>>1738433Tira probably wouldn't be too much trouble for Ivy, actually; we all know that, deep down, Tira's a sub and always will be, albeit a very conniving and manipulative one. It would probably be more like having a spoiled girlfriend who doesn't take no for an answer and puts forth effort to get what she wants, but in the end still bends over for her mistress.
Honestly, I think the hardest part for Ivy to handle would be Tira's penchant for murder, although Tira might do it as a way to try and set Ivy off. Isabella being so strong-willed and domineering would be a reminder that, even if she's more human than not, Ivy still carries part of her former master in her, which would probably make Ivy seem that much more attractive, to the point that she might even see the Englishwoman as an idol nearly as worthy of worship as Soul Edge. Each time she draws out that anger, she could see Soul Edge reflected in it, which would likely make her hornier than a fourteen year-old boy surrounded by naked porn stars.
Potential suitors for Ivy that she won't have to watch die would probably consist of Tira, Pyrrha, and Elysium, with some others who are borderline cases.
Elysium is actually one of my favorite crackships for Ivy. It could go something like when Ivy does the spell to activate the sacred treasures (and with them, Soul Calibur), Elysium contacts Ivy instead, and promises her a cleansed soul and undying love if she takes up the mantle of the one who wields the spirit sword, using affection to manipulate Ivy into doing her bidding, much like with Patroklos, but with less Oedipus complex involved. Whether Ivy manages to will Elysium into complacency, perhaps by somehow fusing Soul Calibur and Valentine (which carries some of Soul Edge's energy after being touched by Nightmare), would be up for debate, but I imagine it might work out, the taint of Soul Edge from Valentine keeping Elysium's sheer power in check, but not silencing her like the Soul Embrace did in III.
