blindingtrustIvy Weaver
Age: 22
Height: 5 feet 6 inches
Weght: 149lbs
Job: Law Student
Apperances: A dark haired and dark eyed young woman. She tends to wear sunglasses and is often seen leaning on what is called a white stick. She likes wearing jackets. Some are dark. One or two of them are a bright viberant blue. She other wise tends to dress in nuteral tones of black of brown, sometimes mixing green into her wardrobe. She almost ALWAYS wears a dark pair of sunglasses to hide any scarring near her eyes from the accident that caused her to go blind. Having them removed by someone is humiliating for Ivy.
Personality: She is a pretty friendly person. She trusts most people she meets and tries to be very honest with them. It's in the hope that they do the same with her. She tries to not be judgemental. And will often wait until all facts are preseted to her before she fully comits to anything. She tends to be very formal with her way of speaking to people. It isn't due to being snobby, she just likes to be very persise with her words feeling that they are very important. But when angry she will get short with how she expresses herself. When it comes to her self-confidence? She doesn't think very highly of herself as a whole except when it coes to things she knows. She is aware that she has a nice physical apperance but seeing as she can't "see" it due to her being blind. It doesn't matter as much to her anyways. She is very independent by nature and seems to loathe anyone trying to take command of her life. Though she will let people help her when she knows she cannot take care of herself.
Likes: Swiming, shopping, talking with others, her attemps at independence
Dislikes: Bad questions, loud noises, ignorance
Other Updated: She has slowly developed a heightened awareness of her surroundings. Within a forty foot radius she is fully aware of what's going on.
History: Ivy was born like any other girl. Her parents lived in Metroplis at the time. Her father worked at STAR labs as a technician and her mother worked in a department store. It was a very happy life for her. She enjoyed living in the city with her parents who were very loving towards her.
When she was fifteen she was at the labs with her father one day. They had been talking just outside a lab there was an explosion. And due to the blast radius her father was fine. But she wasn't. There was damage to both retinas and the occular lobe in her brain which is the center in the brain for how images seen are translated into sight. There had also been damage in the nerve endings behind her eyes. This left her completely blinded despite the labs best efforts. She opted to not have any replacement surgery that was available at the time for cybernetic implants. To her it would have been too much despite the fact it was quite possible to have them look quite realistic.
Instead she learned to cope with being blind. But her parents unknowingly made her feel less confident about herself. Mostly due to the fact that her mother over compensated for her daughters blindness and her father tended to act disappointed in her. She reacted poorly to this by trying very hard to improve herself. She just wanted to be better at everything. To show that she could do it. Sometimes she failed due to not being able to physically see things. She suffered in classes in which seeing would be an asset, such as biology and chemistry. This was mostly due to the fact labs were nearly impossible for her to join in on and the alternatives that were provided bored her to tears. But she did graduate high school. As a mostly average student but it wasn't so bad. She was proud of herself.
Ivy was enrolled in Gotham University. She enjoyed it and has taken residence in the city. Yes it is a crime-filled city but she liked the fact that living here has given her some Independence from her family. Though she does have an elderly Uncle who checked in on her and keeps jokingly threatening to make her live in his guest room. He does seem to care for her so Ivy doesn't mind the joking. But things changed. Her Uncle died when she was 21 and left her most of his assets. Around the same time she threw herself into her studies more . She also discovered that due to an incident in which she was poisoned she had a heart condition. It was fixed an she recovered. After she completed her double bachelors’ degrees in pre-law and criminal psychology she went on to law school. She is still currently enrolled in Law school currently and is in her first year there.
