Ingrid

Ingrid is a cold delphox, only interested in her own pursuits of beauty and power. She is merciless, having little to no sympathy for her prisoners. She keeps the souls of those she has devoured and digested, siphoning their otherworldly energy to fuel her black magic. The shiny delphox might be truly evil to the point of no return, but she still feels lonely at times, which is why she keeps prisoners for a while instead of absorbing their essence right away (unless they are asking for it). Ingrid was adopted by her trainer, the little Fennekin being sold for a very high price because of her different-colored coat. She was cared for by her trainer, primed to eventually become a show-fox. As a Braixen, the pampered Ingrid thought her life could not get any better. Suddenly, she was thrust into an unexpected turn in her life. She was taken to a daycare where she encountered another Braixen—a very handsome, male Braixen who had a shiny coat like hers. Ingrid had no qualms about this and enjoyed her time with the male several times, breeding with him and creating many eggs. However, these eggs were promptly taken from the Braixen, and she soon found out to her horror that the male Braixen was in fact a Ditto! Feeling flabbergasted and betrayed, she also discovered that her trainer no longer cared much for her and hardly visited. Even if she did visit, she never took Ingrid back. The poor Braixen was stuck in the daycare, being sexually abused by the Ditto day in and day out. Ingrid soon met another male Braixen who had his eyes on her. Ingrid was very skeptical of the Braixen, even if he didn't have the same shiny coat as the ditto did. The Braixen, Ignatius, gave her hope that she would escape her predicament. The shiny Braixen eventually spilled her heart out to Ignatius, telling her of how her trainer betrayed her and left her to be abused and to make money off her eggs. Ignatius was angered by this and set out to find her trainer. When he did find her, he completely incinerated the girl, turning her into ashes. Upon telling Ingrid of the deed, the shiny Braixen was furious, believing that her trainer might want to take her back and repent for her actions one day. Now that the chance was gone entirely, Ingrid was filled with a deadly rage. She fought Ignatius in a fiery battle, and both separated from each other to tend to their wounds, escaping into the wilderness. Ingrid's Downfall The female Braixen fended for herself in the wild, discovering different ways to utilize her magic. She chanced upon a Pokemon that partook in black magic, and mimicked what she did, taking a liking to the satisfaction it gave her. In her journey to become proficient in black magic, Ingrid learned a plethora of things about this power, such as the benefits of siphoning younger Pokemon/people and using their essence to make more potent magics. In this journey, Ingrid unfortunately succumbed completely to a life of evil, morphing her into a ruthless and cold-hearted witch. She eventually evolved into a Delphox, her magic being strengthened even further. Attack on Ignatius Many years passed since she evolved into a Delphox, but Ingrid seemed to have never aged, her fur just as luscious and beautiful as it was decades past. This was all thanks to her black magic, which kept her body youthful and full of vigor. Horror stories started to be spread about her in the wild, the female Delphox taking up the nickname Witchfox. Ingrid soon found that Ignatius was nearby, him not having aged quite as well. He was no longer the fox he used to be, having changed significantly. She also found that he had used the human ruins nearby as a haven for other pokemon. Ingrid decided she would do everything in her power to exact revenge against him and tear down his haven. The two would fend each other off in the following years. Enlisting New Help Hildegard the Lucario locates Ingrid, hoping that the Witch can help her with her quest to bring her Master back. Ingrid, impressed with her ability in finding her as well as her raw power, recruits her to do her bidding and instructs her to absorb as much Aura as she is able, claiming that it will help her in the revival process. After Hildegard finishes some jobs, Ingrid is willing to give Hildegard the tumultuous task of taking on Iggy himself in hopes of killing him for good, though the Witch might have wanted to get her hands dirty as well. Autumn's Arrival Ingrid reunites with her daughter. One day, Ingrid senses a psychic signature approaching her abode. Going in hiding, she sees a Braixen inspecting her things in the main chamber. The Braixen is ambushed by the Witchfox, and finds herself clinging onto the edge of a deep hole on the side of the platform. She reaches out, begging her mother to help her as the familiar pounding headache takes hold of her again. The Delphox towering over her rescues her, using a levitation spell to lift her back up and into her arms. Autumn finds comfort at last, embracing her mother. Before they can catch up, Malgam appears, and Ingrid seeks to use him for dinner, shoving him into the bubbling cauldron filled with glowing green liquid. Autumn asks her to let him go, saying that he is a friend. Malgam is released from the cauldron and realizes that this is in fact the Witchfox that the Sanctuary residents talked about, and that Autumn is her daughter. The witch, Ingrid, would lead Malgam and Autumn deeper into the cave for some food and refreshments. Ingrid lashes out. While Autumn indulges Ingrid in her past life being a human's Pokemon, the Braixen segues into meeting Malgam and the Eevee cannot help but puff his chest out, explaining how he conquered his captors and then came across Sanctuary. This sets off Ingrid, causing her to believe the two were spies for the Sanctuary. She attacks them and Malgam manages to steal her wand. Autumn tries to appeal to Ingrid by revealing her knowledge of what happened to the Delphox's trainer, and how Iggy was at fault. The two explain how they were forced to work for him in Sanctuary. Ingrid showers them with self-pity, a purple light glowing at the end of her wand as she tells them about how Iggy has tortured her for years.
