## Ingvild

Drawn by Ryushusupercat (Talk)(Talk)

**Ingvild the Caribou** is a member of the Artika Egg Army, and serves under Artika Sub-Boss Ivory the Leopard of the Subzero Glacier Egg Base.

## Physical Description

A somewhat stocky caribou who stands a fair bit over three feet tall, Ingvild has a somewhat short muzzle with a triangular nose, rather large, diamond-shaped ears, and a short, fluffy scut of a tail. Her left antler is partially snapped off, the remaining stump still remaining.

Her fur is primarily Crayola copper in color, with a Dutch white muzzle, eye markings, and inner ears, while her chest, stomach, and underside of tail are also Dutch white in color; she also has Crayola copper "freckle markings" on her cheeks, while the tips of her ears, the bridge of her snout reaching up between her eyes, and her fingers are deep chestnut in color. She has no hair on her head, instead having a large and somewhat messy tuft of fur, and her eyes are bright ube in color. Her antlers are also bone in color.

Ingvild wears the standard Artika Egg Soldier fatigues, which consists of a bright navy blue parka that has white stripes down the arms and faux-fur trim in the hood, sleeve cuffs, and hem, as well as white gloves, black pants, and bright navy blue-colored boots that also have faux-fur trim cuffs.

## Abilities

Ingvild is primarily a front-line fighter, using her respectable physical strength and her Energy Tonfas in combat. The Cybernetic enhancements in her legs, coupled with her species, make her kicking attacks quite formidable, allowing her to shatter stone and dent steel with one strong-enough kick. The Cybernetic enhancements also allow her to run quite fast, at about 60 mph.

She's quite skilled with her Energy Tonfas, and the core of refined Algidite in them gives them an Ice-aligned punch; she otherwise lacks any form of Elemental manipulation. She also carries a laser rifle as a backup weapon, but she's not as good of a shot as the likes of Anja and Gerasim, as she prefers to fight up close instead of sniping from the back lines (hence she rarely bothered to practice with the laser rifle). While her single antler is not quite as effective as having a pair of them, it can still be used to headbutt an opponent in a pinch.

### Extreme Gear: Shivering Stampede

The Extreme Gear that Ingvild predominantly uses to get around in snow-heavy regions.

### Strengths/Resistances

Ingvild has no specific resistances to any Elements or energy-types, although her thick, insulating fur give her some resistance to weak Ice-aligned attacks and cold weather in general. She is quite fast, and can easily outpace slower foes and evade their attacks. The Cybernetic enhancements in her legs give her great running stamina, as well, allowing her to travel for hours even in deep snow; however, she typically opts to use her Extreme Gear for this instead, as it is significantly faster for her.

### Weaknesses

Ingvild has no specific weaknesses to any Elements or energy-types, although her thick fur makes Fire-aligned attacks more dangerous to her, due to the risk of heat exhaustion. Her defenses aren't anything special (although she's a bit more durable on the physical side), therefore she mostly relies on her agility to try and evade potentially devastating attacks. Her overconfidence can, more often than not, come back to haunt her in a fight.

## Personality

A generally laid-back and jovial woman, Ingvild is known for getting along well with the other members of Ivory's regiment, despite her tendency towards sarcasm and somewhat dark humor. However, it's rare for her to be absolutely serious, and she's been known to let her guard down more often than she should, as she's rather cocky, too.

Despite this, she's fiercely loyal to Ivory and the others, although she will readily admit that she fears Dr. Eggman; she's also incredibly stubborn, and its difficult to sway her opinion at times.

Ingvild's known for adoring mint hot chocolate, and she often carries a thermos of it around with her; this tends to earn her much griping from "resident health nut" Gerasim.
