I love iva's personality, and she's a blast to play when she gets going. So it was sort of inevitable I'd bring some version of her to the game shop.

The Great Deadlands and their two fading suns are the result of a great magical war between major humanoid races. The pinnicale of magical and technological development crashing down in a three hour war reducing half the planet to slag, and the rest to wastelands dotted with massive mega cities.
With the usual fantasy races largely destroyed or having devolved into monsters themselves, many others have begun to struggle for a new place in the broken world.
Initally Kitsune come from the land of Nipjing to the east. Shapeshifting tickster humanoids that lived alongside the overwhelming number of humans, In Nipjing and Jade.
Often in human guise, as xenophobia was all too common everywhere.

Many worked to prevent the great war from occuring between their two home nations, but the drums of war would not be stopped. Not enough sly words or not enough willingness to use a knife in the dark some would now say.

Amid a world where humans are blamed for the war, and some people eat them, Kitsune of the west have shed their masks to survive.

Ivanna herself comes from some enclave in the far north. She always had a wanderlust, and a nose for both gold and trouble. Even as a child.
She was always a genius, working with handed down textbooks of human sciences, lost magics, and a little experimentation whenever subjects are available. She's cobbled togeather a working knowledge of chemistry, biology, virology, epidemiology, medicine, and demolitions.
The kitsune enclave in one of the dead cities only had enough food for so many people. She found a Oldworld suit in the window of one of the Undercity stores on her 18th birthday, and decided to take her medical skills on the road. It wasn't hard to find a caravan of survivors in need of her skills.
The rest as they say, is history. Leaving a trail of broken hearts, empty wallets, saved towns, and dead monsters/demons/whathefuckisthat in her wake. Always in pursuit of gold, glory, and a damn good time.

Ivanna's knowledge is second to none in the broken lands, and she shares it with the tiny hardscrabble towns surviving in the wastelands, or the large sandblasted cities. If she hasn't been run out by angry locals yet.

Her potions and salves DO work, but not to the extent she often proclaims. Making a real healing potion costs a lot of time and money. It also sells for five times the wage of the average wasteland farmer or three times that of the town's blacksmith, so she often waters them down to the price people can afford.
Giving a blacksmith a +1 to his CON, and he'll work a lot harder with less effect and get more done. That's more than worth a day's pay, or a potion that heals 1 hp for cheap will still be a lot to a commoner who has 4 to 6 hp total. That's enough to heal taking a shovel to the face after all.

Of course the demoltions and explosives are... not as much in demand, but she loves a very big boom. So Bounty hunting is never out of the question.

Ivanna is a dimentional counterpart to Iva Robotnik. A version that was born naturally in a fantasy world that never knew robotnik. Iva's own tampering with omniversal devices and science has of course left an imprint of her on various worlds. Ivanna is sort of the footprint left behind by Iva's hopping to her world.
