Ivylin was born into a lower class family of Rohan, her mother raped by a unknown Gondorian, she raised the child alone. Yet, Ivylin was always a trouble maker, often getting herself into things she could not handle, she blames her mothers death on this. Her mother died when Ivylin was only twelve, over a rivalry with another family, their food was poisoned, Ivylin now has a distinct hatred for most food, especially that given be strangers.

After this she joined the Blackblossom family, under the condition that she would serve the family heir, Antsul, as his slave, though, if anyone ever asked, she is merely his servant, she finds slave far too degrading.

The two often adventured outside the walls of their village, and as time grew on and the summers passed they got more and more adventurous until eventually, the plains of Rohan could not hold their courageous spirit. So Antsul decided to head up North, Ivylin following dutifully in his footsteps, forever there to please him.

Ivylin lives at Asdo's camp, becuase she has never felt 'right' living under a roof, and so, she prefers tents much more. Her favorite meal is honey, just plain honey, she will rarely eat food, even when others ask and it's clear she is close to passing out, she will need to be forced to eat food.

Also, probably the thing which she keeps hidden the most, is that she cannot read, nor write, and has never even tried to learn.
