PERSONAL INFORMATION:


STRENGTHS & SKILLS
    [TRAPPING] From days spent hunting with her adoptive dad, Abigail is knowledgeable on traps and hunting animals and is able to craft traps from many natural things around her, being very resourceful.
    [ STABLE ] With a strong resolve and unwavering mindset, Abigail knows how to control emotions and the like and is consistent in how she reacts to things and people, although vengeance sometimes clouds.
    [ WHISTLING ] For some reason, she can whistle precisely and accurately all day long without getting tired. This skill is rather useless, but she finds it fun and often whistles tunes in her freetime.
    [ CLIMBING ] Possesses the uncanny ability to scale trees quickly and accurately, as well as cliffs and other such things. While she's still working on leaping from platform to platform, it's rather cool.
    [ STONE-FACED ] Can easily hide emotions with a face of stone and steel, and is barely reactive when it comes to her face. Comes into handy when she might want to lie, although she doesn't like to lie.
    [ READING ] Very fast reader inside her head. While reading so quickly, she can understand the information as well as someone who might be taking their time, but this is not too useful.

WEAKNESSES
    [ STAMINA ] She's fast and strong but she can't hold up for long. Definitely not a long-distance runner, her legs and arms get tired easily, although she's been trying to change this.
    [ NAIVE ] Sheltered from racial slurs and gender/sexuality phobias, Abigail is unsure why anyone would hate someone for the color of their skin or what gender or sexuality they are.
    [ KEYS ] Literally, give her a key loop, and she will break every single one, somehow. She can barely open locks whatsoever, so often resorts to picking them. Should never be trusted with keys, ever.
    [ INJURY-PRONE ] While not fragile, her bones aren't as sturdy and she often has problems with dislocation. She desperately wishes she can find braces for her knees in Transyre, but doubts it.
    [ SOCIAL SKILLS ] She has the social skills of a rock. Brash, bold, and blunt, she is often too quiet for anyone to have an adequate conversation with her, and even then, she isn't very good conversation.
    [ PRONUNCIATION ] Skilled reader, but with limited grasp on pronunciation. Much of what she says is littered with mis-sayings, often leading to some comical moments.

POWERS/WEAPONS
    [ LOVELY DAGGER ] Oh so lovely. A thin, double-edged dagger given to her by her mother at a young age. The hilt is a mix of trailing browns and auburns, somewhat resembling the coloring of Jasper, the stone. The blade is somewhat thin but always sharp, as Abigail takes very good care of it. It has become somewhat dull recently, though, probably because she hadn't managed to take her cleaning or sharpening tools with her into the forest.


PERSONALITY: [ VIRTUOUS | VENGEFUL | HUMORLESS | BLUNT | NAIVE | DETERMINED ]
The death of Abigail's mother left her growing up with a strong desire for justice and a seed of vengeance sprouting in her personality. This left her with an often introspective, humorless disposition: she doesn't understand more complex jokes and rarely laughs at them, much more focused on the task at hand than making friends and meaningful relationships on the way. This bluntness continued into early adulthood, when she would misinterpret playful banter for insults, although in time she had learned to respond to such jokes and comments with a cold stare.

A mere 13-year old when thrust into the outside world, Abigail's strong sense of morality would lead her to be quite naïve. She could not comprehend the notion of racial prejudice that her adoptive father and biological mother suffered from, and argued with them when taught to lie, questioning why she could not simply tell people the truth instead of lying to them.

Now stuck in the town that is Transyre, Abigail had grown to be determined in getting out. She jumps at chances to go to the forest despite the danger and is interested in whatever pages anyone happens to bring back, trying to piece together how they could escape the town. She works tirelessly to piece together the puzzle despite no leads and believes everybody else should have the same want to leave.


HISTORY: 
Born of a one night stand between a pompous British man and very traditional Native American woman, Abigail grew up with a Mohawk name because her mother had always wanted to keep their heritage alive, despite the downfalls that were associated with it. Living in a small house on the outskirts of a town with only her mom, the little girl was often introduced to her ethnicity and where she came from whenever the chance arrived, including being shown houses made by her people and even shown an authentic tomahawk. She was happy, for they got adequate food and water and a roof over their heads, while also managing to go to a school, despite the bullying she often got from the meaner kids around. Abigail thought life was pretty good and couldn't ask for more as she grew up, although it all stopped once she had reached 13 years.

She was at school when she got the news that her mother had been murdered during the day. Sick from grief and turmoil at this, Abigail was shipped off to a nearby orphanage to live until she got adopted, watching as all the white children got adopted as she continued to sit there, lying in wait. She wished she could see the trees again or play outside for once, but they were barred into the musty orphanage, waiting until someone managed to lift them out and adopt them as their own.

She stayed there for a year, only getting adopted once she was 14 by a dark-skinned, old man she only knew by dad and Mr. Pershan, never having cared for his first name. Her native name was changed to Abigail and she took on the surname of Pershan. Vengeance had sparked in her ever since the day of her mother's murder, so now that she was back into the world, Abigail enrolled into every fighting club and class she could get into, claiming she wanted to make her mother's murder pay for what he had done. Her adoptive father never had approved of this vengeful attitude, but he allowed her to do it anyways, enjoying that she had some sort of motivation in her life and that she didn't just mope around, waiting for the funeral bells to ring.

Abigail lived well with Mr. Pershan. They often went hunting together for elk and deer in the nearby plains, and after school she would always task herself with cleaning up his dusty and old house that had once been cleaned by his wife and kids, although they were gone, as he had put it. She knew it would never be the same as living with her mother, but Abigail knew that was wistful thinking and never complained, because she knew she could still be back in the orphanage.

Time passed and Abigail had moved out of Mr. Pershan's house to the Great Lakes area, where she wanted to go to college. It went well, but she was never too interested in her studies, still occupied with the long-rooted dream that she might make her mother's murderer pay for his deeds. Childish that she could hold a grudge for that long, but she didn't care.

It was for this reason that she had decided to venture into the forest, just get away from life and just... Think. The rumored forest seemed like a good candidate, a mystery shrouding around it with various disappearances linked to it, but she went anyway. Armed with a mere knife to keep her safe, she walked forth, only to be startled by the whipping trees and wind and dash off further in, hoping to lose any possible pursuer in the winding trees. As she went to the peak of a hill and slid down, she came across the town in the near distance, and a pit of dread came to her stomach as she stepped towards it.

It had become apparent to her that no rumors nor maps had ever mentioned a town.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE: 
Nothing had changed. God, nothing had changed. The courtyard looked as it always did in his electric blue eyes, but the warning Bastille had given thundered loudly in his head like a pulse. If this was his worst nightmare then he was already living it, for the environment had not altered from what it always was, there was nothing. Perhaps that was what he feared, the nothingness, but even he felt the lie there as his paws carried him forward. What do you fear, Ryan? What is it you can't stand the thought of, what haunts your every waking second like some nightmarish shadow that trails you; sullies you.The sable continued moving until the faint glint of something reflective caught his eye and he turned to find himself facing a mirror.

Oh.

Oh. Simply that. No hysterics, no reeling horror, just the dull and almost anguished muttered word passing over his lips at a realization he was already so familiar with.

It was him, his own reflection, untarnished and unaltered, staring at him with a calm smile and the faintest hint of mischief in those sky shard eyes. He was what he feared. There was nothing that could match the gut wrenching feeling of knowing that, of all things that could harm those he care for, he was the most deadly. The most real. Ryan knew this, he'd always known this. Since before he took up the mantel of the Vagabond he knew a normal life would never be his, even when he pledged his claws to the service of the crew he felt the pressure in the back of his skull where he locked all his unwanted thoughts at bay. Knowing you were a horrible creature and acting as such were two different things, most were none the wise. Most never suspected the twisted pathways and horrific imagery of his mind that so cursed his nightmares and lead to his painful insomnia. 

He couldn't even pretend to be surprised, a light sigh falling from his tongue as he took a step back and the mirror shattered into pieces that littered the ground in reflective patterns, their prismatic glow casting light and shadow over the earth at his paws and spelling out the word repeated so often in his nightmares.
'FAKE'
'Snitches get stitches'
'Why James?'

Why. Why indeed. Why did he walk a path he knew lead off a cliff, even worse knowing he would inadvertently send others spiraling to their demise? He was afraid. God, he was afraid.And the sable ducked his head, limbs falling slack beneath him, forehead pressed to the cool ground in repentance that would never come. Forgive me. Forgive me.

"I'm so sorry..."
