**Ingrid *"*Inga*"* Fey Yuikawa** is one of the 14 main characters of the TWICE Songfix series. She's the 16-year-old daughter of Jin and Astrid Yuikawa, who are both members of the police department, with her father as a private investigator- where she mostly got her love for detective work. Ingrid's main responsibility is making sure her niece, Twix Fey is always safe, with her best friends Noah and Louise by her side.

Ingrid Yuikawa is based on **Amree Aguinaldo**, her counterpart, who is also the base of Anna Min-Sinclair of After Solstice (November 2020) and **Illana Libitina/Taylor Flynn** from Libitina: Unmasked (December 2020).

## **Early Life**

Ingrid was born on July 4, 2004 to her parents **Jin** and **Astrid Yuikawa**. She went to three years of pre-school, and when her classmates bully her for being too intelligent, she's been homeschooled until her first year of high school. At some point (most probably at age 13) she became a guardian of Twix Fey- her cousin once removed, although she calls Twix her niece- alongside Noah Dalton, who's been her longest and oldest friend.

Her parents enrolled Ingrid to Silverfall Hope Institute, where she was a quiet student as a freshman- she doesn't know how to interact with other people since she was always in her house, and she doesn't have a lot of friends to begin with. Ingrid meets the majority of her friends in her current friend group in her first year, and by then she's considered as an extrovert.

## **Personality**

Whenever she's in dangerous and serious situations, she could be very uptight, bossy, and demanding, which her friends and schoolmates describe as scary, although Ingrid means well. Ingrid doesn't condone joking in situations like these, and would act more mature than how she usually is outside of her detective self. She's usually one of the few first responders to everything, alongside Louise Hillman and Ethan Morales. Even though she's not the oldest person in the group, she acts as an older sister to everyone; prioritizing others (especially Twix) before anything else.

Ingrid is a sarcastic, caring, and loyal friend who is typically comedic and funny. She's also against bullies and delinquents, and in turn bullies wouldn't even try to be under her radar. Because of the bullying she experienced when she was young, causing her to be homeschooled by her parents, she now knows how to handle them well and wouldn't fight back using violence. As much as possible, Ingrid uses talking down as her main tactic against mean people- an example of this is talking to Althea Anastasakis in MORE & MORE.

## **Physical Appearance**

Ingrid has purple eyes and long black hair in MORE & MORE and DTNA, but cut her hair to shoulder-length in **Merry and Happy**, and dyed a part of her hair dark purple to have a purple streak on the left side of her head. She has a silver locket around her neck, and she matches charms with Louise, which she clips on her belt.

#### **MORE & MORE**

In MORE & MORE, she wears a leather jacket with silver linings over what seems to be a purple tube top, and she wears the Serene Cove Police Department band around her left upper arm. She wears fishnet fingerless gloves and fishnet stockings. Inga wears two somehow lopsided light purple belts, and the upper belt has the mentioned charm clipped on. She wears dark gray jeans and she has black platform boots that boost her height to 3 inches.

#### **Dance the Night Away**

In DTNA, she ties her hair to a high ponytail, and she wears a light purple off-shoulder top and denim shorts. She wears a black henna choker around her neck, accompanied by a now longer chain strap for her silver locket. Ingrid wears a single fishnet glove on her left arm, and had her right forearm bandaged by Louise when she got bitten by the yellow-bellied snake. She wears a single belt around her waist and still has her charm attached.

Ingrid wears a cropped dark purple rash guard with white sleeves as a swimsuit, and a white number 9 on the left side. Silverfall's logo is on a band around her right arm, nodding that the swimsuit is her "jersey" as a swimmer representing her school. She wears training shorts with the same shade of purple and white linings and ribbon. Usually, she ties her hair in a low bun when she goes swimming.

#### **YES or YES**

She wears a white shirt under a dark purple denim jacket with short sleeves in YES or YES, wears the same SCPD band on her left upper arm, and has her single fishnet glove on the same arm. Her locket is now on collarbone-length again, and she wears her charm attached to the same two belts she wears in MORE & MORE. Her jeans are colored gray, and she wears black platform shoes. Ingrid has her now shoulder-length hair down, with a side ponytail updo, and she wears a gray sling bag across her torso.

#### **Alcohol-Free**

For the Tropical Party, Ingrid wears a white tube top with blue linings along the top and bottom hems. She wears a pencil mini-skirt with a small slit on the left side; a white colored sash wrapped around the skirt tied to the left side of her waist. She has two white bangle bracelets around her left hand, and on her right hand is a black fingerless fishnet glove. Her shoes are black with straps up her legs. Ingrid's hair is left down, and her purple streak isn't visible.

Her casual wear consists of a black long-sleeved turtleneck, and a purple version of the pencil mini-skirt she wore before, without the slit. Ingrid wears fishnet stockings and black knee-high boots for footwear. She has her silver locket around her neck, and she has a single purple belt around her waist that carries her silver heart charm. Her hair is tied into a high ponytail.

## **Trivias**

* If the series were to be combined into one long film, Ingrid will be the overall protagonist with Louise as the deuteragonist, and the tritagonists will be both Noah and Twix.
* Biologically speaking, Ingrid and Twix are first cousins once removed, but it is common in a family that you call your cousin's child your niece or nephew, which Ingrid does to Twix. Twix calls her "auntie" in return.
* Noah calls Ingrid "Yui" from her surname "Yuikawa", since it sounds like a Japanese name alone. Also, Noah is the only character in the entire series to call her "Yui".
* Ingrid is the only main character in the series to not have a second name, and "Fey" is her mother's maiden name. The only reason why Twix's surname is Fey is because Ingrid's cousin is Twix's father.
* She's shown to be as competitive with sports and academics towards other people, Ethan Morales for sports, and Rei Sotaro for academics, although it's been stated explicitly that both Ethan and Rei are better than Inga in both sports and academics.
* She has matching charms with Louise, Louise has a gold star and she has a silver heart.
* Ingrid is the first out of three characters in the TWICE series to only have a single first name (Lucien Noahcello, Louisianna Laine, Trixie Tianna, Nien Abel, Reiji Ryouma, Kim Chienna, Briar Rose, Brandon Bryce, Gavriel Ivan). The second and third being Ethan Morales and Nathan Cortez.
* Louise's nickname for her, "Miss Gumshoe", is a nod to an Ace Attorney character, Detective Dick Gumshoe. On the other hand, Rei Sotaro and Noah Dalton's nicknames are "Edgeworth" and "Wright" respectively, which are also references to Ace Attorney characters Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright, a prosecutor and a defense attorney.
* She's the only female character to have her hair dyed to an unnatural color. The second character would be Gavin with his blue highlights, and Nathan has his hair bleached. Since Twix is too young and she just has pink extensions, it doesn't count.
