Ivory and Aries' grandmother is just such a sweet little old lady. Except not. The bitch is a batshit old hag.
Ivory has a mix of both types of psychic abilities, her mother had the empathic type and her father's side of the family are mediums and deal with death. There has been a divide in her family over this, mostly waged by her grandmother. Ivory has an interest in both sides, but as her grandmother pushed her to follow her footsteps in learning to use and manipulating dead spirits, she couldn't handle it. Because of the other side of her nature, she feels for the spirits that her grandmother has no issue tormenting into doing her bidding.
