Biography
Ivy Pearson was a lounge singer at a music hall in the Soho section of London, England. As such, she was often the target of unwanted advances by inebriated patrons. Ivy lived in a boarding house run by a woman named Mrs. Hawkins. One night, outside the boarding house, Ivy was assaulted by a man, but the offender was driven off thanks to the unexpected appearance of Doctor Henry Jekyll. Jekyll helped Ivy to her feet and took her to her room. Smitten by the dashing physician, Ivy faked an injury in order to keep Jekyll's attention on her.
