Ingrid is the sixth Dragonmarked consort discovered. You first met her in the Dragon’s Fang, when she came before your throne to demand to be taken into your service. Amused and annoyed at the same time, Shaedan prepared to teach this brash young woman a lesson by bodily removing her from his holdfast. But his hand was stayed when Ingrid with little modesty barred her breast and showed her Dragonmark. Accustomed now to these strange Dragonmarked women, Shaedan relented and took her into service.

Ingrid is tall, almost equal in height to Shaedan, being well in excess of six feet tall. She is lithe and slender, but that is largely an illusion created by her great height. In reality she is broad of shoulder, and her entire body is hard muscle – not the bulky muscle of her male kin, but longer and more slender, but no less powerful for that. Her femininity only shines forth under two sets of circumstances – when she walks around in all her naked glory, or when she is dressed to court and in the company of her lover.

Ingrid is not shy or silent or modest; she grew up in the halls of an Rjruik tribe, and spent most of her adolescence in the company of male warriors. She speaks her mind always, regardless of who she is with, and is never afraid to offer critique. Indeed, many find her overly noisome and outspoken, but do they dare try and ask her to be silent? She accords respect only to proven warriors or women of obvious grace (which tends to include Shaedan and all the Consorts save Kieyra).

Ingrid is a warrior woman, the daughter of an Rjurik tribal chieftain from the wild lands of Hugunmark. The Rjurik had long acknowledged the Dragon, but only as an aspect of Erik, and in this they persisted even after the Dragon’s ascension. Things did not change much until Shaedan’s adventures in the service of the Highland King of Rjuvik, after which young Rjurik warriors took to calling upon the Dragon in battle and the priests of Erik declared that this was pleasing to their god.

Ingrid is a warrior born and bred, and only through her skill at arms does she desire to prove her worth to Shaedan and the Dragon. Not for her the comforts of the palace or the politics and planning. By sword or spear, axe or bow, Ingrid is there to smite the enemies of the Dragon. Ingrid is also the appointed ambassador to the lizard folk, and spends a lot of time in the Ondurnee swamp.

Her only other concern is her companionship with Yamela. They are very dedicated to one another, and take great pains to spend what time they have together. Allandra is pretty certain that they have a special bond between them, that they can sense each other like they do Shaedan, and has told Shaedan this. Shaedan on the other hand is fairly certain that they are lovers of sorts, for bond or no bond they seem very committed.

Capabilities: Ingrid Odinsdottir is a warrior at heart, forged in the martial tradition of the Rjurik tribes. Devilishly strong, tough and fast she is a match for even the most skilled of the legion’s martially inclined drakes. Before her relationship with Yamela her feminine and social aspects were largely neglected, but one cannot spend time with a priestess of Laerme and not be affected.
