–Ingvild to Issei Hyoudou, upon becoming his Queen, True Volume 1, Life 5 | ||
Ingvild Leviathan (イングヴィルド・レヴィアタン, Inguvu~irudo Reviatan) is one of the descendants of the original Leviathan and the Queen of Issei Hyoudou's Peerage. She is the possessor of the Longinus; Nereid Kyrie.
Appearance
Ingvild is a beautiful foreign girl who appears to be in her late teens with a "whimsical aura." She has long purple hair and orange eyes.
She wears a white dress typical of female noble Devils that exposes much of her large breasts, with high slits and long sleeves. She also wears a black mini skirt.
After joining Issei’s peerage and becoming a student at Kuoh Academy, Ingvild now wears a female school uniform with long purple socks.
Personality
Ingvild is a kind and friendly person and enjoys singing as is shown when she sings at the fountain and for Issei and his group. Ingvild is also shown to love seeing the ocean and going on beaches with her friends. Unlike her fellow members of the Leviathan clan or any other descendants of the original Satans and akin to Vali Lucifer, she doesn’t have any fanatic arrogance in her heritage as a Satan's descendant nor does she desire world domination like Katerea Leviathan and the other descendants.
She quickly fell in love with Issei, as it was revealed by her song in the battle against Nyx. She is even shown to be a little jealous of Issei's relationship with his harem such as when she and the other girls caught him with Akeno and Koneko, even thinking about acting like them despite considering it embarrassing. She also appears to be quiet, shy and soft-hearted. She can be very observant, remembering what Meredith said to Issei before she attacked him when the other characters were preoccupied with discussing Issei's condition.
As noted by Issei once the two had gotten to know one another, despite Ingvild's exceptional talent, she still works hard for the sake of her friends, putting others before herself.
History
Ingvild was born as the daughter to a Human and a Devil from the Leviathan Clan and was living in the human world, in a seaside city in Europe. At some point in the past, she ended up with the devil sleeping disease that made her enter into a deep sleep, and her parents quickly contacted the Leviathan nobles and sent her to the Underworld in an attempt to cure her.
Only the noble Devils that were a part of the previous Satan Leviathan faction knew about this information. Those noble Devils hid her in their own territory, keeping her presence secret from the current government and even to Ingvild's relative Katerea Leviathan and the Old Satan supporters who joined the Khaos Brigade.
Ingvild continued to sleep for a hundred years. She awakened due to the manifestation of her Longinus, Nereid Kyrie.
After Ingvild and her Longinus were awakened, the Devils that hid her knew that they couldn’t keep her under their control, and they contacted the current government and Grigori who took care of her and analyzed Ingvild's Longinus. After this, she was kidnapped by Nyx and put under the Goddess' mind control.
Powers & Abilities
Immense Demonic Power: As a descendant of the original Leviathan, Ingvild has impressive demonic powers, which according to Rossweisse's measurements is equal to a Satan-Class Devil or higher, being that her Demonic Power could resist against the brainwashing Magic cast on her by Nyx. Despite having little to no practice, she has impressive control of her Demonic Power, being able to summon a total of ten thirty-meter water dragons, which each released an impressive aura. Rossweisse noted that she is naturally talented in controlling her powers. During training Roygun noted that her strength lies largely in the fact that she can use her enormous amount of aura to compete with almost any opponent on an offensive basis. After receiving the relic of the original Leviathan, her abilities were further enhanced. Issei likens her to a female Vali in terms of talent inherited from the original Satans.
- Sea Serpent of the End (掉尾の海蛇龍, Tōbi no Umihebi Ryū) : As a descendant of the Leviathan Clan, Ingvild can control the sea and draw large amounts of water. At full power, she's capable of summoning floods, drowning whole cities and creating a snake-shaped Dragon made of water. Originally, Ingvild wasn't able to use this ability but gained access to it after coming into possession of the relic of the original Leviathan.
- Elemental Demonic Power: Ingvild specializes in the water element, which she can use to create ten or more enormous water dragons and other constructs. Her power is also capable of nullifying or overpowering the elemental powers of others.
- Defensive Magic: She has been shown to be able to use a multi-layered defensive magic circle built with her vast Demonic Power.

Equipment
Nereid Kyrie (終わる翠緑海の詠, Nereisu Kirie): Ingvild's Sacred Gear, that is one of the new High-tier Longinus, which allows Ingvild to control Dragons and even the Sea itself, although the former is stronger, while the latter is still improving. Nereid Kyrie can enslave Dragons and those who possess Dragon-type Sacred Gears, weakening Issei enough to dispel his Crimson Armor, potentially affecting his Diabolos Dragon, as well being able to potentially control the Dragon Gods; Great Red and Ophis. Its power to manipulate the sea can allow her to control the ocean to sink an urban area or a country, Nereid Kyrie could potentially even become a Sub-Species that control lakes. As a High-tier Longinus, it has the destructive potential to destroy the world.
- Paipod (乳音拡声, Paipoddo): Also known as Breast Song Reinforcement. By using Issei's Diabolos Dragon God as a conduit, Ingvild can empower Issei and his allies who are present. The song can be heard through the breasts of women as the area is bathed in lavender light particles.
Queen Piece (女王の駒, Joō no koma): Ingvild was reincarnated using the Queen Piece, which grants her the traits of a Rook, Bishop, and Knight.
