She is a friend, sparring partner, and girlfriend to Sprig Plantar, and the daughter of Felicia Sundew.
Ivy bears an innocent appearance and is significantly smaller than Sprig. Her skin is yellow with a pale patch under her mouth and dark spots on her cheeks and her two visible tufts of hair are orange. Ivy is seen to have a large mass of wild hair that embarrasses her, though Sprig is very fond of it. She wears a turquoise hat with ragged patches, frayed overalls, and light green farming clothes. As in Locust Pocus, she seems to be a loud energetic character similar to Sprig, which may be the cause of his feelings.
In “Dating Season”, Ivy likes to “ambush” Sprig a lot and is still very loud and energetic. She is stated to be his sparring partner and seems to be very amiable towards new people she meets. In “Anne of the Year”, it was revealed that she has mutual feelings for Sprig as he does for her. In “Return to Wartwood”, Ivy accepts the fact that she didn’t get a shell from Newtopia and in return, Sprig would go on a date with her. In “Ivy on the Run”, Ivy becomes upset and fed up with her mother’s rules and tea lessons and takes Sprig in a plan to leave Wartwood to explore beyond the valley. The plan is foiled when Felicia gets to them. Ivy expresses her feelings to her mom and that she is sick of doing what her mom asks, causing Felicia to challenge her to Martial Arts.
