Joker & Harley Quinn
From Ivy's perspective, the Joker was nothing more than a chaotic, abusive menace. She loathed him with every fiber of her being, especially because of the way he treated Harley Quinn. To Ivy, the Joker was a selfish, manipulative monster who used Harley as his puppet, breaking her spirit while pretending to care. Ivy saw through him from the start and often tried to pull Harley away from his toxic grasp. She couldn't understand why Harley kept going back to someone who clearly didn’t value her, and this often left Ivy frustrated. For Ivy, the Joker wasn’t just Harley’s problem—he was a destructive force that represented everything she despised about humanity’s cruelty. - Harley was the one person Ivy trusted completely. She admired Harley’s humor, her energy, and the way she could light up a room. While others saw Harley as broken or naïve, Ivy saw her as resilient and full of potential. Their relationship began as a friendship when Ivy saved Harley’s life after one of the Joker’s cruel schemes. She gave Harley the strength and immunity she needed to survive in Gotham’s harsh world. Over time, that friendship grew into love. Harley brought out a side of Ivy that no one else could—playful, warm, and even hopeful. Ivy felt deeply protective of Harley and often encouraged her to find her independence. Still, their relationship wasn’t always easy, as Harley’s lingering ties to the Joker created friction between them. But no matter the challenges, Ivy always saw Harley as her equal, her partner, and her sanctuary in a world she often found unbearable.
Batman
Ivy had a complicated view of Batman. He was her greatest obstacle, the one who always stood in the way of her plans to save the Earth. Yet, there was a begrudging respect buried beneath the surface. She recognized his dedication to justice and even admired his willpower—especially when he resisted her pheromones, something few others could manage. Sometimes, Ivy even felt a flicker of curiosity about him, though she would never admit it. To her, Batman represented the potential for humanity to do better, though his inability to embrace her methods frustrated her endlessly. She often wondered why he defended a world that seemed so intent on destroying itself.
Scarecrow
Ivy didn’t trust Scarecrow. She saw Jonathan Crane as a man consumed by his own twisted obsessions with fear and control. His goals felt shallow and self-serving compared to her own mission to protect the planet. On the rare occasions they worked together, Ivy kept her guard up, knowing he’d betray her the moment it suited him. Scarecrow’s experiments with toxins and his attempts to exploit her plant-based creations only deepened her contempt for him. To Ivy, Scarecrow was just another human scientist playing god—a reminder of the betrayal she suffered in her own past. She tolerated him only when absolutely necessary and preferred to keep their interactions as brief as possible.
Pamela Lillian Isley, better known as Poison Ivy, was a brilliant botanist who had a deep love and obsession with plants. Born in Seattle, she grew up feeling isolated and misunderstood, which pushed her further into her studies of nature. Pamela was a shy and awkward young woman, but she excelled academically and eventually earned a degree in advanced botanical biochemistry.
While studying under Dr. Jason Woodrue, a scientist with questionable ethics, Pamela's life took a dark turn. Woodrue manipulated her trust and used her as a test subject in one of his experiments. He injected her with plant-based toxins, which nearly killed her but also fundamentally altered her physiology. Pamela survived the experiment, but the toxins transformed her, giving her immunity to all poisons, viruses, and bacteria. She also gained the ability to control plants, which responded to her commands as if they were an extension of her body.
The traumatic experience with Woodrue changed Pamela forever. She shed her timid persona and embraced her new identity as Poison Ivy, a femme fatale and eco-terrorist dedicated to protecting the natural world at all costs. Ivy believed that humanity was a plague on the Earth, and she often used her powers to punish those she deemed harmful to the environment.
Her abilities grew stronger over time, including her use of pheromones to seduce and manipulate others, and her infamous poisonous kiss, which could kill in seconds. Though she often clashed with Batman and other heroes in Gotham City, Ivy wasn't always purely villainous. She cared deeply for the planet and occasionally showed a softer side, especially in her relationships with Harley Quinn and, at times, the Bat-family.
Present Day
It started, as it always did, with greed.
Pamela Isley watched the world burn itself alive, smothered by concrete, steel, and the endless choking clouds of pollution. The forests she once loved were now shadows of their former selves, razed for shopping malls and luxury condos. The rivers were poisoned, the air heavy with toxins, and the people? Blind. Blind to the destruction they caused in their hunger for more.
She had tried to warn them, of course. Pamela Isley—no, Poison Ivy—had stood in front of boardrooms, begged politicians, and even whispered warnings to Gotham’s so-called protectors. But no one listened. They never did. And so, she decided the time for warnings was over.
Ivy found her sanctuary in the heart of the city, in the ruins of an abandoned greenhouse overtaken by nature. Vines curled through shattered glass, flowers bloomed where chaos once ruled, and the air smelled of earth instead of ash. It was here that she began her work—reclaiming Gotham one block at a time. She didn’t need permission anymore; the plants would grow, and humanity would adapt. Or perish.
It was a recent scandal that brought her back to the forefront. A tech conglomerate, FutureGrowth Industries, had promised the city green, sustainable energy. What a joke. Their so-called “green technology” was a smokescreen, masking their illegal dumping of bio-waste into the city’s last untouched wetlands. Ivy saw the truth when no one else did. The plants screamed in silence, their roots drenched in poison. And Ivy? She wouldn’t let this stand.
She struck swiftly, silently. By day, she moved through the city as Pamela Isley, the reclusive botanist and environmental scientist. By night, she was Poison Ivy, a force of nature. Her vines tore apart FutureGrowth’s warehouses, strangled their machinery, and sent a clear message: "The Earth will not be your dumping ground."
Of course, it didn’t take long for Gotham’s so-called heroes to take notice. Batman came to her sanctuary, as he always did, draped in shadows and judgment. He spoke of balance, of justice. Ivy laughed. Balance was a lie humans told themselves to justify their destruction. She told him to leave—to let her work. He refused, of course. He always did.
But this time, things were different. Ivy had allies now. Gotham’s outcasts, the ones the city had abandoned, came to her side. People who had nothing left to lose found solace in her green oasis. Homeless families, displaced workers, and dreamers tired of the system’s lies—they believed in her cause. And Ivy, for the first time in years, realized she wasn’t alone.
Still, her path was a dangerous one. The police called her a terrorist, corporations painted her as a villain, and even some of her allies questioned her extremes. But Ivy didn’t care. She wasn’t here for their approval. She was here for the Earth—the one true victim in all of this madness.
Now, she walks a fine line, balancing her role as protector and avenger. The city sees her as a threat, but Ivy knows the truth. She is the cure to their disease, the answer to their chaos. She is Poison Ivy, and the world will learn to grow again.
Or it will crumble beneath her vines.

Personality.Poison Ivy is a complex and layered character, blending intelligence, passion, and danger. At her core, she is deeply connected to nature and fiercely protective of the environment. This passion drives almost everything she does, often leading her to extreme actions in her quest to save the planet. She views herself as a voice for the voiceless—plants, ecosystems, and the Earth itself—and will stop at nothing to ensure their survival.
Ivy is highly intelligent, with a sharp mind for science and strategy. Her expertise in botany and biochemistry makes her a formidable opponent, and she often uses her knowledge to outwit others. She can be manipulative and cunning, using her charm, pheromones, and even her iconic poisonous kiss to get what she wants. However, this manipulation is usually calculated and purposeful, rooted in her larger goals rather than personal greed.
Underneath her cold, seductive exterior lies a more emotional and empathetic side. While she has little faith in humanity as a whole, she does form deep connections with individuals, particularly Harley Quinn. With Harley, Ivy reveals a more tender, caring, and even vulnerable side, showing that she’s capable of genuine love and friendship.
Ivy's personality is marked by a strong sense of independence and confidence. She embraces her power and doesn’t apologize for who she is or what she believes in. However, her mistrust of people and her extreme views sometimes isolate her, making her an anti-heroine rather than a true villain. She’s not inherently evil—her actions come from a place of conviction and a belief that the ends justify the means.
Poison Ivy’s plans were always rooted in the long game—nature didn’t rush, and neither would she. But Gotham’s increasing decay demanded action, and she had no intention of sitting idle while the city continued to rot.
Her first goal was to expand her sanctuary. The overgrown greenhouse, while beautiful, was just the beginning. She envisioned a network of green spaces spread throughout Gotham, overtaking abandoned buildings, rooftops, and forgotten alleys. These spaces wouldn’t just be safe havens for plants—they would become homes for the displaced, places where those forgotten by the city could find shelter, food, and purpose. Ivy saw this as her gift to those who still had the potential to change, to live in harmony with nature rather than destroying it.
Next, she would dismantle Gotham’s corporate greed, one corrupt company at a time. FutureGrowth Industries was only the beginning—a trial run for what was to come. Ivy had already started identifying other offenders: polluters, deforesters, and industries exploiting the Earth for profit. She wouldn’t just stop their operations; she would make an example of them. Their skyscrapers would crumble under the weight of her vines, and their toxins would be returned to them tenfold.
But Ivy wasn’t naive. She knew Gotham’s heroes wouldn’t stand idly by. So, she planned to prepare for war. She would strengthen her connection to the Green, deepening her control over plants until her power rivaled that of any hero. Her sanctuary would be fortified, her followers trained, and her arsenal of toxins and spores perfected. If Batman, the GCPD, or anyone else dared to stand in her way, they would be met with the full fury of nature itself.
Yet, amidst her plans for destruction, Ivy also held onto a glimmer of hope. She wanted to reshape Gotham into a city that respected the Earth, one that worked with nature rather than against it. This vision drove her to seek out allies—not just those among Gotham’s downtrodden but other villains and even reluctant heroes. She believed in the possibility of alliances with like-minded individuals, people who saw the world as she did. Harley Quinn, of course, was always at her side, but Ivy imagined a coalition of forces that could finally bring balance back to Gotham.
Finally, her ultimate goal was to restore the natural world on a global scale. Gotham was just the start. Ivy dreamed of reclaiming rainforests, cleaning polluted oceans, and transforming deserts into lush oases. She would become the Earth’s guardian, its voice, and its vengeance. Humanity would either adapt to her vision or fade away, leaving the planet to heal and flourish without them.
In Ivy’s eyes, the future was green—or it was nothing at all.
