Physical Description: Ivy is short, even for her age, standing at a meagre 4'4 (hopefully a growth spurt is in her future). She has blonde hair, inherited from her mother, and stormy grey eyes that match her father's. If you notice her in the halls, you'll usually see a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

Biography: Ivy was born in the early hours of March 17th, 2009. She is the youngest of three, having an older sister, Rowan, and an older brother, Oliver. Her parents, Rose and Tom Fletcher, own a flower shop named 'Rosie's', in which Ivy spent most of her childhood. When she wasn't bothering her older siblings, she could usually be found giggling underneath a table or causing mayhem in the garden in the back. As she got older, she helped more and more around the shop, especially after Rowan left to go to London for university. Because of this, Ivy grew closer to Oliver, who was only three years older than her, whereas Rowan was ten years older than the youngest Fletcher (she had been a surprise for Rose and Tom in high school). Ivy loved her parents and siblings dearly, and loved the shop nearly as much, but even as a young child, she felt she was destined for something more exciting. She was proven right on her 11th birthday.

First Instance of Magic: Ivy's first instance of magic was when she was 6 years old. She was playing in the garden behind the shop; giving the flowers fake names, building a dirt castle with her mother's trowel, the usual children things. She spent what felt like an eternity building herself a beautiful dirt castle, only for it to be destroyed by Rowan. Rowan came to the back to see what her little sister was up to, and quickly discovered a very dirty six-year-old smiling proudly at a tall lump of dirt. Rowan had older-sister-syndrome, meaning she liked to boss her siblings around and essentially be their second mother (A/N I am an older sister and can confirm I also have this illness hehe). Rowan chastised Ivy, calling her childish and telling her she only made messes and never helped out. Rowan kicked the dirt castle and knocked it over, which sent Ivy into hysterics. Tears streamed down her face as she screamed at her older sister for destroying the castle she'd worked so hard for. Unbeknownst to Ivy, her anger had started to make the plants around her grow from seeds to full-grown flowers. Not only that, the flowers were becoming bigger than average flowers. Rowan nearly fainted at the sight.
Luckily, their mother came to save the day, although she did almost have a heart attack when she saw the roses she'd planted this morning were almost as tall as she was. She was more concerned about Ivy's tears, however, and as soon as she'd picked up her youngest daughter (and gave her oldest a look that meant 'we will talk about this later), the flowers stopped growing. When Ivy received her letter years later, her mother was more relieved than surprised. She was sure that she'd started seeing things, and that the whole family would have to be checked into a psychiatric facility.
