origin, and means "Faithfulness". The name is derived from the word ivy, a common nickname for a leafy plant called hedera. A well known subspecies of the plant, toxicodendron radicans is commonly referred to as "poison ivy", because of its ability to cause an itching, irritating and sometimes painful rash in most people that touch the plant. This may be a reference to Ivy's title: Ivy the Venom Scythe, since venom is a type of poison.
 * A scythe is traditionally an agricultural tool used for cutting or mowing plants and crops, and is built of a wooden shaft (some modern versions have the shaft made of metal or plastic) with a stone or metal blade on one end. In folklore, the scythe is used by Grim Reapers to penetrate the soul of a person who is either already dead or destined to die soon and the Reaper then collects the soul.
 * Venom is a poisonous substance usually stored inside the mouths of animals like snakes, spiders and scorpions which is then injected into their prey by either biting or stinging their victim. However, metaphorically, venom can also be an adjective to describe hostility and bitterness in someone's tone or actions.
 * Ivy, along with Alex and Teony, are the first characters to have appeared in the MyStreet storyline without a counterpart in the Minecraft Diaries plot.
 * However, Ivy was then introduced as an antagonist in Episode 80 of Season Two (titled "The Refugees Plight"). Alex and Teony are yet to be given counterparts.
 * It appears that Ivy can jump very high, being able to jump out of a large tree to confront Aphmau and Katelyn, and then jump back into the tree when leaving. Later, Katelyn states that Ivy was using something, perhaps a consumable substance or a form of magicks, in order to make her stronger, explaining how she defeated Katelyn in a sword fight. However, whether this is also the explanation to her exceptional jumping skills is not clear.
 * In Phoenix Drop High, Ivy is portrayed as a sophomore student, meaning she is a year older than Aphmau - whether this also applies to her Minecraft Diaries counterpart in unclear.
