Elyse Jane Elizabeth Colston was raised in her small but cozy house in Lexington, Kentucky with her adoptive No-Maj parents. Elyse is the type of child to always carry a book with her, and more of a keep to herself type of girl. Needless to say, when she got her acceptance letter to Ilvermorny, her parents were shocked but sportive. They were a bit worried at first, but eventually let her go. She was selected into Thunderbird (equivalent to Slytherin) and fit in quite well even though she was a "muggle-born," but Elyse always had that one thought in the back of her head that she did not belong in Thunderbird or really at Ilvermorny at all.
Elyse knew she was different since she started at her private school before she went to Ilvermorny. She had a very slight British accent, and the only one in her class who was adopted when she was a baby.
She was teased a lot when she first went to Ilvermorny for being a "Muggle Born" sorted into Thunderbird because that is supposedly only for the "Purebloods," but she was accepted but she still felt as though she only had her best friend Lili-Anna, and her boyfriend Tom for support.
When Elyse gets asked by Dumbledore to go to Hogwarts for a year for her 5th year, she is really shocked when her adoptive No-Maj parents weirdly takes them no time at all to say that she can go. She ends staying with a family who is still grieving. Even though she enjoys Hogwarts, everyone seams as though they are keeping secrets from Elyse.
Join Elyse as she stays at Hogwarts and finds why Dumbledore asked her to come to Hogwarts, learns why she was given up as a baby, makes friends, meets a certain someone, and finds out who she really is.
Everyone has that one secret about their family they hope never sees the light of day. For most people it's an embarrassing story or an eccentric relative; for me it's who my entire family is. If my fellow classmates knew who I had been raised by, or fathered by, I would become cast out, a black spot on their memory. It shouldn't bother me, especially since I loved my uncle, the man who raised me and loved me in return; but I wanted to fit in. I wanted to have a normal school experience. If only I knew how stupid that idea was...

Though, possible a little more then her fellow classmates. Her uncle always told her not to ask questions about her father, and now she knew why. She had always hoped it was because Severus hated her father, but now she knew the truth. But her father didn't. Only Severus and a few others knew she was still alive. While everyone worries about Harry's safety, Ivy must come to terms with who she is and where she came from in order to survive.
