Name: Ivy "Tamsyn" Marais

Birthday: April 28, 1987 (27)

Gender: Female

Face Claim: Diana Moldovan

Family/Housemates: N/A

Address: 264 Road Street, Barfield

Personality: Underneath her apparent full body armor of confidence she is sensitive and prone to insecurity, clinging to the image her family has of her. Intelligent and sarcastic, she often downplays her intellect to the level of those around her, something like a mental chameleon. Occasionally tactful and down-to-earth, she has a understandably pessimistic view of reality. Ivy can see the negative aspects of even the most positive situations. She may blindly accept rules, but almost always has an ulterior motive. In her pre-teens she was known for being energetic, outgoing, and popular among her peers. This of course was due in part to her moments of genuine selflessness and her uncanny ability to be helpful when there is nothing for her to gain. Peppy and lovable she was once a theater geek, and a wholesome choir girl, now she is a sultry vixen basking in the warm glow of a solitary spotlight.

History: Ivy Marais is the youngest child, and the only daughter of Vincent Marais and Georgina “Gigi” Spalding-Marais. Ivy was born at the end of a wet and rainy April, on the 28th, the year 1987. She was born two years after the unexpected birth of her elder brother Owen. Ivy and her brother were born and raised in Blackwood Mountain, they are the third generation born in Blackwood. Her grandparents the Spalding and the Marais families are wealthy, exposing their gene pool to privileges the average person could only imagine.

Similar to their parents before them Ivy and Owen attended and subsequently graduated from Lebeaux Preparatory School. The Marais children, both Owen and Ivy are very intelligent. Owen took every opportunity to prove that he was smarter than just about everyone, while Ivy was more subtle about exposing the vastness of her knowledge. Seeing how quickly this one change brought people closer to her compared to the way Owen’s obnoxiousness pushed people away, she made the very conscious choice to adapt.

Choosing to be more like her mother and less like her father. Ivy did not change much, she is still the same delicate, self-conscious, altruistic, beautiful, bright-eyed brunette she has always been. The true version of her is kept under lock and key, hidden as far away from any light as she can keep her. Tamsyn is name of the identity she assumes when she wants to feel more important than she thinks she is. It served her well through many academic successes and failures. Fresh out of prep school Ivy briefly attended Lebeaux University before choosing to drop out.


 * Since the age of 18 'Tamsyn' has been an exotic dancer employed at Platinum Club in Lebeaux. School was not an enjoyable or valuable use of her time, getting paid to be admired and desired is.
