When seventeen year old Ingrid woke up in the forest, she couldn't remember who she was, where she came from or much else at all. All she knew was her name, and that something was very wrong. The people of Berk were kind to her; Hiccup Haddock in particular helped her to locate her lifelong partner: a Flightmare named Aurora. Together with Aurora, Ingrid embraced Viking life; training the most fearsome creatures, defending Berk against rouge dragons and dealing with the occasional admirer. But how will Ingrid react when her mysterious past is brought to light? What will the future hold for Ingrid, as we see her grow older, stronger and wiser? And, as Snotlout so desperately wants to know, who will Ingrid eventually fall for? Chapters 1-23: Directly after Defenders of Berk. Chapters 24-27: At least one year after Race to the Edge, maybe longer? HTTYD2 does not exist in this canon. I want all of my blorbos alive and well, thank you. About Ingrid: Ingrid was originally designed as a joke after I realised how much Mary Sue OC content Riders/Defenders of Berk has just ripe for the picking. She was meant to be every kids Mary Sue, except tolerable enough for me to write about. I stole backstory ideas, I came up with stupid things which would never be canon (e.g. glowing algae works on humans), and I had so much fun while doing it. As I kept writing, however, Ingrid strayed away from her ironic roots and became a genuine character, somehow? I unironically love this hot mess of a character. Sure, she's a Mary Sue, but that's literally the point. The path from "I hate Mary Sues" to "I love Mary Sues" is a pipeline.
