History</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Ivy is still uncertain about the world at large, though she is slowly improving.  She frequently takes others' remarks at face value even when they aren't meant that way and is also often too trusting.  Always scientifically curious, she is now equally curious about the outside world, though at the same time she's wary of venturing too far alone.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Twenty-odd years ago, a scientist named Nathaniel Isley wanted to perform a very particular experiment in his hidden laboratory.  Somehow, he 'obtained' a newborn and brought her to his rambling, crumbling mansion on the outskirts of town, nestled in the midst of a huge and overgrown garden, the entire place thought to be abandoned and possibly even haunted.<br/><br/>As this child grew, she received nothing that could be called paternal affection.  She did, however, receive an excellent education in the biological sciences that her "father" favored.  She was also raised on an extremely specific diet that contained various botanical and other natural poisons, until she became as dependent on those as a normal human would be on vitamins.  Though she was given no name as such, Dr. Isley on a few occasions referred to her as Poison Ivy, and that was how she thought of herself.<br/><br/>Not allowed out to experience the rest of the world -- as much for the sake of the general populace as for her own -- Ivy stayed within the confines of the house and its walled grounds her entire life, caring for a wide array of deadly plants both inside and out as well as helping Dr. Isley in the laboratory.  She read the books in the library, mainly older classics, and often yearned to meet other people and see other places, but for the most part was content to live in this fashion, knowing computers only as laboratory tools since the internet was also forbidden her.<br/><br/>One night, disaster struck.  After having fallen asleep reading in the library, Ivy awoke to discover the house in flames and was forced to flee into the world for the first time, clinging to a potted<em>caladium hortulanem</em>that she had rescued along the way.  She still has this plant and is especially fond of it, considering it her last childhood friend.<br/><br/>Believing that her adoptive father had perished in the fire since she could find no sign of him, Ivy had no idea of where to turn.  Remembering an address from which Dr. Isley had often received packages, she attempted to make her way there, with the vague hope of finding someone who had known him.  But being utterly unfamiliar with directions and only slightly better at reading maps, she quickly became lost in a bad part of town.  When, inevitably, someone tried to attack her, she instinctively defended herself and the thug fell to the ground screaming.<br/><br/>Fortunately, it was at this point that the Flash intervened.  Realizing at once that this young woman was far from ordinary, he made sure her attacker received medical attention and quickly got her to the STAR Labs to find out more about her abilities.  Relieved to be in surroundings that felt familiar to her, Ivy was a very cooperative subject, though her natural pheromones (able to manipulate human emotions in various ways) did cause several incidents until she learned the knack of controlling them.  Dr. Isley had built up a tolerance to them since he'd been exposed to them for years, but other lab personnel were not so lucky.<br/><br/>Knowing almost nothing of society to begin with, she has since begun to learn how to function, though she still often seems awkward and confused in less familiar situations.  She's still happiest in a lab or tending to her plants, but is slowly attempting to fit in more outside of these realms.  Aware now that Isley was a sociopath, she rarely speaks of him directly and never refers to him as her father in any sense.  Strong emotions will affect her control of her pheromones -- for example, if something makes her angry and frustrated, all those around her will likely start to feel the same as her biochemistry slips out of her control.  These incidents are fairly rare, but she finds them embarrassing and works hard to avoid them.<br/><br/><strong>Group Affiliation:</strong>N/A<br/><br/><strong>Base Of Operations:</strong>Central City<br/><br/><span
