Ingrid

Early Life
Ingrid is the daughter of Count Galatea and a childhood friend of Dimitri, Felix, and Sylvain. Ingrid was engaged from birth to Glenn of House Fraldarius, and they were in the way to actually fall in love, but her fiance was killed during the Tragedy of Duscur when she was 13 years old. This event caused her to hold a grudge towards the people of Duscur to this day.

Despite her noble birth, her family has fallen on hard times because their lands are poor and unsuited for agriculture. Ingrid has a tremendous amount of pressure to marry by her family as she is the sole child to inherit a Crest.

Academy Phase
Ingrid enrolls in Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180, as a Blue Lion and later Joins the Black Eagles.

An unnamed noble of rising status proposes to her out of the blue, much to the concern of Dorothea. Though frustrated by her father's constant attempts arrange a new suitor for her, she decides to at least look into her potential husband when he offers a rather hefty dowry in return for their marriage.

After surveying him, she decides that she will decline his offer. On their way back, they are suddenly ambushed by a merchant leading several hired mercenaries attempting to kidnap her by request of the noble. Repelling the mercenaries with help from Dorothea and the black eagle house, Ingrid returns home to report the incident to her father. Upset that the noble would attempt to kidnap her, he sends her Lúin, the Hero's Relic of House Galatea not only because she is the only one who can wield it, but also to help protect her should another noble attempt to endanger her again. After these events Ingrid decides to join the black eagles.

War Phase
When the war breaks out Ingrid acknowledges that having a Crest and being a member of the nobility have caused her and her family nothing but strife and thus agree to fight for Edelgard's ideals, even if it means putting her in conflict with her old friend Dimitri. She attempts to persuade her father into allying with the Empire, believing it would be the best option for their family, but is doubtful if he would agree to do so.

By Imperial Year 1185 she officially leaves House Galatea to fight for the Black Eagle Strike Force.

After the war ended Ingrid whent to serve Sylvain as a knight and after a couple of years they where married. Since Ingrid wanted to start a family she retired from being a knight. They hade three children togheter and loved eachother more than anything in the world.

Ending Quote
 As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of Sreng. Under his leadership, nobles were persuaded that Relics and Crests were not necessary as they'd previously thought. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, he could not have done so without the constant support and counsel of his wife, Ingrid, whose wisdom and tenacity ensured that the people would prosper. Sylvain was ever loyal to his beloved wife. The couple had many children, and while not one of them bore a Crest, they were all equally and wholeheartedly loved.
