Name: Ingrid Bernstein
Canon: Freezing
Age: 17
Timeline: Before her fight with Satellizer
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality:
The first thing immediately apparent about Ingrid is her serious demeanor. She rarely smiles—or emotes much at all, really. She is a stoic sort of person, her emotions—positive and negative both—rarely coming across outwardly. She also seems to be generally aloof and lacking in patience for frivolity; though she and Attia are on the student council together and shown cooperating several times throughout the series, when Attia first approaches her during her introduction, Ingrid responds coolly and tells her that unless she has something important to say, she isn't going to waste time talking.
Ingrid is a fierce believer in order. In her mind, rules and hierarchy are absolute. She serves as the student council's enforcer, and due to her past experiences, her punishments to those who break the rules are harsh and unforgiving. She is of the opinion that everything will work out for the better if everyone follows the established order, and that this order was created for a reason. Rules exist to protect the collective, and therefore prevent people from coming to harm, after all. Her devotion to order is, therefore, devotion to protecting the people around her in her own mind.
This can lead to her taking actions that people would deem honorable—allowing Satellizer to correct something that would have given Ingrid an advantage before their fight, for example—or it can lead to her going completely overboard. In that same fight, Ingrid attempts to rip tissue grafted into Satellizer's nervous system out of her back, as well as exceed the length of time it is safe to spend in Pandora Mode, endangering her own health, simply because she refuses to lose and allow her opponent to get away with breaking the established rules. Whether or not her ideals are reasonable, she has no trouble backing them up with action.
Under normal circumstances, Ingrid is capable calmly assessing situations and acting decisively, making the soundest logical choice with the information available to her. However, once she has been provoked, she can and will respond with extreme and often excessive aggression. For example, she initially calmly lectures Satellizer about the flaws in her battle tactics during their fight, but as the situation escalates and it becomes clear that Satellizer will not be cowed, her own actions become increasingly frenzied and forceful. Ingrid is an intense person, and she only becomes more so when pushed.
She is also extremely loyal, in part because of her concept of order. She sees abandoning a comrade—something that often functionally means leaving them to die—as unforgivable, and she would never break rank and weaken a battle formation. When it comes to friends and people she admires, that loyalty is only more intense; she nearly came to blows with another Pandora when they claimed the student council's former leader, who had recently retired, was a traitor. Saying such things about someone she cares for is simply not something she can accept.
Background: Freezing wiki
Strengths/Weaknesses:
As a Pandora, Ingrid's physical capabilities are far above those of a normal human beings. However, the alien tissue that grants her these abilities also causes mental and physical corrosion. Hypothetically, this could cause her to "Nova-ize," or turn into something very similar to the extra-dimensional aliens she was altered to fight. It's not likely, but the stronger a Pandora is and the more often they push their abilities to their limit, the faster this corrosion happens.
Mentally, Ingrid is extremely focused on the concept of order and rules, which can cause her to be too rigid and unreasonable in how she approaches situations. As with many Pandora, she shows a tendency to be emotionally volatile and excessively violent when provoked.
Abilities:
Ingrid is something known as a Pandora, which is a physically enhanced soldier created for the purpose of fighting giant extra-dimensional aliens. This grants her speed, strength, and durability far beyond that of a normal human, as well as several other abilities.
In terms of strength, Ingrid was able to break through concrete walls with a single blow, both while unarmed and otherwise. Pandora also heal extremely quickly, and are capable of taking damage far beyond what a normal human can while still surviving. They have also been shown to be able to do things like reattach severed arms when medically assisted.
Pandora are able to utilize something called a volt texture, which allows them to recombine matter to mumblemumblepseudoscience create material. This has been shown to be used to make clothing, reinforced armor, and weaponry. Ingrid's volt weapon is a pair of bladed tonfa. She is extremely proficient in their use, her attacks being quick and lacking in excess movement. She is also able to follow her opponents' movements without the use of her eyes. Of all the third year students in West Genetics, she is ranked seventh.
As a third year student, she is able to utilize something called high end skills. More specifically, she is able to use both accel turn (an ability sharply increasing her speed in a single boost) and tempest turn (an ability creating a number of shadow doubles of herself for a short period of time).
Ingrid can also utilize something called Pandora Mode, which consists of armoring herself and allowing her to operate within a freezing (movement restriction) field unassisted for a duration of five minutes. Exceeding that length of time causes a sharp increase in the stigmata's corrosion effect.

[Ingrid steps off the train in what may as well be her underwear. She's barefoot, clothed in nothing but a pair of track shorts and a sports bra. Her state of dress is the last thing on her mind, however. Certainly, it's of no concern when compared to the larger issue at hand: she doesn't know where she is or how she got here. It's not a situation she ever expected to face, mostly because kidnapping a Pandora is both highly dangerous and highly foolish. Does the culprit understand what will happen once the Chevalier hear word of this?]
[Despite her circumstances, there's no panic in her mind as she assesses the situation. In fact, you might even say it's because of her circumstances. After all, when faced with a situation like this, being able to calmly assess the facts can be the difference between life and death.]
[Later, once she has gleaned as much information as she can, she addresses the communicator that arrived with her. She has taken the time to correct her state of dress by now, dressed tidily in her school's uniform when she broadcasts. First impressions are important, after all.]
This is Ingrid Bernstein of West Genetics. If there are any Pandora receiving this transmission, please respond. [The words are delivered with professional coolness. She's the real picture of a soldier, despite her age. Her expression is serious but emotionless, even as she adds:] I need to return as soon as possible, so I would like to coordinate our efforts. There is an important task I have been assigned, and I must complete it.
Third Person:
Even if she were trapped here, Ingrid wasn't about to be lax in her training. No— Especially if she were trapped here. It wouldn't do at all for her to return to the school with her skills rusty. As a member of the student council, it was important for her to serve as an example of discipline to the younger students, and... Well, she still had Satellizer's punishment to deliver. It wouldn't do anyone any good if she couldn't even do that upon her return.
The monsters in the park weren't the kind of thing she was used to facing, but she didn't think of that as a bad thing, necessarily. Knowing how to kill them wouldn't help her against other Pandora, and it wouldn't help her against the Nova, but unforeseen circumstances happened. Bettering her skills in adaptability and improvisation could only benefit her, and she could just think of this as practice for thinking on her feet, as would be necessary on a real battlefield.
A third year student, materializing her volt weapon in hand required no more thought from her than breathing. She crouched, and then she zipped forward, her speed faster than what any normal human was capable of—and then faster than the human eye could track, Ingrid propelling herself forward with the most powerful accel turn she could manage. She could only guess at the anatomy of these creatures, but when her blow connected with what she assumed were its ribs, she heard the satisfying crunch of bone. Her force and momentum were such that the monster went careening away, tumbling across the grass and dirt.
She chased it. She wouldn't allow her opponents to escape.
