Update
Contributor "NDN_Shadow" has pointed out that this magazine scan might have been Fake.
"This is a fake character. It was photoshopped, original picture is here: http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o296/Skilletor81/ivyyodawl1.jpg"
Update 2:
Since the poster from the Chinese gaming site also seems unsure of this pic, this is most likely a Fake.
