ivory baumann

introduction.

ivory is the first oc i ever made, she was originally my persona, based on nyan cat (yes you heard me right). now she's part of my general ocs universe and everest is like a sibling to her. she's a florist and works at a garden centre, and also practices witchcraft as a green witch

ivory is a very protective person, she tries to always look out for people who are vulnerable or younger than her, which tends to earn her a reputation as the mum friend. she isn't very outwardly emotional and values having her own space, but is gentle and kind. because of her closed off, shy nature, everest tends to push her to try new things and enjoy life, while she helps keep them grounded; they see each other as siblings

key info.

• her dad left when she was very young and her mum was unwell through most of her childhood
  • she had to care for her siblings a lot and practically raised them even though her mum tried her best with what she had - this is why she tends to be so protective of younger people
• she moved away for college (very reluctantly) to study english literature, but doesn't live far from her family and hometown
  • during her college course she picked up a lot of odd jobs and found that she really enjoys being a florist
• she gets into a relationship at 19 that turns out to be toxic and is influenced into quitting her job as a florist even though she loves it
  • eventually at 22 she manages to leave him and gets employed at a garden centre again
• she meets everest and takes them in because they're struggling and she can relate to not having a safe place to go
  • then stella and talita also end up moving in and they get to be a happy found family :)

design notes.

• she has freckles all over her skin and prominent cheekbones
• body type is thin
• she has both lobes and upper lobes pierced, and wears a pentagram earring on her left ear, as well as a crystal necklace
  • she also needs glasses
• she can be drawn wearing pretty much anything like shirts and pants, dungarees, shorts, etc - she kind of dresses like a pinterest girlie i'm so sorry but it's true
