Queen Ingrith

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were making a threat."

- Queen Ingrith to Maleficent

Queen Ingrith is the main antagonist of the 2019 film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. She is the Queen of Ulstead, wife of King John, mother of Prince Phillip, and Aurora’s future mother‐in‐law who creates a plan to cut ties with the fairies and Moors.

Personality
Ingrith is motivated by the tragic death of her brother, who she believes was killed by one of the enchanted forest's creatures. She is willing to protect her people, and for her, the ends justify the means. She is also wicked, cunning and selfish and xenophobic, which in turn leads to her aggression towards the fairies.
