Personality
Abigail is a very easy going individual once you get to know her. However, her demeanor will change, depending on the situation. Due to her military and law enforcement background, she is very professional while on duty or in costume. She is highly disciplined, articulate, and pays great attention to detail. She often speaks her mind in a straight forward manner. Some might mistake this for bluntness or coldness, when in fact, it is simply her way of getting right to the point. She is rarely outright rude to others, though she will not hesitate to tell a person to get their head out of their ass if they are acting wrecklessly or endangering others.
Off duty, she is extremely laid back. She enjoys "talking shop" but knows there is a great deal more to life than work. Though she enjoys her work, both as a hero and a civilian, she focuses on hobbies with just as much enthusiasm. It isn't uncommon to find her in the gym, at the shooting range, sitting in the park with a good book, or attending music festivals. She is very athletic, so enjoy participating in sports, but doesn't spend much time watching them on television. She loves movies as well, especially if they are action or comedy. Abigail also enjoys furthering her education and will often pick up a college course or participate in a training program with the PPD on the side.
Abigail has always felt family and unity are very important aspects of life. She is very close to her immediate family. When it comes to personal relationships, she is fiercely loyal, be it to family, friends, or a significant other. Her child, Emily, is one of the most important people in her life, even though she is not permitted to see her. Abigail has a soft spot for children due to this, and will often pause to compliment a couple with children in public.
Due to the turmoil of her failed marriage, she has been wary of getting involved in romantic relationships. She briefly dated a fellow police officer but their lives were moving in different directions. The relationship ended amicably. Recently however, she has developed a new outlook on romance, since meeting Jax Ryan, a former Air Force pilot whose past she is learning about more and more each day. The relationship began as a chance encounter one fateful day, and quickly intensified, despite efforts from both parties to take things slowly. Abigail finds herself falling for the charming, rebellious flyboy rather quickly.
Appearance
Abigail is 5'6, 125 pounds, with a slim yet athletic build. She has thick, black hair that she keeps cut just above her collar to remain within military regulations. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of green. With intense emotions, her irises will often smoulder, or tiny sparks may appear. Her complexion is naturally tanned. With intense emotions, an amber glow will be present beneath her skin and sometimes, sparks will dance over the surface of her body.

Allies
Pyra Technique: A.K.A. Detective Rachel Sinclair. Fellow PPD Officer & E.O.D. Technician. The pair are very close. Abby is one of the few people whom knows that Rachel is also Pyra.
Valor Frost: Fellow member of The Jadewire. Currently dating. Also reffered to as "Val" or "Jax". Abby is very fond of Val. From the moment they met, she was quite taken with the former Air Force Pilot's charming, all-American smile and his polite, sometimes impish nature. Not many know much about Val or his past yet. But once a person spends time getting to know him, they'll notice he has a bit of a reble, bad-boy streak in him, and tends to march to the beat of his own drum.
Journey Blaze: Fellow member of The Jadewire. Quickly becoming a very close friend. Also referred to as "JB". Despite Journey's amnesia, and the fact that she's from an alternate dimension, she and Abby have a great deal in common, from a love of weaponry, to a strict, military background, right down to fashion. The pair even think alike in many ways, sometimes saying nearly the exact same thing, at the same time, or comleteing each other's sentences. Abby liked the feisty, fun loving red head the moment they met, and knows that with Journey, she's found a life long friend.
James Kross: A member of The Jade Knights, James has become a fast friend to Abby, Val, and Journey. The four of them can often be spotted together, whether its working in the field, or hanging out in general. Like Val, James has a love of flying, and gets along quite well with Abby and Journey due to their interests in weaponry.
Kiloton Kid: Though Abby doesn't know this young hero very well, she has a great deal of respect for him. Johnny, his wife Nichole,their infant son JJ, and Nichole's 9 year old sister, Rachel, are a few of Abby's favorite individuals. They welcomed Abby to the Jadwire with warmth and enthusiasm, for which she will be eternally grateful.
Matt King: Another fellow Jade, Abby doesn't know him very well either, but Matt has proven to be a friendly, outgoing, accepting individual, willing to help those in need. Though she has only met his wife Suzie,a.k.a.High Tempered and their twins on a few occassions, she admires the unity they represent as a family of super powered beings.
Patricia Alvarez: Ex-Sister-in-law. Patricia has always remained a close friend to Abigail. To this day, she continues to send letters, photos, and even calls to keep Abby up to date on her daughter. Patricia has never agreed with her brother's actions regarding Abby and gets a great deal of satisfaction by going behind his back. She also loathes her brother's current wife, Kelly.
Enemies
Jason Alvarez: Ex Husband, Father of her daughter Emily.
Kelly Alvarez: Former best friend whom had an affair with Abby's ex husband while they were still married.
