Much has changed for her in every game, but in SC6, she has now become a Ranged Keep out Zone character. Historically, Ivy has always been a precision and high execution character with a super intimidating move list, comprising of several stances, 2 crazy looking Command Grab inputs, and a fiercely difficult Just Frame. Ivy was also featured alongside Siegfried in a manga adaptation of Soulcalibur Legends printed in the Japanese shōnen Kerokero Ace the manga, written in a humorous tone, used a running gag of Siegfried’s annoyance that Ivy was significantly taller than he was. In addition, the character has been used to demonstrate the graphical features of both Soulcalibur IV and its followup title, Broken Destiny in a tech demo and promotional flyer respectively. She is also visible on the white Xbox 360 Soulcalibur IV arcade joystick alongside Hilde and Siegfried, and the box art for Korean distributions of the lilac-colored PSP. She has also appeared on the cover on every Sony-based console game in the series, as well as Soulcalibur Legends for the Nintendo Wii. Ivy was featured amongst other characters for Soulcalibur II’s arcade flyer, and has been featured in other printed advertisements for games in the series. This is further explored when Ivy doesn’t kill for pleasure only those deserving such punishment and judgment.

Overall, she is a neutrally-aligned character. Beneath her cold demeanor is a heart that wants freedom from a cursed life that will do whatever it takes to be free. When facing her opponents, she spites them with dramatic words and she takes advantage of her unique weapon, which she invented. She only wanted to acquire Soul Calibur by any means to sever her bond with Soul Edge. Ivy is considered evil by many due to her Machiavellian philosophy and her appearance. Since her first appearance, she has become one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in the franchise, mainly due to her snake sword, big breasts, revealing clothing, and silver hair. She appears in every game since Soulcalibur. Isabella “Ivy” Valentine (Japanese: イザベラ・バレンタイン – アイヴィー, Izabera Barentain – Aivī) is a character in the Soul series of fighting games.
