From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

Appearance
Ingrid's long tresses contain every shade of her former blue roan coat, and she often wears her hair in a ponytail, ironic as that may be. Anyone who remembers her from Helovia or The Rift will know her by her deep scarlet eyes. She stands a little taller than average, and her build is lean. In Halo, you will find her bundled in about as many layers as a croissant has. That said, whenever travelling to warmer climates, she likes to take full advantage of her fleeting wardrobe freedom, so you will definitely be seeing her bra. Got a problem with that? She'll bite you. Horse manners.
Personality
Ingrid is still the boozing, smoking, crass priestess-to-be you know and love. A devoutly religious delinquent, Ingrid is reckless and high-strung, and she swears like a sailor. Still, she’d much rather learn about legends and gods than fight in battles. She’s a tad vain, and she doesn't think scars would look very good on her. She's matured some since the RP-verse last saw her, so she's now a tad more likely to keep her thoughts inside her head. However, she retains her rebellious spirit and her tendency to refer to even the most esteemed of nobles as “m’bitch” with enough whiskey.
History
CHILDHOOD
Ingrid was born in the kingdom of New Rheven. Found in the woods as a filly with her brother, she was raised in a monastery. She and Raziel had spend ages learning the name and legend of each god in their land. One day, the king had handed down a punishment to Raziel for a crime he hadn't committed, and Ingrid, being who she is, gave the king a piece of her mind. For that, she was cast into exile.
HELOVIA
Ingrid came to Helovia fairly young and almost immediately joined The World's Edge. She joined the ranks of the Wise Ones, and began became somewhat close to the other knowledge seekers. She was thrilled by the divine grace of the Goddess of the Moon, the herd's patron deity. She was especially close with a mare named Akumi, and she even befriended Rikyn, the Aurora Basin leader who shared her cheap wit. She was just starting to feel at home when it was all ripped away from her.
"As the God of the Earth and the Goddess of the Moon's body exploded in a fit of rubble and starlight, the shimmery magic cast onto the portal by the Gods began to waver."
THE RIFT
Ingrid regrouped with Akumi on the other side of the portal, feeling lost and without place in the world. She attempted to gather the others unsuccessfully as she saw her people scatter across the lands, herdless and aimless. At the very least, she found a few of the Wise Ones again. Then, one day while exploring the outskirts of Riftean territory, she vanished without a trace. Unbeknownst to everyone, she had fallen through a portal and found herself in Halo, 309 PC, in a human body.
CAIDO
Ingrid arrived in Halo about a year ago from The Rift. She was still brokenhearted about the loss of her Lady Moon, but The Citadel presented her with a simple choice: move forward or die. So, she adapted, learned how to cope with her human form, and started learning about the gods all over again. It did not take long for her to decide that her allegiance rested firmly with the Old Gods, but she resists becoming an attuned. She views her channeling as a connection to the divine, and she doesn't want that connection to be severed. Before the portal came back online, she'd never seen another Helovian transfer, so meeting anyone from Helovia will come as quite a shock.
Other
While Ingrid has decided to devote herself to all the Old Gods, she has also always been the type to pledge herself to one deity more than the others. She finds herself praying most often to Caido, knowing full well that her prayers will never be answered by the absent creator. Instead, she hopes that some way, somewhere, the god is able to hear her gratitude for this world that caught her when she needed it most. She tries her best to carry out what his will may have been and strives to be a peacemaker. She is also sterile due to a congenital issue.
