## Appearance

Abishai is an average height, muscular woman with electric blue hair and deep brown skin. She has dark purple eyes, and cybernetic tattoos along her left arm that form her favorite constellation. Her formal attire for Star Road resembles that of a space suit, covered in solar panels. She wears black tights, and a large belt around her skirt with a large star on it. She also wears a flat cap with a star on it.

## Personality

Abishai is punchy and defensive, with a side of heavy sarcasm. She tries to keep it cool, but suffers from depression and anxiety. She's a very assertive type, and views her position in life as something she earned, and had to battle viciously to get. She's not beyond joking, but takes her job very seriously.

## Background

Abishai was born in Luxor, Egypt in the year 2108, to Gerri and Rami Soriano. In her early years she trained at a Dojo with her parents in Taekwondo. Her family was very poor. After her father broke his arm and lost his job- her family ran into monetary problems, causing Abi to have to work before she was an adult to support them. Eventually the family recovered, and Abi was able to raise enough money to go to College.

She eventually met Rachel Krod who was on a trip to Egypt doing research for the newly formed Star Road Foundation in 2132. The two of them formed a quick friendship when a Stand User attacked the bazaar they were in- the user of a Nightmare Stand [Strangelove Addiction]. Abi- who could not see stands, was quite confused at the time, but Rachel filled her in on the hidden world that exists all around them, and invited her to come back to Japan eventually to work at the Star Road Foundation.

In 2139, Abishai moved to Japan, assisted by Rachel for the moving process.

Abishai is the leader of the Nightmare Division of Star Road. The Nightmare Division was originally created to contain Nightmare Stands, but when the ethics of containing them was brought up in Severed Strings Episode 11- the purpose of the Nightmare Division shifted to containment and protection of potentially dangerous stand-related objects.

Abi is very self conscious about the Nightmare Division not currently having any dangerous stand-related objects to contain as of Severed Strings Episode 12.

She has a friendly rivalry with the lead psychologist, Ezra Daisuke, who makes fun of her for not being a natural born stand user.

## Abilities

Abishai is an athletic human who's picked up the ability to use Hamon through her life. She knows a variety of martial arts, but is particularly skilled in Taekwondo.

Abishai does not have a stand.

### Nightmare Stand: [Strangelove Addiction]

For a period of time, Abi was the user of the Nightmare Stand [Strangelove Addiction].

#### Hamon Weapon: Hardlight Hamon

Hardlight Hamon (the ability to solidify light and Hamon energy into a solid glass-like substance.  Don't be fooled, Hardlight hamon is anything but fragile, and can be used to form barriers and blue arrows the size of spears.)

**Hardlight Hamon Barrier** - The shield

**Piercing Hardlight Hamon** - The arrows

Abi channels Hamon through her heels and her fingertips.

Abishai has Solar Panels on her body which absorb sunlight, and allow her to redirect it into the tips of her fingers or heels to perform light-based attacks.  She can bend the light around her hands to create momentary visions of weapons, such as a Rapiere, A Light Arrow, or a beam of pure light.  On her heels the same can be observed, but the spike becomes sharper and more defined.

## Trivia

* Abishai was a complete accident of a character, and was drawn by mistake when Tali was trying to make neutral NPCs for the Star Road Foundation, along with Ezra Daisuke. The two of them seemed important, so Tali saved them for later.
* While not being the original user of the stand, Abishai is based off of Strangelove Addiction and the band Supreme Beings of Leisure.
