Ivy had big plans growing up. Mama Winters told her she could be anything if she put her mind to it. So Ivy did her best. She went to college, did well enough despite her insatiable curiosity pushing her to change majors three times,  and got that coveted degree. That's when everything fell apart. Mama Winters died both suddenly and unexpectedly, the house was seized by the bank, and her magical degree came with a lifetime supply of crippling debt.  
She found solace in martial arts, a shared passion she and her mother practiced daily. Each kata made her feel closer to Mama Winters, and her body became a weapon. But solace doesn’t pay the bills, and her life continued to spiral out of control.


She found solace in martial arts, something she and her mother used to practice daily together. Each kata made her feel closer to her departed mother, and her body became a weapon. But you can't eat solace, and things continued to slip out of control.
After months of struggling and sinking deeper into debt, Ivy’s breaking point came when she found a wallet stuffed with cash. She could’ve returned it—the license was there, and it would’ve been the right thing to do. But her water was about to be shut off, and, to her shame, she didn’t return it. That month, for the first time in a long time, she ate something other than ramen noodles and managed to pay most of her bills. Crime, it seemed, did pay, and Ivy decided it was time to take what she felt life owed her.


After struggling for months and falling further into debt, the day came when Ivy found a wallet stuffed with bills. She could have returned it to its rightful owner, the license was there and everything. But, her water was about to be shut off and, to her shame, she didn't return it. That month she ate something other than ramen noodles and her bills were, mostly, paid. Crime did pay, it seemed, and it was time that Ivy Winters got her due.  
The internet became her teacher. Ivy learned to pick pockets, bypass locks, choose likely targets, and find buyers for stolen goods. Always physically gifted despite her small stature, she leaned into her skills, specializing in breaking in undetected. For a while, things were looking up.


The internet was an excellent teacher. Ivy learned to pick pockets, bypass locks, pick likely targets, and even who to sell her stolen bounty to. Always physically gifted despite her petite frame, Ivy leaned into her gifts and specialized in breaking in while remaining unseen. Things were looking up.
That is, until her last job went spectacularly wrong. Bad intel turned what should’ve been a simple “retrieval” into a catastrophic mess. The country home she targeted belonged to some guy named Carpenter, and his security system was like nothing she’d ever encountered. She bypassed most of it before being unceremoniously tased into unconsciousness. While she sat in lockup, Ivy missed the most pivotal moment in human history: the aliens had attacked.


That is until her last score turned spectacularly bad. Bad intel turned what should have been a simple "retrieval" into a catastrophic mess. The country home was owned by some guy named Carpenter, and he had security Ivy had never even heard of. While waiting in lockup for who she then knew was Colonel Conor Carpenter to throw the book at her, she missed the most pivotal moment in human history. Aliens had attacked the Earth.
Colonel Conor Carpenter—her intended victim—must have seen something in her, because instead of throwing the book at her, he offered her a choice. She could use her skills to aid humanity, or she could spend the rest of her days rotting behind bars.


Ivy must have made a good showing in Carpenter's eye, having bypassed most of the security before being unceremoniously tased into unconsciousness, because rather than use his pull to make sure she rotted for the rest of her days he gave her an opportunity. Use her skills to aid mankind and all was forgiven.  
The alternative was unthinkable. Ivy gladly signed on the dotted line and threw herself into the most rigorous and torturous training she could imagine. Eight months passed in a blur of blood, sweat, and tears before her TO begrudgingly signed off on her readiness. She was determined to repay Carpenter’s kindness—and to fight for a world where no one else would have to make the same desperate choices she had.


The alternative was unthinkable. She gladly signed on the dotted line and threw herself into the most rigorous and torturous training she had ever imagined. Eight months passed in a blur, and her TO gave her his begrudging approval. She was ready to repay Carpenter's kindness with literal blood, sweat, and tears.
==Personal Motivations==
*Repay Captain Carpenter's kindness.
*Defend Earth and all of Humanity from the alien menace.
*Help track down and eliminate EXALT.
*Deal with her newfound trauma over killing her fellow humans.

Bio[edit]

Ivy had big plans growing up. Mama Winters always told her she could be anything if she put her mind to it, and Ivy believed her. She did her best—went to college, worked hard despite her insatiable curiosity leading her to change majors three times, and eventually earned that coveted degree. That’s when everything fell apart. Mama Winters died suddenly and unexpectedly, the house was seized by the bank, and Ivy's shiny new degree came with a lifetime supply of crippling debt.

She found solace in martial arts, a shared passion she and her mother practiced daily. Each kata made her feel closer to Mama Winters, and her body became a weapon. But solace doesn’t pay the bills, and her life continued to spiral out of control.

After months of struggling and sinking deeper into debt, Ivy’s breaking point came when she found a wallet stuffed with cash. She could’ve returned it—the license was there, and it would’ve been the right thing to do. But her water was about to be shut off, and, to her shame, she didn’t return it. That month, for the first time in a long time, she ate something other than ramen noodles and managed to pay most of her bills. Crime, it seemed, did pay, and Ivy decided it was time to take what she felt life owed her.

The internet became her teacher. Ivy learned to pick pockets, bypass locks, choose likely targets, and find buyers for stolen goods. Always physically gifted despite her small stature, she leaned into her skills, specializing in breaking in undetected. For a while, things were looking up.

That is, until her last job went spectacularly wrong. Bad intel turned what should’ve been a simple “retrieval” into a catastrophic mess.

She bypassed most of it before being unceremoniously tased into unconsciousness. While she sat in lockup, Ivy missed the most pivotal moment in human history: the aliens had attacked.

Colonel Conor Carpenter—her intended victim—must have seen something in her, because instead of throwing the book at her, he offered her a choice. She could use her skills to aid humanity, or she could spend the rest of her days rotting behind bars.

She was determined to repay Carpenter’s kindness—and to fight for a world where no one else would have to make the same desperate choices she had.

Personal Motivations[edit]

  • Repay Captain Carpenter's kindness.
  • Defend Earth and all of Humanity from the alien menace.
  • Help track down and eliminate EXALT.
  • Deal with her newfound trauma over killing her fellow humans.
