## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 8: Masks

Abby leaves Ethelmik along with Hetr when Lord General Bell's orders empty the city of Peaceguard, and young adults who are conscripted to the Crescian military, to bring them north to fight an Aldish incursion. The order is secretly designed and timed to empty the city of any who might observe or interfere with Bell's illicit purchase of a First Silver weapon moving through the town. Abby and Hetr plan to break from the column of Peaceguard to join with a group of Bell's loyalists from the capital.

### Chapter 11: Only a Cause

Abby returns to Ethelmik alongside Captain Hetr, the only two members of the Ethelmik and Mulimar Guards to do so. They join a larger group of General Bell's loyalists who have returned to the town to butcher it in order to hide General Bell's actions with the Shaterstar Cache and blame the deaths and destruction on the Aldish having purchased the Silver weapon when Queen Maharaishala Sonorie refused Bell's petition to do so, painting Bell in a positive light and Sonorie as a fool in public perception.

### Chapter 13: Litriya Shrine Pt. 1

Following Bell's Silver along the River Jarla Abby and Hetr find themselves in a deluge. When Emil Sava-Toma and Elka are revealed to still be alive when they use stolen fireworks to attack Bell's Silver. Abby helps subdue them and gleefully accepts an veiled command from Hetr to kill the local Watch Captain for witnessing too much. They're given orders to investigate rumors of a hidden construct facility at Litriya Shrine.

### Chapter 15: Litriya Shrine Pt. 2

Abby relishes in her role as torturer and questioner of Elka. When Keon arrives and declares Elka and Toma a liability rather than a boon as prisoners Abby is ecstatic at her orders to kill them, and wonders if she can get away with feeding Toma to his dog.

### Chapter 16: Passionate Intensity

When headed towards the shrine to protect it from the invading Lions of Mercy Abby is one of the final three survivors of Hetr's group. She is very happy using her spells to kill enemy soldiers in creative ways as she makes her way across the field. She gets cut to pieces on the doorstep of the shrine by Aldish wrights while defending Hetr from them.

## Trivia

Abby was originally planned to have a bit more time for characterization, but those bits of script got cut when trimming down the story by leaving out extraneous details that slowed down the pace. There were to be panels that made it clear Abby was aware of what misogynistic bastards Hetr and Bell are, but that she didn't care since allying herself with them gave her opportunities to indulge in her worst traits and put her in a potentially beneficial position should Bell's insurrection succeed.
