Summary

Ingrid is a fictional character featured in JG Wentworth's Viking-themed brand mascot campaign, serving as the cheerful, optimistic villager whose relentless positivity and kindness repeatedly prove more effective than skeptics expect.
  • Ingrid is one of several Viking characters created by JG Wentworth to personify different financial personality types and customer attitudes toward money management.
  • Despite being labeled naive by her fellow villagers, Ingrid's optimistic approach resolves conflicts and produces positive outcomes in scenarios where conventional strategies fall short.
  • Ingrid's character superlative is "Most Likely to Fall for a Pyramid Scheme," reflecting a lighthearted acknowledgment of the financial blind spots that overly trusting consumers can face.
If Ingrid's optimism sounds familiar and you are ready to take a smarter approach to your finances, explore JG Wentworth's debt relief and structured settlement solutions to find the right fit for your situation.

The lovable Ingrid is relentlessly optimistic. She’s so cheerful that even Cantankerous Sven can’t help but melt when she’s around. She treats every day like it’s the best of her life, marveling at the beauty of the world around her.

Needless to say, most of the villagers see Ingrid as somewhat naïve, and who can blame them? Ingrid once told everyone that a gallant knight asked for her hand in marriage, but it turned out that “knight” was just Leif, the butcher’s boy, wearing a fake mustache. (Unfortunately, the relationship did not last.) Another time, she kissed a donkey because someone told her it was a prince trapped in an equine body. (That relationship didn’t last, either.)  

But sometimes Ingrid’s optimism comes in handy, like the time a longboat full of raiders was approaching the village. While everyone else prepared for battle, Ingrid decided to make pies to welcome the invaders. Well, it turned out the raiders were so tired and hungry from the voyage that they dropped their weapons the second they smelled those pies. People laugh at Ingrid, but her kindness saved a lot of lives that day—plus, everyone got pie! 

 

Superlative

Favorite Hobby

Fun Fact

Ingrid never leaves her house without her lipstick, extra bobby pins, and a pocket mirror. 

It takes a village…
