I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. Finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this for figuring that out.

I started reading [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]]'s works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. I finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I've got some miscellaneous resources and notes on this page, as well as a vague list of [[#Projects]] and my [[#Subpages]].

I'm also a [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keeper]] and member of the [[Coppermind:Synod|Synod]], which basically means I'm someone you can come to if you want some help getting started on the Coppermind, have any questions about wiki policies or guidelines, want some advice on how to handle something, think there's something that needs to be done that you don't have permissions for, run into an issue with another editor, or otherwise need help with something Coppermind-related.

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.

=== Early Days of the DDF and the Battle of Alta ===
  
  +
−
Prior to the Battle of Alta, Ivans was the flightleader for Cobb and Chaser's flight and argued that Chaser should be allowed in the DDF despite having the defect. As the Krell descended prior to the Battle of Alta, she was outspoken in urging the DDF to fight, despite the high number of incoming Krell. In the battle, she gave Chaser permission to fly up to space after he promised that he could control the defect. When he returned and began attacking DDF pilots, she gave the order to shoot him down, though her name was redacted in the official report. After the battle, to protect his family, she insured that the official report said Chaser turned coward and tried to fly away rather than that he was a traitor.

Some time after the Battle of Alta, she realized that she was getting too old to fly and became Admiral of the DDF; she may have spent some time as a junior admiral between retiring as a pilot and assuming command of the entire DDF.

=== General quality ===
−
As a military commander, Ivans is cautious and reluctant to commit the entirety of her forces. However, she has a limited number of both pilots and acclivity rings and lowers the standards to be accepted as a cadet and sends up less experienced cadets just to be able to fend off the Krell incursions.

  +
==== Keep an eye on ====
−
When Spensa attempts to take the pilot's test, Ivans specifically orders that she is not to be admitted, personally supervises the administration of the test, and gives Spensa a test to be a sanitation worker, not a pilot. Later, Cobb forces her to allow Spensa to be enrolled in his class, but she forbids Spensa from using any of the Flight School facilities in an effort to make Spensa's life so difficult that she drops out. After seeing Chaser turn on her flight members, she is terrified of someone else with the defect joining the DDF.

=== De-stubbing the cosmere ===
−
As her number of pilots and acclivity rings dwindles, she eventually decides to make a bold strike for a shipyard in a decaying orbit. When a lifeburster slips past, she is forced to send a scout flight to destroy it. When a second lifeburster makes it past the death ring, she authorizes Spensa to shoot it down regardless, in the hopes of saving Igneous.

Copper (Feruchemy).svg A Keeper on the Coppermind.
Copper (Book 3).svg A member of the Synod on the Coppermind.
5.05 User has been around for 5.05 years.
10K User has contributed 10000 edits to the Coppermind.
250K User has contributed 250000 bytes to the Coppermind.

I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. I finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I've got some miscellaneous resources and notes on this page, as well as a vague list of #Projects and my #Subpages.

I'm also a Keeper and member of the Synod, which basically means I'm someone you can come to if you want some help getting started on the Coppermind, have any questions about wiki policies or guidelines, want some advice on how to handle something, think there's something that needs to be done that you don't have permissions for, run into an issue with another editor, or otherwise need help with something Coppermind-related. Feel free to contact me via any of the options listed on my talk page.

I often take inspiration for edits from things I see in Special:RecentChanges so if I edit something you just did, it's probably not because you did anything wrong, I just saw something else on the page that I thought could be improved.

My thousandth edit came in the middle of a spree to fix the book parameter in all the Skyward infoboxes and my ten thousandth edit was adding a disambiguation note to between Tindwyl and Tindwyl Ladrian (I note that only so that I can remember in five years exactly which page it was).
