Ingrid is one of Enrique’s friends at the anarchist commune. Though Marjane initially hates Ingrid (she thinks Ingrid is in love with Enrique), they soon become close friends. They spend most of their time together meditating or doing drugs. Ingrid also supplies Marjane with some of the drugs that she sells at school. Eventually, Marjane and Ingrid grow apart when Marjane’s relationship with Markus gets more serious. Though Marjane doesn’t give a lot of details about their process of growing apart, she feels unable to ask Ingrid for help when Marjane becomes homeless.
