Abbie Mills

- Abbie

Agent Grace Abigail Mills is known as Abbie to her friends. Born December 23, 1986, Abbie is an FBI agent in the small town of Sleepy Hollow. Although she didn't realize what they were, Abbie has had encounters with demons many times in her life that even caused her to become estranged from her family and caused a bad relationship with her sister, Jenny Mills. While working in Sleepy Hollow, she met a curious man by the name of Ichabod Crane. The man claimed to be from the Revolutionary War and have died, then been resurrected.

During the span of a year, Abbie learned that she and Ichabod were the Two Witnesses foretold in the book of Revelation that were to fight the coming apocalypse and the forces of evil. She fought the demon that once caused her and her family so much strife, then proceeded to fulfill her duties as a friend to Ichabod and to her police department.

Abbie and Ichabod were recruited to the Avengers team when Argo Harper, Max Jones, and Lon Scot and the group had to face off against several "death flappers," or Ales Mortem. The team put up quite the fight but won. This led to Argo asking them to join the fight against the Titan Kronos.

## Biography

Abbie Mills had a rough life, including a few brushes with the authorities. Abbie and her sister, Jenny Mills, both grew up in homes that were unstable. Their father was an alcoholic, and their mother, while affectionate, suffered from what was thought to be mental illness. Abbie and Jenny were inseparable, sometimes isolating themselves in their room to play with their dollhouse and avoid their parents. Their father ultimately abandoned the family, and their mother was judged unfit, resulting in Abbie and Jenny being placed in foster care. Following an attempted abduction of Abbie and Jenny from their foster care home, their mother was institutionalized and eventually died while still in the custody of Tarrytown Psychiatric.

Abbie, being the determined lady she is, has set her eyes on going to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Sheriff Corbin, a friend and father figure to Abbie, is convinced that Abbie is simply interested in the training post as a means of escaping (certain aspects of her life that she has yet to deal with). This talk, which is taking place in a charming café, is interrupted short when the police station radios the two to quiet a few scared horses at the Fox Creek Stables. When they arrive at the stables, Abbie notices that something doesn't look quite right. This is the first time the Headless Horseman appears in modern-day Sleepy Hollow. Sheriff Corbin comes face to face with the Headless Horseman while investigating the area and, after a few ineffectual rounds at the Horseman, has his head hacked off. Abbie is captivated when she notices her partner's severed head on the ground. As the Horseman walks away, Abbie catches a glimpse of him and is taken aback. Back at the station, a guy named Ichabod Crane has been captured and detained as a suspect in Sheriff Corbin's murder.

Once at the station, Abbie discloses that this individual is not Sheriff Corbin's killer [since this man still has his head]. After a lengthy chat, Abbie understands that Ichabod not only knows who the Headless Horseman is, but that he is also responsible for the Horseman's head being severed. Despite her reservations, Abbie chooses to break rules [having been ordered to transport Mr. Crane to a psychiatric institution] believing that Ichabod can give answers. Ichabod, who is Abbie's ride-along for the day, helps her learn more about the Headless Horseman. Ichabod retraces his ways and shows Abbie the cave where he was resurrected. George Washington's Bible is found in this cave, revealing that Abbie and Ichabod are the Two Witnesses, and the Headless Horseman is the first horseman of the apocalypse: Death. The two were brought together for seven years of hardship, according to the Bible.

## Physical Appearance

Abbie is an African-American female in her mid-30s. She has black hair that goes down to her neck, and tends to appear roughly brushed and half curled with a curling iron. Otherwise she is very clean-cut and will wear a blazer and buisness attire for her missions. She usually has a belt on her with a gun holstered to her hip.

## Personality

Abbie is a strong and heroic lady who frequently prioritizes the needs of others before her own. Abbie has a tight grip on her emotions, which might be a result of her upbringing or training. As a result, she is frequently quiet and slow to rage, yet beyond the strong façade lies a lady with profound feelings. She is highly compassionate, as seen by her numerous attempts to calm down perps rather than making forceful displays. She also has a sympathetic heart for children; during her battle with the Pied Piper, she effectively offered herself up as bait in order to find a lost girl. Abbie is also knowledgeable, practical, intelligent and at times calculating.

## Powers and Abilities

Abbie was trained in Quantico as an FBI agent, making her an expert marksman with the ability to use a handgun as well as a variety of guns. Abbie is also proven to be well-versed in close-quarters combat. Abbie developed an aptitude for lock picking as a result of her previous life as a thief.

Abbie also possesses certain superatural abilities. She has experienced prophetic dreams, aided in spell casting, been visited by entities only she can see, and had vivid visions of the past. However, it is unclear if these experiences are a result of her status as a witness or an advantage of her lineage.

## Equipment

Abbie typically carries nothing more than a badge and a state issued sidearm. She has been known to wield other items and weapons, but only in emergencies, as she does not carry these on a regular basis.
