Herstory:
There once was a sprawling ivy that was gorgeous to behold. It climbed over an old Victorian house, its roots deep as the foundation, winding around stanchions and reaching toward windows. It lived peacefully there for years, growing deeper into the house, vines pushing into the bricks and cement. One day the house was sold to a developer who wanted to use the land and who found the old house useless, finding that the ivy had created fissures damaging the stability of the home. The ivy was sad to have found that her work beautifying the home had not gone appreciated, and even that it had been considered a nuisance. The developer tore down the manse and, in order to dispense of the ivy, burned it down to the root so that it could not come back. As the ivy burned she wept, thinking her existence useless and cursing her efforts toward making the world a better place. She raged that she had been such a peaceful plant concerned with only love and beauty, and that humankind demonized her instead of celebrating her. The goddess Agrona heard the ivy’s cries and listened to her rage. The goddess considered the ivy, and realized that she could inspire the ivy to use her ire in the quest to rid the world of the ungrateful and wasteful life that had propagated on the planet. Agrona took the roots of ivy and imbued them with her magic, and as ivy began to sprout the goddess sent An Bas, the goddess’s messenger and first born to deliver her news. An Bas told ivy that she was reborn with the purpose of destroying the wickedness coursing through the world, so that it may be given the gift of rebirth and transformation. Ivy understood that her weaknesses were now her strength. She could burrow in and destroy things from the inside. From her rebirth she was named Poison Ivy, for not only was she skilled at breaking into things both living and inanimate and wreaking havoc from the presence of her invasive vines, but her leaves were poisonous to the touch, secreting a poison that would ensure her psychological invasion into their minds, making them ripe for her control over their minds and bodies. Poison Ivy rejoiced over her transformative rebirth and vowed to do the goddess’s will as well as she was able, her love and skills finally appreciated.
