At the time, her focus was on biogenic chemical textile engineering, using genetically modified Darwin's bark spiders hybridized across species with common limpets to produce thread that was elastic, strong, fire-retardant, and resistant to electrical and acid damage. However, the thread cost several thousand dollars per ounce, and none of her research subjects lived beyond a year. She was on the verge of retiring from her research path when she met Torbjörn Lindholm, who saw several practical applications for even small amounts of her fiber (such as advanced circuitry).<ref name = "OverwatchDeclassified"/> Ingrid finished her degree but declined to pursue further work in her field, having found no funding. However, she continued her association with Torbjörn, whom she found charming, intelligent, and a passionate conversationalist. They later married, and had several children.<ref name = "OverwatchDeclassified">''[[Overwatch: Declassified]]''</ref> ===Omnic Crisis=== After the start of the [[Omnic Crisis]], Torbjörn was outside [[Gothenburg]] working to complete the [[Luftfärsvarsnätverket]]. Ingrid gave him his blessing to stay at his post. Torbjörn agreed to return home when Sweden was truly safe. After the installation of the network, he returned to Gothenburg to briefly see Ingrid and his children, but after several days, enlisted in [[Overwatch (group)|Overwatch]].<ref name = "OverwatchDeclassified"/> Ingrid and her children survived the [[Bombardment of Gothenburg]].<ref name = "OverwatchDeclassified"/> ===Overwatch=== While never a member of Overwatch herself, Ingrid played an indirect role through her scientific expertise, and her closeness with many of the organization's agents.<ref name = "OverwatchDeclassified"/> ====Love and War==== {{Quote|My dear Ingrid,<br/>I know that by now you have gotten news of my injuries in our latest mission. While the descriptions may sound terrible, the doctors are quite sure I'll make a full recovery. Even Angela came to visit me! On the matter of my arm, I promise to make it my first priority to construct a suitable prosthesis that will make everyone forget that it was ever gone. If only Angela's dreams of tissue regeneration were a reality! I told her she should be working harder!|Part of Torbjörn's letter to Ingrid}} [[File:Brigitte Origin Story art 1.png|thumb|Reinhardt visiting Ingrid, Torbjorn, and Brigitte]] Ingrid was many months pregnant with Brigitte when [[Operation White Dome]] occurred. She heard how her husband lost his arm in the battle. He later wrote to her, saying that he was quite alright, and that he would create a prosthetic to replace his missing arm. He added that young family friend [[Angela Ziegler]] was able to visit him. He told her that he had told [[Reinhardt Wilhelm]] (who had saved his life in the battle) that he could become godfather to their daughter, that he could name her, and that Ingrid would have to agree to it. He hoped that she'd be alright with this and apologized for not consulting her first. As Ingrid had not yet gone into labor, he hoped that he could return home in time to see the birth of their child.<ref name = "TorbWife">2018-02-24, [https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/21574699 STORY UPDATE: A LETTER FROM TORBJÖRN TO HIS WIFE].
