personality:
Ingrid is generally very quiet unless she knows a person fairly well. Because of her ability she limits her skin to skin contact with others to keep her visions at bay. She is sometimes stubborn and generally goes against the status quo. It sometimes makes her a loner of sorts, but she enjoys the solitude once in a while.
Video games are an absolute favorite hobby of hers and she can get pretty riled up when playing with another person. She becomes competitive and highly agitated when she doesn’t win.


history:
• Was born to Annika and Oliver Richards, a fairly wealthy couple.
• Started showing signs of ability around age five.
• Because of her sudden outbursts anytime she touched a person her parents assumed she had a sensory disorder.
• Taken to many doctors but no one could properly diagnose her. It wasn’t until one of Ingrid’s teachers who had been under Helen Magnus’ care for several years referred them to the good Doctor. It was there that they had their answers.
• Annika and Oliver were not very receptive at first but after much urging from Doctor Magnus they brought Ingrid to the Old City Sanctuary twice a week so Helen could help her control her ability and not let it consume her.
• At a certain point Ingrid’s mother started drinking and developed a problem. To this day she still doesn’t know what started it, only that it made her life a bit difficult growing up.
• It was Helen who inspired her to go to med-school. She wanted to make a difference in people’s lives like Helen made in hers.
• After she graduated med-school, Helen offered her a position at the New York Sanctuary since Terrance Wexford had stepped down. She was more than happy to accept.

It had been nearly a week since Ingrid had meditated properly. Because of the Hollow Earth issue she had put the task on the proverbial back-burner and it was already taking its toll on her. Currently she was sitting in her lab going over tissue samples from several of the Hollow Earth refugees and her head was pounding with all of the visions she had experienced. She groaned out loud and pushed herself away from her desk to go to the medicine cabinet at the other end of the lab. She took out a bottle of aspirin and tapped out a few into her hand then popped them in her mouth, tilting her head back to dry swallow.
Her head was not in a place to focus on the task at hand, but the Sanctuary network needed her. Though if the aspirin didn’t work she knew she would have to take the time out to sit in her room and meditate. She sighed with the thought and ran her hands through her long, dark hair. She just wanted to catalogue the samples, hand in her report, and discuss their next step. However, the visions that flowed through her head were telling her that the steps ahead were not going to be easy.

[DR HELEN MAGNUS]

Hi! Welcome to the site =) Love the application and the character! I just have one little question. Since being a Doctor, she would require that she needs to make physical contact with her patients in order to diagnose this.

Would her ability be similar to combat like Rogue (In X-men - as an example)? In other words, is it just skin-to-skin contact that makes her ability work? Otherwise as a Doctor, she would always have to wear some sort of gloves to keep her ability at bay.

I know this is only a tiny issue, but if you could give me a little more insight to this, I will gladly accept this application =)

I can't help but notice tiny details like this xD

Ack! I forgot to specify that, LOL. But, yes, when she is with patients she makes sure to wear gloves. As long as she doesn't have any skin to skin contact to where she "shares" electrical nerve signals with a person then she's fine. Though sometimes she can pick up things without contact but those are very rare and the meditation generally keeps things at bay.

[DR HELEN MAGNUS]

Thanks for that! Just wondering =) In that case....

It's great to have you on board =) Make sure to reply to the Face Claim so I can enter your character in =)
