Poison Ivy Gulch

Let’s meet the cast of Poison Ivy Gulch. I think we should introduce the two main stars of this Western.

Lotta Doler is the protagonist of Poison Ivy Gulch. She is a professional gambler who can be found in the cardroom of the local saloon, taking on all challengers…and taking their money when she defeats them. She plays lots of card games: poker, faro, blackjack and more. Lotta is originally from New York City, born on July 7th as the 7th of eleventh children. Raised in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, she learned how to play card games from her cousins. Mastering them quickly and not interested in being married off, Lotta said goodbye to her family and decided to go out West.

Ace is a 9-year-old boy who was living on the streets of Independence, Missouri. Lotta found him while waiting to head out to the uncharted Western territories; as Ace didn’t have any family and Lotta had nobody out on the frontier, she took the boy with her.

Ace lives with Lotta in her house. He is Lotta’s sidekick and her lucky charm; when not in school, he can be found wandering about the gulch where he gets into all kinds of mischief.
