Ivorye "Ivy" Lymara is a Half-Elf born to a Moon Elf father, Aeric, and a Human mother, Tamira. She has the unique golden-flecked blue eyes and light, bluish complexion of her father and the bright-red hair and gentle, freckle-prone face of her mother. She spent the first several years of her childhood in a remote cabin surrounded by woods in Deepingdale. Her family worshipped Selûne regularly at a simple shrine in the Dalelands. 

Her father, Aeric Lymara, was a Moon Knight (a Disciple and Warrior Priest of Selûne) who trained at the House of the Moon in Waterdeep. During one of his trips to the Hall of Reflected Moonlight for an Order of the Blue Moon Meeting, Ivorye's mother, Tamira, was killed in a random Bugbear attack in the woods near their home. The 10 year old Ivy was traumatized from witnessing the attack, and did the only thing she could think of: the young Half-Elf, on her own, walked the instinctively familiar path to the small shrine where her family worshipped Selûne, and waited an entire day for someone to show up for help. Eventually, she was found by the priest, Fenro, who lived nearby and was well-aquainted with the Lymaras. Fenro gathered help and arranged the burial of Tamira and left a note for Aeric telling him where to find Ivy when he arrived home. Ivy stayed with Fenro for a week before Aeric came home and took his daughter back to their cabin. 

At this time Aeric arranged with Ivorye to regularly stay with Fenro at the cloister during his Blue Moon trips. It was during one of these visits, around the time Ivy was 12, that her father was unexpectedly called to serve in a war with the Shadovar. She and Fenro regularly shared letters with Aeric during this time, but just after her 15th Name Day, they received the last letter: a Farewell that her father had pre-written to have delivered upon his death, which included his Will and a request for Fenro to continue to look after Ivorye and raise her as his own. Fenro dutifully kept a promise that he never made for his friend Aeric, and selflessly adopted the red-haired girl. 

When she was 18, Ivorye expressed her desire to Fenro to train as a Moon Knight at the House of the Moon like her father. Fenro was reluctant, afraid she would lose her life in war, but was touched by the girl's desire to carry a mace for her father's legacy and the glory of Selûne. Rather than letting her go all alone, Fenro decided they would make the move as a family and so they moved to Waterdeep. Fenro served the House of the Moon as a priest while Ivy studied and trained there to become a Moon Knight. Before she was allowed to be formally admitted, she was approached by The Harpers (at the age of 25). Given a chance to prove herself and gain real-world combat experience, Ivy jumped at the chance to travel and serve the greater good as a Harper. She intends to return to Waterdeep and become a Moon Knight once she feels she has gained ample experience. She loves Fenro dearly and regularly keeps in touch with him on her less secretive missions. 

Recently, Ivorye was sent to investigate Werewolf attacks and child abductions in The Misty Forest. While investigating she and some new found allies ended up walking through a thick fog and waking in a strange place called Barovia...
