=====================================================================
I) Ivy
=====================================================================
Ivy is by far the most complex and most powerful character in the game, in
that she can do the most damage and hit from anywhere and still do well. Getting
to be good at using Ivy can be extremely difficult, but very rewarding if
you can.

--------------------------------------------------------------
A) Character Profile
--------------------------------------------------------------

Age: 32
Birthplace: British Empire/London
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 128 lbs
Birth Date: December 10
Blood Type: Unknown (but they know her weight?)
Weapon: Snake Sword
Weapon Name: Valentine (Ivy Blade)
Discipline: Unrelated Link

Family:
Adoptive parents - deceased
Father - Cervantes
Mother - deceased

Over the course of her journey to remove all traces of
Soul Edge from the world, Ivy's sword began to change.
She decided to return to Valentine Mansion to
investigate the cause. After returning to the Valentine
mansion, among the books she brought back for
research she found a particular volume that contained
detailed descriptions regarding the nature and origin
of the cursed sword. As she deciphered the ancient
text, she soon found an account of the spirit sword,
Soul Calibur -- a sword that restrained the power of the
evil sword and lent its power to fight against it.

Just as she deciphered the text, a man with a large
scythe appeared before her (Zasalamel).

"Who are you?" she demanded.

"Did you read the book?" he quietly asked.

In the silence that followed, the two of them found the
answer to their respective questions. Ivy drew her
sword and the white-robed man produced a gigantic
scythe.

Fierce combat ensued, but Ivy had to expend more
mental effort than usual to make her sword obey her
will. Her moment of hesitation left a slight opening in
her defense, and she stumbled from the force of a
heavy blow. The man with the scythe slowly picked up
the book about the swords.

"This is a mistake from my past. The world no longer
needs this..." As he spoke quietly, crimson flames
engulfed the book in his hand. He dropped the burning
book onto the floor and turned to leave.

"If you wish to learn everything about the cursed
sword and the spirit sword, then you should follow the
knight you know well..."

Ivy made up her mind. She was going to find the truth.
If Soul Calibur did in fact exist, she would obtain it
for herself!

II) Tales of Souls
=====================================================================
This section shows you the paths and outcomes of Ivy's Tales of Souls
thing in the game. You may encounter an abnormal outcome just out of the blue
in Ivy's storyline, because there's some hidden condition like ringing out
or not ringing out your opponent or whatnot. This irregularity occurs when
fighting Taki and I think Xianghua.
