Trivia

Etymology

 * In "Family Business", the names of Ingrid and her family are written in Elder Futhark runes on the family tree. According to the family tree, the sisters' parents were King Harald and Queen Sonja. Harald is the name of the current king of Norway, and Sonja is the name of the current queen. Ingrid of Once Upon a Time shares her name with Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, the grandchild of King Harald of Norway, and heir apparent of the Norwegian crown prince.

Character Notes

 * According to Ingrid, she has hundreds of mirrors. Some of them are decorating the walls in her ice cream shop.
 * Ingrid's adopted alias in Storybrooke is Sarah Fisher. There was a Storybrooke business called "Sara's Old Fashioned Ice Cream", which happened to be located right next to Mr. Gold's pawnshop (this ice cream shop is gone by the time of "Fall").
 * However, Jane Espenson has clarified that the other ice cream shop did not belong to the Snow Queen.


 * After demanding her third sister from the Apprentice, Ingrid also says that she is a very patient woman. This is actually proven in most of the cases. For example, she waited for the Apprentice to find her sister for two years; or after she came to the Land Without Magic, she waited another 16 years; or after she came to Storybrooke, she waited another full of 12 years.
 * Ingrid, again, references to this on one occasion, where she says that her secret to her rocky road being so delicious is lot of love and lot of patience.
