THINGS YOUR MUSE WILL NOTICE ABOUT MINE repost, do not reblog

WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. ivy stands at 5'5" with a slim, and even build; her chest, waist and hips are proportional, but her limbs are slightly shorter in comparison. her back is in a perpetual slump / hunch, but she typically walks with a speedy gait, chest forward and head on a constant swivel, and hands either tucked in her pockets or swinging. she looks like someone's that had to fought to be taken seriously, because she has; people see her and see just another average person, but there's a lot more to her than you'd expect. ivy weighs roughly 135 lbs, with her frame/demeaner and baggy clothes keeping her tone and slender muscles hidden from the naked eye. her most noticeable facial features easily is her eyes; she has large, wide, deep set and round earthy-green eyes, and her second most prominent feature would be her wide bow-shaped lips with a key-gap between upper & lower lip when smiling, and slightly crooked upper front teeth. her hair is naturally dark auburn red ( closest to her shade ), and is 3B-type curly which is almost always worn down messily and unbrushed, but she will occasionally wear it in either a ponytail or a bun. she has cool undertoned ecru skin, and is covered nearly from her head to her toes is various scars; her most prominent is the deep claw marks that span from across her right collarbone, and end across the back of her right shoulder, followed by the various bite marks ( made by both inhuman and human teeth ) across her shoulders, wrists and both sides of her neck. additionally, she has a large part of her left helix missing due to a game of throwing knives with her sister, various claw & nail marks across her chest/stomach/abdomen ( some deeper than others ), has slightly tipped ears ( see: here ), and to the supernatural eye, she has the faintest outlines of small wings spanning from her shoulder blades to the middle of her back ( see: here ). she refuses to get tattoos for fear of being too easily recognisable, stating that her scars would be more than enough to identify her if needed. clothing wise, when working ivy will wear a casual suit as her uniform; a blazer, a light collared shirt and suit pants, but never a tie, and the top buttons of her shirt is always open; when out of uniform/not working, ivy likes to drown herself in soft flannels, baggy jeans, plain tshirts and long sleeved henleys. she never wears a bra, and is fond of men's underwear; typically stealing hers from one-night stands on buying in bulk from walmart or other supermarkets. for shoes, she only ever wears boots, even when in uniform, she'll be wearing some form of boot. jewellery wise, the only necklace she'll ever wear is marilyn-ann's locket, and either stud or small hooped earrings; she doesn't wear rings nor watches for fear of losing her hand/fingers if they were to get caught. ivy refuses to shave her bodyhair, instead keeping it neatly trimmed; besides the hair on her head, her darkest hair is her underarm and pubic hair, and a slight trail leading from her belly button to her pubic hair, as well as slightly dark hair across her arms, legs

WHAT THEY SMELL LIKE. rain, the faint smell of copper, diner coffee, non-descript deodorant, lynx's " ice chill all day fresh, " bodywash, and dr brenner's soap. typically smells most like diner grease, sweat, dirt and blood by the end of the day.

WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE. sensodyne toothpaste, very sweet coffee, various greasy diner foods ( usually burgers, fries or pancakes ), strawberry milkshakes, strawberry gum, blackberries or blueberries depending the season, and various sodas ( off-brand cola, lemonades, energy drinks etc ).

WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE. ( here's a small clip of ivy's voice claim talking. ) ivy has a southern appalachian-influenced west virginian accent, due to her grandfather being from virginia and living in the mountains most of his life, until he left home and moved to the town where he eventually settled and started his family, ivy speaks with an appalachian dialect; she typically drops the letter "g," off of her words, and will combine "y'all," with the starts of words as her father, and grandfather did this too. throughout college, and in the bureau, ivy does tend to soften her accent, partially to prevent being the butt of stereotypical jokes, but also to ensure that people can understand her easily as she has been told throughout her life that it's hard to understand her. around other southern muses she won't hide her accent, and will often speak openly with the dialect that she was raised in as she feels comfortable enough to be that open with them. she has a fast paced way of speaking, often cutting herself off mid-sentence; her voice is smokey, and her tone wavers between erratic and nearly completely monotonous. she often raises her voice to get points across, to catch people's attention and to try and drown out those arguing with her, but rarely outright shouts; only ever doing so if absolutely necessary ( she hears her father when she yells, so does her best to avoid remembering him ). when ivy yells it's with the same tone and affect as someone yelling to scold, or yelling to belittle.

WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE. ivy's hands are rough; years of picking at the callouses have left her with perpetually rough, and tough skin on her fingertips and her palms ( most noticeable around her thumbs ). her scars are smooth, and shiny; years of slathering moisturiser and oils over then to fade tem leaving then surprisingly soft, as is the rest of her skin; ivy makes sure to moisturise after washing, and so her skin is soft to the touch with execptions to the areas that she has callouses ( her hands, and feet ). her hair will often feel standard, not particularly soft, but not incredibly dry, but her roots will often feel powdery and greasy due to dry-shampoo on the days she forgot to shower. the slightly dark hair on her arms and legs is noticeable upon touch, and her scars, despite being soft, to feel raised and bumpy ( especially the larger ones which haven't healed properly ).
