I love you, but I call em like I see 'em :P

I don't think you're wrong. At all. And I love how you literally wrote a massive thing to talk about why we have such different views on her! I can definately see Ivy potentially being one of the favorites from Frozen? Maybe, I'm not sure there were never very many readers in the first place so it's fairly hard to tell. My biggest concern is that she's too much like Heather, but we shall see.

She definately had a cute little redemption arc in Frozen. She was one of the characters that really grew and changed during that season. When I say she doesn't have character, I mean it's hard for me to see Ivy as an unique character. She shares a number of traits with Heather.

I never really realized just how ~gwen~ like Ivy was in the latter half of the season until you mentioned Trent. Now I don't know how I feel about her rofl. She starts out as Heather but ends as Gwen. That's.... something. i definately think Ivy started to become her own person towards the end of Frozen. I'm just remembering writing Blossoming, and having no clue what to do with Ivy. her gal pals, Rosalie and Lexi were both early boots so she kinda faded. She acted as Damien's mentor, which could still work I suppose.

But yes, ivy is still slightly thorny-tongued. She's not just going to sit back and hide her opinion. i love your description of her in contrast to Dania/Rosalie. She really does want to fit in, she's just not the very best at it. I 100% think most of the Frozen cast isn't anti Ivy anymore. They're not all for her, like I don't suspect they'll go to out to celebrate a parade in her honor or anything, but definately not as much hate as before. I can already see a lot of strong females potentially being in Eclipse, so it would be very interesting to see the leadership dynamic.

I also can't recall who gave Ivy her chance at first... it was either Dania or Rosalie rofl. It's been SO LONG! But yes, 100% I see Ivy as being loyal to the pair, and wanting to help them both out, and hopefully not spreading herself too thin.

I'd love to see some more Damien/Ivy tbh. They definately have some history, so it'd be nice to explore the pair.

I WOULD LOVE to see jade/ivy 2.0. Where do they go now? Jade is clearly... recovering, but she also just broke Britt's heart... Again. (Boy needs to learn to stop trying.) ivy is still seeking her own redemption, but so is Jade. And they don't really line up well together.

Ivy/Mitchel. WHO KNOWS. i never really think of these two. Which is really ironic since by the time Eclipse would start... Well they would be the only couple left from Frozen? A season where everyone but 2? Really were in a relationship. I guess we'll explore that more when I do Mitchel's write up and if people think he's a good fit for the story.

Lowkey I'm shipping Vishal/Ivy. Maybe not as lovers, but as rivals who are lowkey friends. They were both kinda villany in Frozen, and I can see them both wanting to make up for that. But they're both so competitive, and have history that it would be <3

Ok.... so you might be right about Ivy. Actually just reading your comment gave me a really fun idea for Screaming Sororities.... That's not spelt right but zzz. This is literally why I wanted to make this blog. To generate ideas. When it comes to Tides, there were a handful of fierce/strong females.... Trixie, Cherry for example, likewise in Frozen (Rosalie/Ivy/Jade) if the whole lot of them are in Eclipse.... Well who takes on the leader role?
