Is 5 the middle? If so, I think she should have a 4 in Intelligence. IMO she thinks with her c***.

Character card: Ivy
Ivy is as impressive as her stats. She has a body and the attitude to turn heads, and an overwhelming Lust, which seemingly drives most of her actions. Is she something to aspire to for your Lena, or a cautionary tale? She seems like the polar opposite to Louise, but funnily enough they share the same zodiac sign, Cancer.
intelligence 4 and athletics 6 or 7... With the statistic "Lust" we do not know whether it is really good. She can tease, manipulate and irritate well, but maybe she is weak in bed.

To me she has a very calculating vibe. Always thinking about what is in it for her.If we're lucky end of next month. Eva took some holiday between updates for the first time in a long time. She is being coy about a release date which tends to mean it is slightly further off.
This is exactly what I was going to say. Ivy may be incredibly sexual, but she knows exactly what she's doing, and doesn't let her lust get the better of her - she uses her body as a weapon. Look at how long she had Jeremy after her, and when she did give him a blowjob it was on her terms, and possibly for her own ends because Jeremy definitely thinks with his dick, not his head (it'll be interesting to see how Eva continues with that content). She seems like someone who genuinely enjoys playing with people for her own amusement and curiosity. I have no doubt whatsoever that Ivy could be a domme if she wanted to, or the situation called for it.Or does she fuck with her brain?
Yeah, I agree, she seems very calculating. I think her interactions with Louise often show her intelligence as well – she's able to get on her nerves exactly because she's got a high social intelligence and therefore knows exactly what to do to make Louise uncomfortable/insecure/angry. Louise isn't the thoughest competitor, though, and maybe it's not the most constructive way to use your intelligence/wits, but still.Or does she fuck with her brain?
Or how she casually destroys Louise, fools around with Holly (admittable a thankful victim) and leads Lena around like a welltrained horse to wherever she wants her to go.
I was going to use Jeremy as an example too, but I'm glad I didn't, because then it would've been my turn to say more or less the same as you a few seconds later.
I may be missing what you actually mean by "social standing" here. Ivy is an exotic dancer and nude model. Where I come from, being a successful writer is substantially higher on any social ladder.
The most interesting part in Ivy's character development will happen when she meets her match. The fact she has the highest combined stats so far shows how much the player has to build up Ian for her to notice him, which is something that has been progressing slowly in the past few chapters.Yeah, I agree, she seems very calculating.

could even have been Ivy that gave Axel Lena's new work info in exchange for something
Hah, that probably was a bad choice of words.
Yeah, that may very well be true. She's a fun character as it is, but it would be interesting to somehow drag her out of her comfort zone and see what'll happen if she doesn't feel completely in control of the situation.
That's right. Ian needs to have be at least Charismatic or do some badass things to catch Ivy's interest. So far, if Ian doesn't go out of his way to talk to her (make a joke during first meeting with Jeremy, then compliment her dance in Chapter 5, etc), then she says to Lena that Ian is not her type. If you do all those things, then Ivy can see why Lena is attracted to him (though she appreciates completely different things about him). The only exception to that, is if Ian and Axel are "buddies", and Ian confesses that he is familiar with Lena, then Ivy, while thinks it was dumb, is impressed by Ian's bravery and even gives him a kiss on the cheek. And FYI, the only people Ivy shows her sweet side around are Lena and Holly (though I don't know how much of it is an act to make Holly feel more comfortable in her company), so that gentle kiss is really special.
That's right. Remember though that Ian needs to choose the Margarita in the bar instead of the Bloody Mary or Ivy turns into a vampire in chapter 666. Holly's virgin card will grant you one sacrifice later on but only activates with the Tequila Sunrise. Although the Margarita starts with a salty rim, it is still the safest option of those three.
Not sure about this one. Ivy generally seems to struggle with empathy. Her understanding of other people comes from observation but based on some of the untimely or inappropriate things she says and how she fails to read the room suggests that she doesn't have high emotional intelligence. Her interactions with people seem to be primarily selfish and transactional. Based on what we've seen, it's rare when she considers other people's well-being above her own needs or desires. Even with Holly, she wants to turn her into her loyal apprentice and ideally turn her into a slut as well but justifies it with an intention to help her with her shyness and Holly is too naive to see Ivy as a manipulator.
