Admiral '''Judy Ivans''' (Callsign: '''Ironsides''') is the leader of the [[DDF]].{{book ref|Skyward|5}} She is a [[First Citizen]], and fought in the [[Battle of Alta]]. After [[Zeen Nightshade|Chaser's]] actions during the Battle of Alta, she is terrified of another person with the "defect" (the brain condition that grants access to [[Cytonics|Cytonic]] abilities) becoming a pilot and does everything in her power to prevent that from happening.{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} To that end, she tries to keep [[Spensa]] out of [[Flight School]],{{book ref|sky1|2}} but does not have the authority to stop [[Cobb]] from adding her to his class.{{book ref|sky1|6}} However, in an effort to make life so difficult that Spensa gives up and quits, she issues an order barring Spensa from using any of the Flight School's facilities, including the mess hall and dormitories.
 
She is continually frustrated by the [[National Assembly Leader]]s denial of the existence of the "defect,"{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} removing their children--some of the top pilots--from the DDF,{{book ref|sky1|i|3}} and refusal to send up their private ships to aid the DDF during [[Krell]] attacks.{{book ref|sky1|49}}
