IC Info

Name: Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, aka Poison Ivy
Canon: DC Comics (Pre-New 52)
Age: 30s
Appearance: See here.

The most notable feature of Poison Ivy is her green skin, present following her transformation into the human/plant hybrid that resulted from Dr. Woodrue's experiments. She has retained her long red hair and green eyes. She stands around 5'8" with healthy physique and ample curves. She rarely sees the purpose in wearing human clothing and instead manufactures her own out of leaves and vines, often in the style of a swimsuit or lingerie.

Canon Point: After Gotham City Sirens #26
Background: See here. For History, please refer specifically to the Post-Crisis section.

Personality: Pamela Isley has always been a brilliant mind and a skilled botanist and biochemist, who even before her transformation into a deadly ecoterrorist, has always held an intense fondness for plants. In moments where she is tempted into being less serious, her humor is dry and leans towards sarcasm.

Since her rebirth as the deadly Poison Ivy, Pamela has done everything in her power to try to deny what humanity she has left. The part of her that has been hurt, betrayed, and abused is precisely the part of her that she still perceives as weak. She is emotionally walled off to her more tender emotions and prefers to isolate herself whenever possible amongst her plants. She believes it makes her less vulnerable. This makes her come off as rather cold.

It is in her connection to the Green that she now feels strength. Her confidence has bloomed into an almost haughty egotism. She considers herself to be an avatar of Mother Nature herself, and believes it her solemn duty to protect plantlife and the environment at all costs. She has vowed vengeance on mankind for its mistreatment of both herself and the planet. It's an obssession that fuels her.

Dr. Woodrue's experiments on her have left her volatile and mentally unstable. She's now just as dangerous as her name suggests. She's turned misanthropic, downright socipathic. Almost all human life is expendable in order to meet her goals. She's extremely manipulative and deceitful, and her first weapon of choice is seduction. She sees no harm in using her enhanced pheromones to get men and women to do her bidding. She relishes her role as seductress, no longer the one being preyed upon by others.

There are only a select few people that escape Ivy's harsh judgments and actually touch on her kinder human emotions. The ones she tries so hard to deny. No matter what she'll ever admit to the contrary, she has a soft spot towards victimized women and vulnerable children. She still empathizes with them and will actually do what she can to protect them. Along with her (albeit extreme) concern for the environment, it is one of her genuinely redeeming qualities.

Weaknesses/Temptations: Honestly, Ivy will have a harder time getting on the path to redemption than staying on at this point. She will be easily swayed by opportunities to reconnect with plant life, obtaining greener accomodations and access to a greenhouse/garden/laboratory. She would be easily drawn towards carving out her own niche of Hell for herself if only for the chance to repopulate it with plant life as she sees fit.
