((WARNING...INCOMING SAP STORY :D ))

Ivo is a character that has been in the works for years... only now have I decided to release her. My mom always said I was more of a horse and a crab than what Blu is...

However, I'm gonna keep Blu, obviously. I'm too attached to her and wanted to make a character that was more personal and more true to 'who I am' and all that jazz.

Since I was a kid I had been listening to a group called Cocteau Twins... my dad had me listening to them since I was a baby. Since I was young up 'til now, one of my favorite songs was Ivo.

So of course I had to make a character based off of my childhood, based off of how I feel, based off of how I've felt my entire life. Galloping, scuttling, kicking, screaming, and hiding, all while being free and still being covered by a thick shell.

I am Ivo.
