General Appearance: (533 words) Abigail is an attractive young woman, if a bit of a rough-and-tumble sort. A giant among most other women, and often standing eye to eye with most men, she has fiery red hair, which unintentionally serves to represent her personality. It is wavy, with a silky texture and bright sheen to it, and it falls down to her shoulders. She regularly ties her locks back into a ponytail, in an attempt to cultivate an air of maturity and professionalism. She was born with complete heterochromia iridis, meaning that one eye is a different color than the other. Her right eye is a dark, emerald green, whilst the left eye is bright amber. Her eyes often gleam when she’s feeling particularly mischievous, and are otherwise large and expressive. She needs to wear glasses at all times. Abigail has a small nose, what some might call a button nose, and her mouth is long and thin, framed by deep laugh lines. Her smiles have a feline quality to them. Her jawline is rounded, leading into a pointed chin. Together, these features allow a wide range of facial expressions, which she makes good use of. Abigail, due to years upon years of travel and adventuring, has developed a notable tan, and the freckles on her cheeks are more pronounced. Her body frame is sleight, her figure mildly curvaceous, but she is leanly muscled, due to all the physical exertion she has put herself through. Abigail has developed a large bust over the years, easily sitting at around D cup, though she personally doesn’t care, and in fact often finds them to be a hindrance in combat. Abigail is an enthusiast of tattoos, and has a couple on her person. The most prominent is the swirling tribal design inked in black that goes from her shoulder down the entire length of her left arm, even covering the back of her hand. She also has white angel wings tattooed on her back. She has a puckered scar on her abdomen from when she was stabbed, as well as another scar across her collarbone.

Due to her various adventures, Abigail has developed the habit of dressing in whatever fashion is appropriate for the society, situation, and/or climate she finds herself in. She has come to learn that even something as simple as dressing in a similar fashion to those around her makes dealings with others go much more smoothly. However, no matter the styles, she still has her preferences, mostly in terms of color scheme. Abigail tends to favor the “Toreador” fashion; shades of red and black. Often, her top, trousers, and footwear will all be black, while whatever she wears over all of that, if anything, will be red. Abigail’s clothing usually is very loose-fitting. Her clothes regularly sport rather elegant embroidery and designs. Common ones include stylized crosses, fleur de lis, and imagery evocative of angels, including angel wings, feathers, and so forth. Belts and chains also, for some reason, find themselves included in her outfits rather frequently. Another constant is her wedding ring. It isn’t overly elegant, simply a band of gold fitted for her ring finger. It’s encrusted with a tear-shaped piece of polished moonstone, however.

Personality: (637 words) Abigail is her father’s daughter when it comes to her temperament and behavior, though many of her rougher qualities have been gentled by her mother’s influence. In most endeavors, “Freebird”, as she is called, lives up to her nickname. She is quite calm and easy-going, taking her time with most things and often willing to “stop and smell the roses”, so to speak. She is very hardhearted, hardly ever letting the words or actions of another get underneath her skin. She lives by the words, “Whatever happens, happens.” Abigail is also a very kind woman. She will always be willing to lend a helping hand to those who ask it of her, and will drop everything she’s doing in order to help another, even if it is a small deed, like helping a lost child find their way home. However, this compulsion to be a Good Samaritan can prove problematic for herself, especially in combat situations. Abigail will always focus on keeping innocents out of the line of fire, leaving her distracted from the danger itself and vulnerable. Sometimes she will go as far as to act as a shield for another person.

Abigail is very free-spirited, quite often insisting on doing what she feels is right, regardless of what others say to her. Because of this, she often butts heads with military types, especially when they try to take command of a situation and order her around. She can prove to be quite insubordinate in such cases. However, this is not to imply that she is uncooperative. If people are willing to work with her, she’s willing to work with them. She simply doesn’t enjoy having orders barked at her as if she were nothing more than an attack dog. Freebird is very stout-hearted, never wavering in her determination once her mind is set on something. She is loyal to a fault, and would never leave a comrade behind. She is also an avid explorer, jumping at the chance to see new lands, meet new people, and experience new cultures.

However, for all of her good qualities, Abigail has her flaws. The biggest one has to be her temper. While the fuse is long and slow-burning, once she reaches her boiling point, she becomes extremely violent. A massive bone of contention for her is her elder sister, a powerful witch who has caused untold amounts of turmoil in the universe they both hail from. As such, she has vowed to bring her sister to justice, even if it means killing her, and she can often be disturbingly single-minded when it comes to this goal. Which brings us to the fact that Abigail has extreme difficulty letting go of a grudge. Depending on the severity of the perceived wrong committed against her, she can have a chip on her shoulder about it for years. She also has a problem with knowing when it’s the proper time to speak her mind, as she will often voice her opinions with flagrant disregard as to whom it may offend. And, like her dear father, she can be quite foulmouthed when provoked. Abigail also has a penchant for biting sarcasm, which is an overall family trait, and she can be a bit of a lush.

In terms of relationships, Abigail is very family-oriented, often treating her friends as if they are blood relatives. She is also unabashedly homosexual. She makes no efforts to hide her sexual orientation, and doesn’t give a damn what other people think about her because of it. However, she doesn’t shout it out from the rooftops that she’s gay. She is also by no means promiscuous. She is happily married, and quick to flash her ring in order to ward off suitors, even if she is in a completely different universe, with no sure way to get back home.
Likes:
-Dance: Abigail has always been a dancer. She began learning as a child, at her own request, and took to it like a duck takes to water. Even today, play a good tune and she’ll start with the fancy footwork. This love of dance has even bled through into combat, as her swordplay is often described as being like a dance.

-Music: No doubt because of the fact that both her father and mother were musicians in their time, Abigail loves music as much as she loves her wife. She tends to prefer music with a flowing rhythm and few lyrics, music that’s easy to dance to. However, there are times when she will listen to tunes that are a bit… heavier, and she’s always been a rocker at heart. She is skilled in playing the clarinet and the guitar.

-Swordplay: While Abigail doesn’t like unnecessary violence, she does enjoy the art of using a sword. It requires a level of discipline, balance, and grace which she can appreciate, and she finds using a blade to be far better than using a firearm, as you don’t necessarily have to kill with the former. Abigail is skilled in the use of longswords, bastard swords, scimitars, and sabers.

-Children: Her maternal instincts at work. Abigail is rather fond of children, and tends to be rather doting over them. She will happily pick up an instrument and start playing a tune for them, or entertain them with stories she has heard during her travels. She is also fiercely protective of children, and will gut any bastard that harms one.

-Alcohol: Even on her best days, sometimes Abigail can’t keep herself out of her cups. She loves to drink, as it helps her loosen up, and always makes a night of fun and revelry even better.

-Her wife: A bit of a given, to be sure, but Abigail’s love for her wife, Sarah, runs so deep that she is unfailingly loyal to her, even if current circumstances keep them apart. Hardly a day goes by when she thinks about her.
Dislikes:
-Demons: Devils, succubi, whatever. If it is a creature of a fiendish nature, Abigail despises it with every fiber of her being. Part of it is no doubt due to the influence of her angelic transformations, but her reasons are more deeply rooted in the fact that many hardships she has had to endure in the past has bore some connection to demons. If she ever encounters such a creature, she will immediately resort to slaying it.

-Her sister: Out of all the beings in the universe, Abigail hates none more than her sister, Emiliana. They have tried to kill one another many times before, and it is her pursuit of Emiliana that brought Abigail to Fiore in the first place. She will stop at nothing to rid the world of the vile witch she has the misfortune to be related to.

-Unnecessary violence: Despite her extensive training in the art of the sword, and her more… excessive reactions where her sister is concerned, Abigail is actually not a fan of resorting to violence. She will shed blood if her hand is forced, but if she can, she will try to reason with others in order to prevent a bloody altercation.

-Child abusers: As mentioned before, Abigail is protective of the younger generation. Because of this, she cannot abide someone who abuses children, in any form. While she will not react violently, she will often give the abuser a piece of her mind, and more often than not hand them over to the local authorities.

-People who insult her family: Abigail’s family has always been there to support her, and she doesn’t even want to think about how she may have ended up if they hadn’t. As such, she takes insults towards her family rather personally. Those who do so should expect to get punched for their trouble.
Motivations:
-Finding her way home: More than anything, Abigail desires to return to her universe of origin. She misses her family, and the friends she made there, and Fiore is… different. Sometimes too different for her liking. However, she will not compromise her principles in this pursuit. If forced to choose between going home and saving an innocent, she will always choose the latter.

-Killing her sister: After seeing firsthand the damage her sister can cause if left unchecked, Abigail has become convinced that the only way to put an end to Emiliana’s rampages is to kill her. While she isn’t thrilled with the thought of shedding the blood of her kin, it’s a small price to pay in order to remove such destructive evil from the world.
Fears:
-Ghosts: A bit of an odd fear, but Abigail is not a fan of ghosts. The mere mention of them is enough to send shivers down her spine, let alone the prospect of actually encountering one. If she were to ever actually meet a ghost, Abby would more than likely become paralyzed with fear, unable to do anything.

-Hospitals: Abigail has had some bad experiences in hospitals and hospital-like settings. On top of that, she dislikes how pristine they often are. It invokes a sort of “uncanny valley” effect which disturbs her to no end. As such, she refuses to enter such places willingly.

-Becoming a monster: Abigail has always had to deal with the possibility of becoming a monster, whether it be through the violation of her morals and principles, or through the loss of her sanity. She has had to walk that line for many years of her life, and still walks it today. This fear is probably the only thing that could possibly stay her hand in her zealous quest to kill her sister.

Secrets:
-As has been stated numerous times now, Abigail is not from Fiore. In fact, she is not even from the same universe. The universe she hails from is home to an amalgam of worlds, varying in cultural and technological sophistication, as well as climates and geography.

-Prior to her ability to transform into angels, Abigail instead was able to transform into various demons. While that’s bad enough on its own, a side effect of this ability was that she had to devour the remains of those she had slain in order to maintain her sanity. She is not proud of this in the slightest, and tries her best to keep it under wraps.

History (3542 words):

[Guild & Magic]

Guild: Guildless
Guild Tattoo: Left side of her neck, dark red.

Magic: Takeover Magic: Angel
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Abigail has had the ability to turn into fantastic creatures for a long time. But it’s only recently that she’s been able to transform into angels. These angels, taking their names from the Hebrew alphabet that exists in her universe, are very much warriors. They focus on martial strength, instead of more “roguish” tactics that rely on cunning and even deceit. The angels do, however, have access to abilities that derive from the element of light, which means that Abigail can also use these abilities when assuming their forms. They are also all female. In order for Abigail to be able to transform into a particular angel, she must make a pact with them, as opposed to other Takeover magics, which would require the wizard to defeat whatever creature they would want to transform into. The magic allows for both partial and full takeovers.
Strengths: (86 words) These forms are absolutely brilliant when the takeover mage is on the offensive. In terms of elemental interactions, they are resistant to light-based attacks, since angels are creatures of light, and can easily overcome defenses that rely on the element of darkness. As they are angels, all forms come with wings. However, the weaker angels are unable to fly, for one reason or another. The most common cause of this is that they are, in fact, fallen. The stronger forms do grant the user flight, though.
Weaknesses: (98 words) While the stronger angels usually come equipped with armor, and all angels have defensive capabilities, defense is not their main focus, and as such, they suffer in that particular area. When it comes to how they interact with the other elements, it’s sort of a mixed bag. As was previously stated, the angels’ light spells are strong against the element of darkness. But at the same time, darkness is their greatest weakness. Darkness-based abilities can easily overcome their defenses and cause them great harm. And as was also stated before, the weaker forms cannot fly, despite having wings.
