" I know, but... we've been together for so long... and we're so far from Sweden." — Ingrid to Cassidy in "Wastelands"
Ingrid is a character in Life is Strange 2. She travels with her partner, Anders. During Episode 3, she is met by Sean and Daniel Diaz at a campsite in Humboldt County, California.
Personality[]
Ingrid is a generally friendly and upbeat girl, almost always sporting a positive attitude. She at times can get annoyed however, like when Anders forgets to lock their tent while going to work on the weed farm. She also seems to have a very caring side to her, as it's implied she keeps an eye on Daniel when Sean isn't around, as well as expressing worry if Daniel accidentally hurts himself while cutting weed buds at the farm.
Appearance[]
Ingrid has medium-length blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, with a few loose strands pushed behind her ear. She wears a navy sports jacket with an orange zipper over a blue, orange, and green striped sweater; black jeans with rolled-up calves; grey socks; and olive-and-red hiking boots with bright red laces.
Background[]
Ingrid and Anders are from Malmö, Sweden. In order to raise enough money for a trip to North America, she worked for three years in a coffee shop.[1] After running out of money mid-trip, the couple decided to join the drifters in their work on the plantation in order to earn enough to continue their travels.
Episode Three - "Wastelands"[]
After waking up at the camp, Sean makes himself a cup of coffee and sits down with Ingrid and Penny, who are conversing about the government's planned legalization of cannabis. After Ingrid informs him that Daniel went down to the lake with Finn, Sean finishes his coffee and leaves the table.
On the ride to the pot farm, Ingrid and Anders can be heard arguing over whether he remembered to lock the tent. At the farm, Ingrid trims weed buds with Cassidy, Hannah, Sean, and Daniel in Merrill's house while the rest clean up the pot farm after last night's storm.
After returning to the camp at sunset, Sean can find Hannah peeling potatoes by the campfire while arguing with Ingrid and Anders over whether homeless people should be held responsible for the state of the environment. If Sean joins Hannah in peeling potatoes before they finish, he can try and help back either side of the argument.
During the party at night, Sean can overhear Ingrid asking Cassidy for advice on whether or not to break up with Anders. After going up to speak with them, Ingrid senses that they want to be alone and leaves them to talk.
After finishing his conversation with Cassidy, Sean can speak with Ingrid by the campfire, where she tells him that he can go through hers and Anders' leftover things by their tent. If Sean does so, he can find a dalahäst, a swedish wooden ornament, which he keeps as a souvenir.
