A couple of key points missed out in the wiki:
  • During a heist she meets Harley Quinn. The two go on a crime spree and end up forming a strong friendship, with Harley becoming the first human Ivy shows true care for since her transformation.

  • Black Canary seeks her out and talks her into joining the Birds of Pray. She proves to be an incredibly valuable asset to the team. Even though the team and Ivy clash verbally a lot of the time, she continues to help and protect them in their ventures. Her means of getting information prove invaluable. They end up on many ventures together before Ivy betrays them because she only has 6 months to live.

  • Ivy ends up surviving and, after manipulating Clayface into working for her, plays a integral part in the Arkham Wars, which results in the criminals of Gotham taking over for awhile, after which she begins working along side the crime family, Calabrese, headed by Selina, (Catwoman) also a longtime 'friend' of Ivy's.

  • Ivy is summoned by the Justice League to help fight a giant meat monster with some heroes, including Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing is eaten but he and Ivy communicate to help destroy the creature. Ivy rescues his skull in the hopes of rejuvenating him.

  • Inbetween these events of being an effective villain or hero, Ivy frequently visits Harley to assist in her life, like helping Harley find out who put a hit on her, putting out an ad to form a Harley Quinn fighting squad or fighting off super strong criminal sailors to name a few.
  • Ivy takes a job as a legitimate scientist in botany for awhile and uses the access to create her own plant/human hybrid children. She discovers someone stole her research and created another child and that her old mentor (who has almost killed in the past for his own experiments) is trying to kill her. Ivy raises the three girls together, trying to keep them confined but her daughters grow at an accelerated rate and eventually break free. At some typical comic book shenanigans, the girls thanks their mother and leave to form their own lives outside of Gotham.
  •  Harley and Ivy's relationship has quickly grown romantic and sexual. Recently, she went on a trip to the Bahamas with Harley where they discussed their relationship. Ivy confessed that she was too swamped down with work to move in with Harley and cement their relationship officially, but she still cared deeply for the other girl and would be willing to try later down the line.

Personality: To say that Ivy lacks empathy would be incorrect, Ivy feels a great amount of empathy, just for plant life. Humans, on the other hand, especially adult males, fail to register as little more than pawns to her. Ivy sees most people are cruel, destructive creatures and as such feels little remorse in regards to things such as homicide, especially if it helps her achieve her own goals. However, this does not mean Ivy is emotionless, in fact, she can get very passionate about things, the most obvious being plants but it's been shown that she can also get rather fired up on the subject of feminism and other things.

While not waveringly loyal, Ivy possesses an incredibly strong will to protect, derived from her inability as a child to protect her mother from her father. While this usually manifests itself by protective plant life, her protectiveness extends onto friends and teammates, even those she doesn't particularly care for. Also, Ivy's strong maternal instinct that she usually project onto her plant have begun shifting, as she has recently had a keen interest in having a daughter, either one she has made or 'found'.

Seductive and manipulative, Ivy has many ways of going about getting what she wants. Her confidence knows no bounds and while skilled at cutting remarks, Ivy also enjoys trying to bolster the confidence of those she dubs worth her time. Just because she's one of the most feared villianesses in Gotham does not mean Ivy doesn't like to occasionally kick back and relax, she has a fun side and a good sense of humour so long as she's around people she feels at least somewhat confident with, that is, she can assume what their reaction will be.

Because of this, one would not define Ivy as evil. While she has certainly committed a various amount of crimes, it's not out of any psychopathic desire to harm and kill others. Her biggest weakness would be her obsession with plants, which is not only a trigger for her to commit her most heinous acts, but is the best way to defeat her. Threatening a plant can send Ivy into a fit of rage but also demands her full attention and she will swiftly surrender to ensure the safety of the foliage she works so hard to protect.

So, yes, Ivy is still technically insane due to these tendencies, but she's certainly one of the most socially functional villains of Gotham.

Victory Road Sample: Ivy sat in the garden, once again looking over her book, her own detailed notes littered around rough sketches and plant samples. Nearby by, in a bed of dry moss and grass, two bundles of Exeggcute sit, huddled around much larger, speckled eggs that occasionally shake in the sunlight, some more than others.

Her eyes lift themselves from the pages and instead fix on the furry creature infront of her. Long brown ears twitch and a fluffy tail swishes the summer grass back and forth.

Ivy closes the book and holds it out to her side, where a thick green vine gently takes it and replaces it with a mossy covered rock. The vine's owner, a relaxed looking Ivysaur resting in the cool grass beside Ivy, carefully lays the notebook down and looks to the side where a gathering of younger Grass Pokemon watch with keen interest.

Ivy pays them no heed and instead speaks to the small brown Pokemon. "Alright little one. Are you ready?"

The little Eevee infront of her blinked up with large trusting eyes and wiggles its tail in anticipation, not entirely sure of what was happening but eager to start moving around and get things done. A quick glance at the calm Ivysaur reminds her to keep still.

"Now, I know our last attempt with the Leaf Stone was a bit of a dud. But I've checked the notes and this time I'm sure we'll get results."

The Eevee cocks her head to the side in puzzlement as Ivy slowly brings the stone closer. Again, she looks to the Ivysaur for guidance, who lifts her head and nods it gently. With another excited wiggle of her tail, the Eevee presses her nose against the rock.

The resulting light startles a few of the observing Pokemon, who dash their way across the grass to their older counterparts but still Ivy pays them no attention. She is far too busy and focused.

She places the now useless rock on the ground and reaches her hand back out to touch the waxy leaf that made up the ear of the creature before her.

"Success." She smiles.

"Leafeon!" The creature chirps back.
