Anyone familiar with David Lewis? If not, bear with me here.
Lewis argued that academic knowledge, no matter how thorough, is separate and distinct from experiential knowledge. His example, 'Mary,' knows every fact about the color red that can be communicated through words, but has never actually seen the color red.
Lewis defined the visual knowledge of red as a physical/mental ability that cannot be transmitted by purely information. He went on to say that although Mary knows everything about red, you cannot actually say she knows what red is until she sees it with her own eyes (or so I understand from my very, very old philosophy notes).
tl;dr: Thoughts on Ivy! Her abilities/limitations, the knowledge she possesses v. her lack of personal experience, how what she is affects her day-to-day life as a growing girl. With plot, preferably.
