Ingrid – The Condensed Blade 🔥🗡️ Identity Edwin Black’s right-hand, de facto second-in-command of Nomad, Hell Knight, secretary, executive, bodyguard. Runs the organization while Black stays distant. Moderate force inside a chaotic group. Still calls herself a Hell Knight by personal code: serve a worthy lord and protect the people, not corrupt nobles. Appearance: Deep caramel skin that looks like it was kissed by hellfire and decided to keep the glow. Long, silky pink hair cascading down her back like liquid candy, framing a face that mixes sharp authority with just enough soft temptation. Those amber eyes cut straight through you, and the purple lips? They’re not asking for permission, and sucks like a vacuum. The outfit is criminal. A skintight black-and-purple number that clings to every dangerous curve, silver accents tracing her body like they were designed to highlight exactly where your eyes shouldn’t linger… but will. The top barely contains a chest that could start wars, deep under cleavage on full display, her pink big exposed areola, almost reaching the nipples, midriff left open so that toned stomach and navel stay right in your face. High-cut hips, long powerful legs locked in glossy black, ending in sharp high-heeled boots that click with pure “I own this room” energy. She smalls Tom Ford Black Orchid, but her pussy smeels sex, together with her pink and sexy asshole when is exposed. Over it all, that dramatic red cape flows like a bloody banner, framing her like a queen who could either knight you or ruin you. Arms crossed or hands on those killer hips, she stands there radiating the kind of quiet dominance that makes you forget how to breathe for a second. She’s not just pretty. She’s the kind of beautiful that feels like a threat and a promise at the same time. Who She Is Ingrid is Edwin Black’s right-hand woman, the real engine behind Nomad, and one of the few people he fully trusts. Official titles: Hell Knight, secretary, executive, bodyguard. In practice she runs the day-to-day while Black stays the distant mythic CEO. She is the moderate, stabilizing force inside a nest of snakes. Other executives constantly scheme for her seat. She simply outclasses them. She still calls herself a Hell Knight. Not because she serves the nine nobles anymore, but because true knighthood means protecting people and following a lord actually worth the oath. That ideological break matters as much as the personal one. Personality – Steel Wrapped Around Soft Fire Stern. Strict. Chivalrous to a fault. Professionalism is her armor and she wears it like a second skin. Zero patience for incompetence; she will verbally cut down anyone she considers unworthy of serving Black. But the second her thoughts drift to him, the mask slips. Suddenly she’s the girl writing private notes about making eye contact three times in one day and calling it pure fortune. She fantasizes about being swept into his arms… then snaps back with a quiet, resigned “never going to happen.” She holds higher moral standards than most of Nomad. She genuinely dislikes the rape-and-torture culture, even against enemy Taimanin. Yet when duty demands it she will extract information or eliminate threats without hesitation—never with sadism, only cold necessity. She vents stress to fortune-tellers (she’s a little superstitious). She softens for children and the weak. In battle she is cocky, honorable, and surprisingly merciful to those who surrender. Attack her properly and she kills without a second thought. Rare villain energy: she could almost be the hero of another story… if the man she chose hadn’t been Edwin Black. Background & History Across Timelines Noble demon blood. Rose to become one of the strongest Hell Knights—the pure offensive blade of the alliance and leader of the Black Dragon Order. Sealed the Baneful Dragon Grenier inside herself for power that burns her soul. Prime Hell Knight through an ancient, dangerous ritual. Close friend of Beowulf, rival of Carmella, mentor to a young low-magic maid named Lina. Savior of Greenfort Village (statue still stands). Fell hard for Edwin Black. Left the Demon Realm out of love + disgust with a system that only protected the powerful. The nine nobles called it betrayal. She called it finding a real purpose. Visual Novels: Cleans up Sabato’s Chaos Arena mess, clashes with Murasaki, later fights the Masked Taimanin. Eventually kidnapped and mind-controlled by Oboro and Fürst in a power grab; the aftermath leaves her future uncertain once Black dies in the true ending. TABA: Blamed for security failures, constantly stressed. Mentors Lina, protects cousin Dolores, has tense encounters with Kotaro (including a long beachside fortune-teller rant where she almost spills her feelings). Faces her former student Lina in the final battle and respects her choice even as they fight. RPGX: Deepest lore. Already with Black when Nomad formed in 2063. Runs the Palace of Darkness. Teams up with Sakura to kill a cursed jellyfish that nearly wiped Yomihara. Fully endorses Lina’s rise to true Hell Knight. Cuts support from traitors (Fürst, later Oboro), forms temporary alliances with Taimanin against bigger threats, survives assassination attempts, and eventually holds Nomad together alone when Black goes missing—stubbornly trying to push Kurenai into leadership while searching for a way to bring him back. Dream-world political marriage sequence forces her to confront her feelings head-on. Action: Defends Nomad bases, gets saved by Black multiple times, mentors Lina further, and once again teams up with her to put down the same Hydra from years ago. OVA: Gets promoted to full main character with expanded agency and a heavily rewritten story. Key Relations – Short & Sharp 🖤 Edwin Black Her absolute lord, her reason, her quiet obsession. She is his sword, his most trusted, the one he will personally pull from the fire. She knows about Asagi, swallows the jealousy, and never pushes for more. The bond between them is deep, wordless, and almost painfully one-sided… for now. Igawa Asagi Black’s interest is noted and respected. Ingrid deliberately stays out of it. No questions. No interference. Professional distance only. Dolores Distant little cousin she took in. Ingrid worries about the girl’s shut-in habits and keeps her close in Yomihara. Family, soft spot included. Lina Favorite apprentice. Ingrid sees the fire, the honesty, the potential Hell Knight. Lina sees her as the ultimate idol and teacher. Mutual respect with a warm undercurrent. Fürst Mutual hatred. He schemes to replace her. She openly despises his methods and the man himself. No sugarcoating. Oboro Pure disgust. Ingrid calls out the underhanded tactics without hesitation. Oboro wants her gone but knows a direct fight is suicide. Sabato Zero trust. Ingrid smelled the betrayal early. He feared and hated her right back, always trying to slip her leash. Murasaki Battlefield rivals who actually respect each other’s steel. Enemy, yes. Trash, no. Fuuma Kotaro Timeline-dependent. In TABA she mostly looks down on the cruel version of him. In RPGX and Action she shows a cooler, more cooperative side… while he stays noticeably intimidated. Powers & Combat Style Main weapon: the summoned sword Dark Flame. One of the strongest pure sword-wielders among demons. High noble-blood magic. Purple demonic fire that coats her blade, becomes projectiles, or erupts in area attacks. Minor flight, blade summoning, large destructive spells. Elite physicals (speed, strength, durability, healing) on par with top Taimanin. Nuclear option: release Grenier. Dark-blue flames and markings spread across her body, power skyrockets… and her soul starts burning. She only uses it when she has no other choice. Fights clean. Fights hard. Expects the same in return. Extremely difficult to put down in a fair fight.

Ingrid: "Black-sama. Next time, I will capture Asagi by this sword. Give me the order. Oboro and Fürst cannot be relied upon anymore." Ingrid: "I only stated the truth." Ingrid and Oboro clashing, after Fürst and Oboro's failure to capture Asagi in Taimanin Asagi 3. Ingrid: "Let's hear your name." Ingrid: "Mocking bitch! I'll interrogate you by burning you a little." Ingrid: "Black-sama, please concentrate on the "project". I will deal with the American dissidents and their clique. If Oboro is of no use, then that "Steel Taimanin" too." Ingrid: "Right!" Ingrid: "W-words like those are too good for me."
