In Soulcalibur V, Ivy's secondary costume was designed by Mari Shimazaki. (Excludes Ivy's Soulcalibur V 2P costume). In her 2P costumes, Ivy is often seen wearing masculine clothes (mainly uniforms or uniform inspired, possibly with a bifauxnen image in mind) or very elegant, yet sexy and provocative, dresses. She always wears armor on her left shoulder, arm and hand in her 1P outfits. Throughout the series, Ivy's hairstyle in her 1P costumes doesn't change, remaining the same short haircut with bangs covering her left eye. In contrast, Ivy's Soulcalibur V outfit is the most conservative up to date, using a color scheme similar to that from Soulcalibur III. The overall silhouette of her costume remains the same throughout the series, aside from her Soulcalibur IV costume, where little is left to cover her torso. In the following games, dark purple and gold are a recurring color scheme in her outfits, however the designers include white in her Soulcalibur III costume. Starting with Soulcalibur, she is the first character in the series to be wearing a very revealing costume, with a massive amount cleavage and her thighs and hips exposed, despite wearing high boots and long gloves. The overall recurring theme in Ivy's costumes is that of a dominatrix. She is also considered one of the most advanced character's in the series' timeline. Nevertheless, she exhibits sophistication, confidence, and being a bookworm - as she spent most of her time researching on how to counter Soul Edge. This is further explored when Ivy doesn't kill for pleasure only those deserving such punishment and judgment. Overall, she is a neutrally-aligned character. Beneath her cold demeanor is a heart that wants freedom from a cursed life that will do whatever it takes to be free. When facing her opponents, she spites them with dramatic words and she takes advantage of her unique weapon, which she invented. She only wanted to acquire Soul Calibur by any means to sever her bond with Soul Edge. Ivy is considered evil by many due to her Machiavellian philosophy and her appearance. Since her first appearance, she has become one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in the franchise, mainly due to her snake sword, big breasts, revealing clothing, and silver hair.
