Bridget Stanton

Bridget Stanton was a character in QIA. She was also sometimes known as Ingvild Sjældne.
== Biography ==
Bridget was born in 1948 and was still alive in 2022, until history changed in November 2022 when she abducted as a child, aged 9, on the 10th July 1957. This was the second incident of a child being snatched from time that the London Field Team were alerted to, after the case of James Carson. ("Missing")
While many of the abducted children were taken to Portchester Castle in the fifteenth century and remained there together as prisoners for the next twenty-six years, Bridget was taken to eight-century Denmark where she grew up in a remote wooden cabin, under the name Ingvild, until the year 746, when her abductor - revealed to be Fran Grenouille - told her it was 'time to go home'.
A folder of information about Bridget, including photos, records and other data, was stored on a data disc found amongst Alicia Karalis's things, alongside the corrupted folder designated only as ¥o¬ CØ~1 ("Eleven").
In her time back in the twenty-first century, Bridget - still going by the name Ingvild Sjældne - often pretended to be Michaela Aiken, an Australian, on social media (in spite of Fran's disapproval). ("Season Three Prologue", "Ascension")
At some unspecified point in her timeline, Ingvilde assisted Fran in the infraction in Bath, 2022, during which she filmed Tasneem Hafiz of the London Field Team throwing a bomb (that Fran had brought to the church) into the crowd of churchgoers; this footage later found its way into the hands of Matthew Cross and the Linearists, who used it as propaganda against the QIA. However, after the mission, she went to Zealand in the year 1997, but without realising that she had been traced by the team, allowing Iulya Dalca to arrest her and bring her back to London, 2023. While in custody, she refused to cooperate until Sarah Cunnington pretended to be Fran and convinced her to give up information on Fran's next move, which turned out to be the attempted assassination of Amber Harvey, the British Prime Minister. ("Prey", "Predator").
A short while after this, she was incarcerated in the Void as a quantum terrorist. However, some time later, she was brought back out under instruction of Hafiz, with the intention of having her admit that Fran was behind the St Paul's bombing and not Sarah. However, before Ingvilde could confirm this, she was murdered by Fran. ("Destiny")
