Biography
Ivy was a young girl who stayed in the childrens' ward of the clinic on Quarantine. According to a medical record exerpt reprinted in the 2995: The Legion of Super-Heroes Sourcebook, she was born in 2987 and was 7 at the time of the attack by the Persuader on Quarantine (depicted in Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #12 and Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #13).
According to the medical report, her birth name was ordered suppressed by her birth parents.
Ivy apparently could talk to plants, although the medical professionals at the clinic did not believe her. She was befriended by ex-Legionnaire Kent Shakespeare, who believed she had those abilities. Ivy formed quite an attachment to Kent while the paramedic was stationed at the clinic, and she was heartbroken when he decided to rejoin the Legion in December, 2994.
It was never explicitly explained in the comics, but fan speculation and a few clues point to Ivy being the descendant of Swamp Thing. She had a white streak in her hair, which was similar to the same streak in the hair of Abigail (Abby) Arcane (Swamp Thing's lover) and her daughter, Tefé.
