Ingrid Grimwall

Hi

In her introduction, Ingrid not only happily talks about what she does as an Ultimate, but even has a level of strong confidence in her talent.

When Eva questions whether her job has been made redundant by technology, Ingrid assetively states that she thinks she's better than a machine, as her creations involve the human touch. Damon is even jealous of her confident nature, as he has yet to be compared to a machine, showing that while Ingrid is proud of herself, she's not arrogant about it and can easily vouch about her skills in a way Damon can't.

On the other hand, Ingrid's obsession with her hobby also lead to some rather skewed priorities. During the investigation of Cara's murder, Ingrid casually mentions she uses illegal substances to clean her weaponry, as they do the job better due to less regulations about toxic chemicals, showing her love of metalworking can lead to her even breaking the law. During Cara's trial, when it's brought up how the killer didn't use the assault rifle found near the victim's body despite everyone initially assuming it belonged to the killer, with them instead using the knife to kill the victim, Ingrid states with a smile on her face that "Nothin' beats the sting of a sharpened blade". Despite the seriousness of the situation, Ingrid imagines that the gun didn't even work and that the knife was the surperior weapon, even though her statement is based more on her biased opinion rather than factual evidence, as lampshaded by Kai.

While her obsesstion with blacksmithing can be concerning at times, she also has an enthuastic confidence in her talent some other Ultimates lack.

Forging the sharpest steel in the fires of her backyard, Ingrid was determined to brand her mark in history with her weapons. While most wars are fought today with ranged weapons, the Ultimate Blacksmith finds beauty in melee weapons of old, in both their shapes and fighting-styles.
