Eleven older sisters (deceased)

*Ingy (EEEn-gee) is a 10( or 11, who knows anymore)-year-old autistic girl. Her home planet was destroyed when one of Mcefi's early missions went wrong. She survived by crawling onto the ship out of curiousity. When Mcefi found her, she took the baby under her wing and raised her. Because they live in a time machine, Mcefi and Ingy didn't age at the same rate. Sometimes Mcefi would go on missions alone and leave Ingy with Hannah. In the time that Mcefi aged six years, Ingy aged nine.*

*Ingy is semi-verbal, so she doesn't talk as much as most children her age. In public she is extremely shy and quiet and uses ASL to communicate, but in the safety of the time-ship she can get very rambunctious. Because of sensory processing issues, she avoids wearing shoes as often as possible and wears socks everywhere. She also loves spaghetti and tapioca pudding, and will refuse to eat much else.*

## Appearance

Although Ingy is from an alien planet, she is best described as mixed race, being Scottish/Korean. She shares her beautiful freckles with her mother and siblings, who also sported similar marks. She gets her long black hair and green eyes from her mother, but her button nose and sunny disposition from her father.

Ingy is a reckless child and full of energy, and as a result she often gets injured. It is common to see her with skinned knees or elbows or with bandages over small wounds she got while playing.

Ingy likes to wear pastel clothing, and is interested in the fairy-kei fashion style. She often refuses to wear shoes, even when going outside, because she cannot stand the texture or tightness of shoes. She likes to wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Ingy often braids her bangs, securing them behind her ear. She prefers to let the bulk of her hair hang loose, but will sometimes tie it up into space buns.

Ingy has very striking bright green eyes which stand out from her dark hair and milky skin. Green eyes were seen as a symbol of royalty on her home planet, and had run in the women of her family for generations.

## Origin

Ingy was born to a prestigious royal family. She was the youngest of twelve girls and no boys, and the last in line for the throne. Her home planet was a matriarch, ruled by her mother.

When Ingy was an infant, her planet was destroyed after Mcefi failed to protect it. Unbeknownst to either of them, Hannah and Mcefi were tasked with opposing missions, with Hannah being hired to destroy the planet, and Mcefi to protect it. After Ingy's mother refused to pay the money she owed to the mercenaries that hired Hannah, her planet went up in flames. Hannah used the time ship to rescue Mcefi at the last moment. However, Ingy had managed to crawl into the ship before the explosion, and was saved by pure luck. It wasn't until she started crying that Hannah and Mcefi realized she had boarded the ship. After realizing that the child was now orphaned, Mcefi swore to protect her raise her as her own child. Hannah has never told Mcefi or Ingy that she was the one to destroy the planet.

Ingy as a character was created when the author and artist were playing together as kids. She is one of only three characters who were created then and are still in the comic, the others being Hannah and Mcefi.

Ingy's name was made up by the artist, and for years while it was canon that 'Ingy' was short for something, neither the author nor artist had fully decided what it was short for. It was around 2016 when her full name was finally decided.

## Trivia

* Because they live in a time machine, Ingy aged faster then Mcefi did.
* In early versions of the canon, Ingy did not speak English, and instead only spoke an alien language. However, as the years passed, both the author and artist forgot the alien language they had made up as children and Ingy was changed to speak English.
* Ingy is autistic.
* Ingy sometimes speaks in third person or in broken sentences when she is nervous or upset. This is based on the artist's own speech problems.
* Ingy is incredibly smart and studies medicine for fun. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up.
* Ingy's favorite color is purple.
