When Abigail was just seven years old, she was woken up one morning and told that her parents were getting a divorce. Though she didn’t understand at the time, the reason for the divorce was because her mother had an affair with another man. Her father had promised not to tell little Abby the truth, so he had to sit there and watch as the court awarded full custody to Abigail’s mother. She had visits with him often as a child and kept a close relationship with him. Despite the fact that her father kept his word, Abigail found out about the affair when she was 14. She was furious; she began to lash out against her mother and stepfather in any way she could. In fact, she became so unwieldy that her mother could not handle her anymore. She sent her away to her father, which was what Abigail wanted all along. Living with her father, Abigail was able to mellow out. She became calmer, less rebellious. Her father was not particularly well off, but she loved him, and she loved living with him. They made a cozy home if a little poor. She didn’t mind, though; she liked helping her father save money in any way she could.
At the age of sixteen, she discovered her power. At first, she thought she was crazy, but with time she began to accept that she was different. She kept her powers hidden from everyone until one day, her mother told her she would be taking her back with her. Abigail, unable to control her anger and power made a storm so bad that it not only killed her stepfather but almost took the life of her father as well. After the lightning storm, her father ran away, unwilling to face the new person his daughter was. With her mother in shock and doing her best to deal with the situation she isolated herself. Her mother resented her for taking the life of her step-father, but couldn’t bear to turn her daughter in. For weeks Abby wouldn’t leave her room except to go to school, constantly paranoid the police would realize her stepfather’s death was more than just a freak accident. The government came across her as she tried to find an answer and help for her power in online forums. They offered to train her and even though she was reluctant she accepted. She has now been in Lake Grimstone for quite some years and has learned to control her power or at least some aspects of it. Because they have always supported her, and frankly gave her a new start, Abigail is grateful to Lake Grimstone, and supports the government and everything it does for people like her.
Abigail is smart and artistic. She has a good hand for upcycling, especially making new clothes out of older, more ragged ones. Deeply impulsive, she loves to pick up new hobbies or projects, only to drop them when they feel too hard. At times, she borders on narrow-minded, unable, or unwilling to see perspectives beyond her own. However, she generally means well for others and tries to do the right thing. She no longer feels afraid of her impulse control, but she does notice flairs of inclement weather when she’s upset. If possible, she tries to keep what she did to her father and step-father a secret.
