Biography
Original Timeline
Isabella Valentine (イザベラ・バレンタイン Izabera Barentain) was a female human born in the modern age as the daughter of Cervantes de León and an unknown woman. She was later abandoned at the doorstep of the mansion of the House of Valentine who were one of the most wealthy of families in London. This led to her being adopted by the Earl and Countess Valentine where she was raised as their daughter who loved her dearly. Isabella was unaware of her true parentage which was kept from her and she continued living in the family mansion. This was until the Earl Valentine was driven insane in his pursuit of the 'Key to Eternal Youth'. This caused him to vast the family's vast fortunes in search of this treasure thus leaving one of the most distinguished families in London in ruin. Ultimately, the Earl died and his wife who had fallen ill came to pass away shortly after her husband thus leaving Isabella the sole surviving member of the Valentine family. It was then that Ivy came to discover a will left behind by the Countess that revealed the secret of her parentage. Despite this, Isabella still lived her adoptive parents dearly as they were the only family she had ever known in her life. Searching through her parents' possessions, Ivy found her father's diary. In it, she discovered that the Key to Eternal Youth her father had been pursuing was a sword called Soul Edge. He had also been obsessed with the art of alchemy. To honor her father, Ivy chose to become an alchemist and investigate Soul Edge. During this investigation, she uncovered the true nature of the sword–it was an evil blade that feasted on souls. Vercci, Adams, Captain Cervantes; the more she read of the fates of those who had come into contact with Soul Edge, the more she became convinced of her suspicions. Filled with rage and despair, Ivy vowed to avenge the death of her father by using all of her knowledge to destroy Soul Edge. Ivy realized she needed to create a weapon powerful enough to destroy Soul Edge. Her knowledge led her to successfully create a weapon capable of shifting back and forth from a whip to a sword. This weapon was merely mechanical though, and Ivy believed the only thing which could stand against a living weapon is another living weapon. She attempted to use alchemy and her own blood to give the sword life, but all attempts were unsuccessful. Finding her alchemic skills useless, she turned to studying ancient sorcery. Every midnight, she would attempt summoning rituals, hoping to call upon a being who would grant her sword life. With every failed attempt, Ivy became more desperate and angry. At last, one night, a large malformed arm emerged from her summoning circle. The arm, sensing her attachment to her weapon, proceeded to touch the whip sword. Ivy heard a soundless voice seemingly coming from the arm. The ceremony came to an end and the mysterious being vanished. Under the moonlight, Ivy's sanity began to crack. She finally had the weapon she had sought to create; a living sword which would obey her every command. Calling her weapon the 'Ivy Blade', she set out on her journey to find and destroy Soul Edge.
