Bio: Ivy was the single daughter of Elizabeth and James Ellenheart, both of which were very involved in American politics. James was a medium ranking CIA agent. He was almost always away at work, and so was Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a one of the USA's Foreign adviser's. For this reason she was often off traveling, and seldom had time to spend with her daughter.

Elizabeth and James loved their daughter, and each other, but they had many responsibilities; so Ivy found herself being raised by a stay at home Nannie by the name of Anne. Ivy loved Anne, and would listen intently as she told stories of her past career as a nurse in the military. As it were, the idea of recruiting into the military was implanted in her at an early age. She followed the dream of being a nurse just like her aunty Anne, this was Ivy's name for her, all the way through her young life. She joined many programs during her basic schooling that allowed her to graduate with honors and immediately be accepted into the college of her choice. She chose Walden university, and soon found herself diving head first into her life long dream.

During her final year of highschool, her father retired, and Anne became much less needed then previous. Ivy kept in touch however, and they would write each other periodic letters. Ivy and Anne both loved to receive these letters, and Ivy soon learned that Anne had a granddaughter named Marrianne, or Marrie for short. 

Ivy was grief stricken when she heard of Anne's a year later. She was even more distraught when she discovered that Marrie had no living parents, and Anne had been taking care of her up until this time. The child was only two, and Ivy could not let it enter the system. After many long arguments, she finally convinced her father to take the child in. Marrie was an angel, and a blessing to their home. Anne left home to go to military college, and she chose to bring Marrie with her. The child was three and Ivy was nineteen. 

The first year was hell, but it improved as time went on. Ivy told Marrie that she was her older sister, and Marrie stuck to her like glue. Marrie was nine when it all began, and Ivy was just finishing her final years of training..

When Ivy's college discovered that Marrie's blood type was AB+, she was recommended for the CDC program. (will explain more about why in Marrie's bio) Ivy immediately accepted, wishing only for Marrie to be safe from what was coming. The separation was hard on both of them, but Ivy knew it wasn't permanent, and that it was for the best. Ivy managed to use her limited military connections to obtain her rifle, and the location of the CDC facility.

For the past 6 months she has been camped out in a small gas station that is near the facility. The Winter weather makes survival hard enough as it is, coupled with the zombies and her lack of real resources, Ivy is growing desperate. Soon she may have to do something reckless..

Other: Ivy has given the different types of undead certain 'nicknames'. Her military training has helped her identify the different classes. This has proven paramount to her survival these past months.

RA1: Geeks (slow moving, awkward, generally easy to avoid)

RA2: Goths (faster moving, still awkward, some recognizable intelligence (not really))

RA3: Jocks (Fast, strong, still lacking in major intelligence, highly dangerous when angry)

RA4: Plastics (Fast, Cunning, not to be crossed, hostile to everything but themselves)

Note: Ivy's gas station is the one that will be used as the meeting place for all us players (cleared by Az). It has been turned into a bunker of sorts over the past months. Ivy will be flying solo for quite a while in the beginning. I do, however have plans for a male npc to be with her for a couple posts (he has been bitten and is good with tech, ohno!) If any of yall wanna play him I would be down to let ya. Otherwise I will be managing him as well ( *Sad face* if the latter happens).
