Background / History

Ivanka previously worked as a model alongside Paris Hilton at T-Model Management, a company founded by her father, Old Tang. After graduating from the Wharton School of Business, she entered the family business and launched jewelry, shoe, and clothing ventures under her own name; her jewelry line later partnered with a diamond merchant. Although her products reached department stores, she admits the brand was built and operated through her father's connections and was not highly profitable. 225 226 228

For much of her early career, Ivanka followed her father's plans: studying business, modeling, joining the family company, and acting as the public face of ventures he controlled. Old Tang began placing her in the spotlight at fifteen, including having her host Miss Teen USA. Her growing awareness of his repeated business failures and bankruptcies, however, made her increasingly unwilling to remain dependent on him. 225 226

When Ryan proposes the Spirit Club project, Ivanka initially seeks her father's approval. After Old Tang rejects the first proposal and later attempts to dictate unfair partnership terms, she confronts him over his treatment of his children. She leaves the family business and accepts Ryan's offer to become Spirit Club's CEO, promising to establish an office, recruit staff, and keep the venture operating smoothly. 228 229 231

Ivanka develops into a capable operator for Spirit Club. She manages recruiting, design coordination, franchisee deposits, and negotiations, eventually handling franchisee discussions independently. Jared's involvement through Old Tang and the Kushner Group complicates the project, but Ivanka consistently resists Jared's attempts to turn their professional contact into a relationship. 237 245 246 248

Her relationship with Ryan becomes romantic while she is working in Florida. After returning to New York, she learns that she is pregnant. Though she initially considers ending the pregnancy, she chooses to keep the child and informs Ryan, who agrees to take responsibility. She later remains in Florida during the pregnancy and resumes overseeing Spirit Club operations. 249 252 253 254

Ivanka's parents attempt to control the situation, including offering Ryan money for a non-disclosure agreement. Ryan refuses, stating that Ivanka wants to give birth and that her decision should be respected. Ivanka ultimately accepts a place in Ryan and Taylor's unconventional relationship, moves her belongings to Florida, and assumes authority over household staff when Taylor is away. 261 262 264

Personality

Ivanka begins as cautious and accustomed to deferring to her father, especially on major business decisions. She is aware that her public-facing entrepreneurship is enabled by family resources, and initially worries that she is not qualified to lead independently. 226 231 245

She becomes more direct after entering Spirit Club. Ivanka candidly explains her father's financial motives, challenges his attempts to control her life, and refuses Jared's continued advances despite pressure from both Jared and Old Tang. 229 231 245

In business, she is diligent, organized, and eager to learn. She can recognize when her earlier approach was misguided, values Ryan's trust, and becomes increasingly effective in franchise negotiations and daily operations. 245 248 274

Ivanka is also protective of her independence. She declines Ryan's spending money in Paris, insists that she has her own resources, and seeks to raise her child under her own surname even while accepting Ryan's support. 254 265
