Abby

###

> *"I mean... have you ever fallen so hard for someone that the more you're around them, the more attractive they become? Like... not even what initially drove you to liking them in the first place, but... just the little things here and there? Where anything that even remotely reminds you of them suddenly seems beautiful?"*

## Backstory

### **Prewar Life:**

Abby's family lived in Salem. Her father was in the military, so she didn't see him very often growing up. Instead, she looked up to her older brother, Neal. When Abby was old enough to hold a rifle, Neal took her on trips to the woods to teach her how to shoot. He also spent time indulging her in her fascination with critters, showing her the best spots to find frogs and bugs. It was this love of animals that would carry over into her adulthood.

In school, Abby didn't have many friends. She kept to herself for the most part. She was bullied quite a bit, though it died down for a little while when Neal threatened those who would pick on her. After Neal left Salem, however, things got even worse. She hated high school and did her best to just get through it. She did have a summer fling with one of her friends, but Abby had wanted more out of it than her girlfriend.

After graduating, Abby left for law school, where things got moderately better. She gained a little more confidence, going on a few dates before meeting Nate. He was home on leave visiting a mutual friend, who introduced him to Abby. The two eventually got married. Around the time that Abby graduated from law school, she discovered she was pregnant. She took a break from the working world to give birth and get settled down in her life with an infant. She made plans to return to work, however.

### **Postwar Life:**

Abby became the Sole Survivor in Vault 111 during the events that destroyed the world. Most of her life after this point can be found in "Skin Deep"

## Fanfic & Creation

Abby belongs to a-gutter-of-ghouls and is the protagonist in the Fallout 4 fanfic, "Skin Deep". It is full of angst, fluff, and Hancock.
