Hey, all! Jackie here, back from the land of vacationing and bearing an Étaín - who you've probably already seen floating around over in monte_extras - so we'll just keep this short and sweet: Abbey's the daughter of a casino owner father and an absentee pop-singer mother. Been dating Sam/Abel for the last three years. (Which began with a a fair amount of cheating and resulted in a good deal of guilt.) She's a second-year grad student, studying costume & jewelry design - and she works part-time at Hocus Pocus, a magic & novelty shop in town.
And now for your obligatory power-listing:
. lovely all until etain . Abigail inspires temptation and desire in a man who suffers doubts in his relationships, who is looking for a way out. Hell, to a man who is just plain looking, she's incredibly beautiful and alluring. Conversely, to a woman suffering similar insecurities, she dredges up feelings of bitterness and jealousy. (She genuinely hates it.) How the genders are effected can occasionally switch, but it generally tends to remain mythologically compliant. Also: Her current contentment and settledness does temper the effect slightly.
. the secret life of abbey mack . In times of intense emotion - particularly when experiencing fear or nerves - she dissolves into water. And yes, before you ask, pleasure has done it once or twice. Shut up. (Seriously. Her powers all suck or are terminally embarrassing.) She'll usually come back to herself a split-second later though, hair dripping and looking astoundingly sheepish about the whole thing. It's reasonable to assume that she might be able to manage the other transformations that Étaín had been put through at some point, but it hasn't happened yet.
Her application is a bit on the ginormous side - this is what happens when you write things out scattered all over notebooks - but it's over here, if anyone wants to poke at it.
