Ingrid- Character description

Her name was Ingrid, a skinny, short girl with a small frame. Yet with her zealous personality and ever-present smile, you'd wonder how such joy could be crammed inside such a tiny child. Her rich, brown eyes would sparkle with such delight at even the simplest things, and she had a habit of tugging on a strand of her close-cropped, dark, curly hair. Her fingernails would usually be dusted with dirt or caked with mud, the same color as her mahogany skin that seemed to glow as radiant as the sun. And Ingrid was indeed like her very own sun, with her infectious grin. When she smiled, a small dimple would appear in her left cheek, giving her a mischevious look. Her good-natured, outgoing, uninhibited personality and confidence made her a charming girl. Her perfect, sweet face with a pointed chin, her captivating, vivid doe-like eyes, and even the grime and dust on her hands was the perfect picture of a free child-- watching the world through wide eyes and a merry soul. Someone... just like Ingrid.
