Ivyan is an outherine gender in the Sylvian System, one of the four Nature Systems. It is characterized by both a general connection to nature and forests, but is also distinct in that, due to it being part of the Sylvian System, it is also characterized by an intense and stunningly overwhelming connection to nature that can't be describe by general naturecore terms. It is also outherine. Ivyan people could describe their alignments in several ways-
- They feel aligned to outhrinity because their gender feels related to forest aspects that can traditionally be seen as "outherine"
- They just feel a connection to outhrinity that is not due to their naturecore identity but may still be entwined with it
- They feel a mixture of both of those options
History
