I Now Present To You All: Ivy Buckingham!! One Of My Older OCS That I Haven't Drawn Or (sadly) Paid Much

I now present to you all: Ivy Buckingham!! One of my older OCS that I haven't drawn or (sadly) paid much attention to ever since I created her around 2018-2019! Luckily now she looks ever better than she did before!

(more in-depth info will be below)

Owner of a semi-popular flower shop that resides in Bright Light City and across the street from Wispy and Dave's apartment complex, Ivy Buckingham is a species of skunk called the Plant Skunk

A special species of skunk that instead of omitting a foul oder like most skunks do, the plant skunk will alternatively omit a pleasant scent similar to many types of flowers and fauna, having their own scent special to them to tell each other apart (for example for Ivy, her scent smells of roses) and they also are seen having a certain plant specific to the individual plant skunk wrapped around their tails (for Ivy, she has Ivy vines wrapped around her tail). On top of that, they are also very well known to have elemental abilities that are connected to plants and the earth, hence being able to grow plants with nothing but their paws and tail

Ivy had moved to Bright Light City from a small country town that was very well known for their farming, agriculture, and most of all, their flowers and fauna to start a life of her own and to expose the city folks to the beauty of nature via her plants. She was 22 years old when she arrived in Bright Light City and met Wispy and Dave while she was finding her way around the city and had just so happened to walk into the Millenni-Yum to ask for directions to her new home at the time, Wispy having an instant crush on her since

The flower shop that she had opened a year later is called The RoseLace Flower Boutique, which specializes in flowers, succulents (such as cactuses, aloe), and evergreen climbing vines (such as ivy plants, star jasmine, and clematis). The shop has been featured in a few gardening and home decorating magazines and has had a feature on a popular gardening tv show called Rose Tinted Sundays with Ms. Daisy Duke

Wispy and Ivy are both currently crushing on each other and they both love to tease each other, whether it be by flirting on Ivy's part or saying outrageous bullcrap on Wispy's end. Due to the both of them still feeling like they still need time for themselves and their careers (for Ivy at least) and both still wanting to date other people (they're both poly anyhow so even when they do start officially dating, they would still be WILDIN), they are only on a super casual dating status

To describe Ivy's personality in the simplest of terms: she's simultaneously a southern belle and a party girl all in one. She loves having a good time in any way she can (from taking care of her plants to going to the nightclubs around the city to party) and is very well known for her flirtatious manner towards those she finds an attraction to all while still being down to earth, level headed, and very intelligent despite how she presents herself and will not take any sort of BS she feels she doesn't have to deal with

----------------------------------------------------

Notes:

She has graduated college with a degree in Botany/Plant Sciences

One of her favorite nightclubs in Bright Light City to go to is The Uranium Banana, Bright Light City's biggest and most famous nightclub of all. It is also Wispy's favorite nightclub and they frequently bump into each other there

She has a childhood best friend that is from and still lives in her hometown named Melly Lynn, who is a watermelon farmer there. They send each other letters pretty much every week or so

Her father was a farmer while her mother was a florist in their hometown, her mother even owning her own flower shop there, which was what inspired Ivy to open The RoseLace

Her favorite kinds of plants and flowers are roses, ivy, hen and chicks, aloe, clematis, star jasmine, daisies, buttercups, irises, daffodils, and carnations

She lives in a small condo that is right next to the RoseLace, so going to and from work for her is a breeze!

I now present: Dave!! It's been soso long since I've updated him as well so this was super nice to draw too!

(info is below the read more)

Wispy's room mate, co worker, and (sorta reluctant) friend, Dave Fitzgerald is a deadpan, stony, stoic, and overall quiet "Eeyore" personality type that had decided to be room mates with Wispy due to convenience since they both already knew each other prior to living together

His mother is a rabbit while his father is a goat, making him a hybrid with high speeds, agility, climbing, vertical jumps/leaps, and having a very strong kick, but he never seems to use these skills very often due to only needing them for certain situations

He does find Wispy to be obnoxious, annoying, loud, and an overall disruption and obstacle in his life, but due to knowing him so long and having actually been protected and aided by Wispy on more than a few occasions in the past, he chooses to tolerate all of shenanigans he's put through with a blank face

Dave and Wispy also share the exact same shift as each other in the Millenni-Yum, so a lot of the actual work like cleaning, stocking shelves and looking over security cameras lands on him while Wispy either just stays at the counter or out goofing off with Emmett outside. Dave puts up with this to (to an extent) due to not wanting Wispy to be fired (along with himself ofc) since if they work the same job at the same time, that means there's twice more money for them and their needs

He eventually wants to open up his own carnival food truck that would be nomadic depending on where the fairs he's following would take him, serving his specialty fried foods such as the one of his own invention: The Deep Fried Pizza Cone (deep fried cone shaped pizza slices that holds in whatever savory dish you'd like (such as mac n cheese, bits of chicken such as sweet n sour or buffalo, and even alfredo). But due to life circumstances (living with Wispy lol) and being overall a broke 23 year old who gets paid minimum wage

------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

Wispy and Dave have been friends since childhood ever since Wispy stood up to a bully for Dave when he was a new student who had moved to Bright Light City that year and also was two grades below Wispy

He's a very skilled cook who has been into it as a passion and hobby ever since his childhood, since he and his mom would spend a lot of their time cooking together as a bonding experience

In high school, he used to be in lots of sports, such as soccer, football, track and many many others, after graduating high school, he grew disinterested in them and never did them much again. The only ones he still does are rock/mountain climbing, hiking, martial arts (especially karate and capoeira), and vertical jumping

He has a side job of creating recipes and cooking up prototypes of said recipes for Lime Ricky's Pizza, he and Lime Ricky (the owner) as a result get along pretty decently. It's just that Lime Ricky is an extremely stinky and greasy (literally and metaphorically) person so it's hard to work in person with him

He has been mistaken several times as being part demon/imp by strangers or people he just met due to the shape of his horns being demon-esqe

------------------------------------------------------

All done!

I really do hope that you guys enjoy him!!
