Daphne is a toxic vine that the young Ivy treats as a pet. It is implied that it started out as greenery for Sydney Happersen’s desk, which, according to Lex Luthor, was a violation for an office rule at LexCorp which ostensibly prohibits greenery from being present on employee desks, possibly due to Ivy’s gift of manipulating plant life, and her being imprisoned and experimented upon.

The relationship between Poison Ivy and this semi-sentient seedling is that of a child and their first pet: a kind of potent, pure affection that softens a vicious infant and half-deranges an impassive creature. The result, in this case, is a carnivorous toxic vine operating at the whim of an angry young girl.
It isn’t immediately obvious how Ivy first found this plant, but upon scouring the late Happersen’s diary, I can ascertain that it originated as greenery for his otherwise barren desk. A violation of an office rule that existed for good reason.
What is noticeable, however, in Ivy’s companion crafting are glimmers of a capacity to breath humanity into that which has none. Though they are botanical, I cannot help but wonder: does “Daphne” pass the Turing test?
Trivia[]
- Its worth noting that despite being given a feminine name, Daphne is referred to as the non-binary "they" by Ivy. This is odd as plants and flowers as are typically given female names as endearment by their owners.
- Daphne is sentient to a degree, as they are shown conforming Ivy after she gets a nano bomb.
- Daphne's appearance is similar to the plants Poison Ivy creates to inhale Scarecrow's Fear Toxin in Batman: Arkham Knight.
