Slender but not frail, this young woman carried herself with purpose. She is of average height with a softly curved figure. Her eyes are a shade of blue that evokes images of calm seas, her aquamarine gaze turning stormy when her temper starts to build. Hair is usually pinned up in a flawless coif, but when loose reached down to the middle of her back. Blonde waves are shades of sunlight and honey, and frame wholesomely beautiful features. Soft rose-petal lips brighten when given over to smiles, appearing almost sweet.

Ingrid Grimhall is not quite as 'grim' as many of her family members (especially her father) yet she is a serious young woman. Sometimes in conversation it will appear she is not listening at all, but off in her head thinking through a new subject intensely. She gravitates towards people with similar interests, the usually quiet and reserved lady opening up in discussions of law, economics, and other scholarly persuits. More comfortable in small gatherings than large groups of people, but Ingrid knows that sometimes socializing is important for the nobility. She is not easy to get to know, keeping her emotions hidden to all but the few she is close with.
