## Introduction

**Abigail Fields**, *née Marlow*, was born on the 8th March 1871 in Leicester, England to Samuel Marlow and Emma Tyler.

A deputy with the Armadillo Sheriffs Office, she is currently a resident of New Austin however she is often seen travelling to Blackwater, Strawberry and the surrounding areas of West Odessa.

Abigail is married to Jasper Fields, with whom she has an adopted daughter - Michaela "Mittens" Fields.

## Childhood

Life started off well for Abigail: a family who loved her dearly, enough money to be getting by and her whole life ahead of her. This all changed once her father began drinking for reasons still unknown to Abigail. He began coming home more drunk than the night before, beating on her mother, but always leaving Abigail unharmed. Her father fell into the wrong crowd and began to make dealings with shady men who would come to the house, Abigail was never able to find out what these deals were as her and her mother were always told to go upstairs and not make a sound.

One night, he came home incredibly drunk, incredibly angry and, as per usual, began to hit her mother. However, on this night, everything would change for Abigail. Instead of her father stopping at just using his fists, he used household items to beat her mother and, in the end, she watched her father brutally murder her mother unable to stop him in fear of her own life. Her father told everyone that the house had been broken into whilst himself and Abigail were out, the police constables didn't look any further and her father was able to get away with the murder of her mother.

Shortly thereafter, her father moved himself and Abigail out to America to begin a new life. He continued his shady dealings and his drinking, however he thankfully never once laid a hand on Abigail.

## Adopting Michaela

Whilst working as a Deputy, Abigail responded to a telegram stating that a general store was being robbed, it was in this encounter that she would meet "Mittens" and "Piggy". Now, Mittens and Piggy were both street kids, knowing the back alleys of the city like the back of their hands, therefore they were able to escape.

Later on that same day, Abigail responded to another general store robbery with Jasper Fields, at this time just her Senior Deputy. Again, the persons involved were Mittens and Piggy. This time however, they were unable to escape and were taken to the local Sheriffs Office for processing. Whilst processing the pair, Abigail and Jasper began talking to them both, hearing about their lives and how difficult things were for the street kids. Both Abigail and Jasper had been tempted to send the pair off to prison, however after hearing everything that the pair were struggling through, they decided on another option. The pair would spend their sentence locally in the cells, and then they would not rob anymore general stores, instead coming in and cleaning the Sheriffs Offices which Jasper would pay them for.

After this, both Abigail and Jasper took concern over the street kids, checking in with them every so often. Over time, they began to grow closer and closer with Mittens who they learned her actual name was Michaela Pinch, however she insisted that they continued to call her Mittens. Time went by, Abigail and Jasper began to see Mittens as their daughter, Mittens seeing Abigail and Jasper as her parents.

Whilst patrolling together one day, Abigail and Jasper spoke about maybe they should officially adopt Mittens as they viewed themselves to be a family, everyone around them saw them as a family with their friends and even people they didn't know referring to Mittens as Abigail and Jaspers' kid.

Jasper decided to make Abigail be the one to ask Mittens if she wanted to be adopted by them, despite her being extremely nervous and unsure of what to say. Mittens was overjoyed, instantly saying yes and the trio officially decided to become a family.

## Relationship with Jasper

When Abigail first met Jasper, she was a doctor working out of the office next to one of the Sheriffs Offices he frequented. They didn't talk often, however when they did she admired what he had to say and agreed with him on (most of) his views on the world around them. She developed some feelings for Jasper, however kept them to herself, telling only her best friend, Antonio Delgato. One day, Abigail overheard a conversation that Jasper had began dating another woman, not wanting to get in the way of anyone's happiness, she continued to hide her feelings for him and began dating.

Neither relationship lasted for the pair, and they both seemed to have decided to put love on the back burner, focussing on their Deputy careers.

Throughout all of the adventures and looking after Mittens, Abigail and Jasper became friends, but there was nothing romantic between the pair as Jasper had recently ended an engagement. However as time went on, they grew closer and closer, but however appeared unwilling to admit to each other that they were interested.

On the day that Abigail and Jasper asked Mittens if they could officially adopt her, Mittens asked Jasper if this meant that he and Abigail were together to which he turned to Abigail and asked her to go for a drink, she of course said yes. The pair grew closer and closer over time. They found a place that they could call home with Mittens, spending their time either patrolling together or on adventures with Mittens and their close friends.

## Life in Odessa

Abigail spent the beginning of her time in Odessa learning her way around, along with plenty of hunting with Jasper by her side. Not long after her arrival, Jasper found himself employed as a Deputy of Strawberry, before being transferred to Armadillo with Josiah Shepard to begin a Sheriffs Office down in New Austin as there currently was not one. She then found herself spending more and more time out in the desert before deciding she was ready to put the deputy badge back on and get back into her law enforcement work.

Being a deputy in Armadillo was like nothing Abigail had ever experienced before, she had many a thing to learn about life in the desert, including dealing with the Del Lobos. In fact, on her third shift working as a deputy, she was taken hostage by two of the Del Lobos in an attempt to rob the bank in town. Whilst New Austin is known for it's "lawlessness", Abigail found that it was actually rather peaceful, spending a majority of her time in the desert hunting vultures or dancing with Jasper and Jaquiline Ville.
