**Gabriella "Gabi" Bunny** is a strong-willed girl wanted to pick herself up after years of blaming herself for her ex-husband's abuse and leaving with their daughter. She's currently living on All Boro with her current husband and said daughter, who was able to escape her father's clutches.

As a child, she loved being outside. Spring time she could play in the mud, summer was swimming at the beach. Fallen leaves were just another autumn playtime, and winter had the snowball fights with mom and dad. She never suffered from "Older Sibling Syndrome", she adored every brother and sister that she got. She talks mostly with Bri and Matt, but she will never let anyone harm the others.

She began dating a boy named Dylan in Junior year, lasting a little past the start of Senior year before he broke up with her to date someone else named Alyssa. Gabi was heartbroken, finishing out high school without dating. She met Rick at the Cafe. He was a traveler and, at first, seemed extremely nice and gentle to Gabi. They dated and things were great! It wasn't until he proposed that Gabi began seeing issues. He was demanding, he was selfish, and he had anger issues. She said yes and was told the only way he'd allow her to help plan their wedding is if she allowed him every penny she made at work. She didn't see anything wrong, thinking that she wasn't able to save much anyways.

Rick banned Gabi's family from attending their wedding, not having it on All Boro and only having his friends as witnesses. He picked out Gabi's dress, telling her to wear it or he'd leave with everything she had. She objected and that's when the physical abuse began. he'd hit her, pull her hair pull her bunny ears. Even after the wedding. Their wedding night was painful... a night Gabi doesn't want to remember. At all. Kate was born a few months later and Rick thought it was funny. Gabi never wanted kids, as she felt she was too immature. But with Kate, she protected her, she didn't want anything to harm her.

A year later, Rick demanded another kid and Gabi said no. She tried standing her ground, finally breaking after the hell he's forced on her. She thought she got through to him but she didn't. That night, he took Kate and fled All Boro. Gabi woke up panicking, wondering where he went and began crying when Kate couldn't be found. She had Hudson help look, but they couldn't find Kate at all. Gabi went back to All Boro broken. She had her friends by her side, sure, but she never healed. A few months later, and she smacks herself for this, she began dating Daryl, who was only dating her to make his ex, Zaylee upset... when that didn't work, he broke up with Gabi because she wasn't worth being jealous over. She began dating Zak not too long after, and they had an amicable break up after they both realized that they weren't fully over their exes, though continue to stay friends.

After that, she decided against dating period. She can live alone and be happy... possibly. She was made fun of in high school for the same reason her first boyfriend dumped her for someone else. She is hyper and bubbly... at least she used to be. She went to the Cafe for dinner every night for two weeks before she met three sweet boys, brothers. One of them, Jay, offered to have her join them. She accepted and had a great time with some new friends, even recognizing Isaac in one of her classes in high school.

She grew closer with Jay, however, and started panicking when she felt like she wanted more. She vented to Bri about it, afraid that she's falling in love and, with her romance track record, would just get heartbroken again. Bri let it slip to Jay accidentally after asking him to help calm her down. Gabi held that against Bri for a bit, but eventually just dropped it. Jay asked if she wanted to head over to the Cafe for lunch to help calm her down. While it was just a friendly day out at the time, Jay eventually accepted the fact that it was a first date. He asked her on another, and she started seeing a pattern. They officially dated for a year and a half, with Gabi subtly warning him along the way that something is "wrong with her" but Jay ignored that. He proposed and the two married. 5 years later, Kate came back, with Gabi confused as to what happened and where she went. Jay gave her the silent treatment for a while before Kate talked him into speak with Gabi again, allowing her to explain. While he still wishes she said something, he understood and happily accepted Kate into his life, formally adopting her less than a year later.

Gabi is still a bit sore from her heartbreaks years later, even seeing Rick every so often and breaking down every time. She's afraid that whatever caused her exes to leave her will catch up to Jay, too... but she's slowly letting her guard down as it seems both Kate and Jay are growing closer to her everyday. She's gaining her happy attitude back and everyone seems happy about that!
