          Ingrid is a woman from Arendelle who possesses ice powers that as a girl she finds difficult to control. Her sisters Helga and Gerda are initially supportive of her magic, though following an incident where Helga is accidentally killed due to Ingrid's powers, Gerda traps her in a magical urn. Developing her powers and taking on the alias of the Snow Queen, Ingrid is unintentionally released from the urn years later, meeting her niece Elsa, who also possesses similar ice powers of her own. The two form a bond until Elsa's sister Anna returns from a trip and is suspicious of Ingrid's motives. Ingrid casts a spell on Anna, leading her to trap Elsa inside the urn. Rumplestiltskin steals the object in exchange for Merlin's magical hat. Ingrid then visits the Apprentice once more, offering him the hat in exchange for a portal to the real world in order for Ingrid to find a new family of sisters. In New York City, 1982, Ingrid fosters a young Emma Swan, but loses her after attempting to prove to Emma that she is magical. Ingrid later travels to Storybrooke, and using the alias Sarah Fisher, she takes over an ice cream parlor, Any Given Sundae, from Dopey. [31] When Emma is drawn to the town, she has a heated argument with Emma who believes Ingrid is following her. She then erases Emma's memory of their time together to continue living in Storybrooke.
