Ivory can be a bit intimidating (Or kinky if that’s your thing.) She has pale skin, kind of a given when you spend most of your time playing video games. She has her signature black hair with the tips/bottom portion usually dyed a colorful color. From purple to red to orange to blue, but mostly green. Hence her YT handle. She has blue-green eyes framed by decently long lashes and strong angular brows. Her overall facial structure is pretty soft, a bit of a contrast to the rest of her.
She is 5’7, with a slim figure and light curves. Her style is typically described as alternative. Not emo or goth, alternative. With henley shirts, high-waisted black skirts, and combat boots being a part of her regular wardrobe. She never wears bright colors, instead going for a more neutral or muted palette with dark greens, dark red, and blacks.
She has a nose ring on her left nostril, and an eyebrow piercing on her left eyebrow. She has a small infinity symbol tattoo on her right inner wrist.
Habits//Quirks//Oddities:
She has this nasty habit of biting her nails and lips when around a lot of people, a habit she's had since was young. The only way to really tell that she's uncomfortable. She is also allergic to blueberries, and I mean, like, needs to get rushed to the emergency room and might die, allergic. Also, on a less serious note, when lying, she starts cracking her fingers or playing with them.

Ivory is... an interesting character. When you think of a YouTuber, specifically those that vlog, you think of loud and very energetic personalities. However, that is 100% not Ivory. She is a very laid-back person usually, pretty uncaring seeming and overall... cool. When playing video games, she usually makes little side comments and jokes, talking with the audience as if they’re sitting right next to her, like a friend. Although, when she rages, it is a sight to behold~
She is a very intelligent person, explaining concepts of a game to viewers and throws little jabs at other creators and other people in good fun, proving that she isn’t afraid to speak her mind and give her opinions. If anything, the video game takes a back seat to random rambles about everything from politics to changes on the YouTube platform.
This proves that she is a very interesting individual who many are interested in. She just isn’t really content around other people, only feeling relaxed when speaking to thousands of people through a camera.
History:
Ivory grew up in New Jersey, to a loving father and doting mother. Her father was the typical man’s man. Almost 7 feet tall with biceps the size of her head, it was almost comedic seeing her 5’1 mother standing beside him. But, all jokes aside, she was raised as an only child by the couple and lived a rather nice life. No tragic backstory or anything like that.
In school, she was the typical quiet girl in the corner, head either stuffed in a book or on her DS when she should’ve been listening to her teacher. It wasn’t until she was 16 that she started YouTube, first just doing reviews of video games and rambling on about them, expecting no one to watch. But, by the time she was 18, she had a shitty tripod set up in her bedroom and some even crappier recording software for her computer to record her screen and was making gameplay videos. Even though she didn’t have the best quality mike or the best 720 p footage, her blunt honesty and sarcasm made her a breath of fresh air in the gaming community that was saturated with big personalities.
And Ivory was actually happy for once. All throughout her school years, she’d been depressed. Not because she was bullied or had a bad home life or anything, she even had a couple of really good friends (Friends she would even collaborate with on videos) that she could count on. It was just how she was for as long as she could remember. And she found herself actually feeling truly happy when she was tucked away in her room talking to a camera and joking about the glitches in a beta test of a game.
Barely managing to graduate (Due to lack of interest, if anything.), Ivory announced to her parents that she wasn’t going to college and was going to do YouTube full time. And even though her parents tried to be supportive, she could tell that her mother was a bit disappointed and that her father was worried. But, she couldn’t let this go. She felt... something, while on YouTube. And she didn’t think she could go without it.
So, when she was 21, that was when her channel really took off. After doing a review for a small little indie title that went viral, the rush of subscribers and views suddenly thrust her into the limelight. And, 3 years later, she’s still not used to being recognized in public, even though, compared to other channels, she’s really not all that big. But, a loyal fanbase can get you far, as well as having good content that Ivory does her best to switch up so that it doesn't get boring. With her normal gaming videos, she also adds in weekly vlogs (Basically she’ll vlog throughout a week and then edit it all together to post a big compilation video. Good watch time.) and the odd discussion over important topics in both the gaming community and YouTube as a whole.
When she got the invitation to come on this cruise, she was pretty much instantly going to say no. BUT, after putting up a poll on her Instagram story, she unfortunately was told to go by a vast majority. Kicking herself in the leg for even asking and therefore being basically contract-bound to go, she called in her ‘okay, I’ll be there’. She’s not expecting much out of this BUT, she admits that she’s always wanted to go on a cruise.
