Editing Character:Abigail Williams (section)

== Character Description ==
Abigail Williams was a simple, soft-spoken teacher for much of her adult life. All that changed on March 12, 1942, when her little boy Daniel was assaulted near the family home. Abigail saw the attack from their house's 2nd-story window; helpless to intercede, the boiling mix of fear and hate led to the brutal emergence of her Talent, the ability to psychically tear people into bloody shreds. Several weeks of therapy and legal process later, she was drafted into the United States army, eventually winding up in a TOG squad.

During her training, much of Abbie's Talent-related training focused around hardening her to the effects of her own violent Talent. While she became fairly good at bottling up her disgust, she was never really comfortable with her power. After the war, she rarely used her power again--partially because it only worked against living animal or human targets, refusing to activate when she directed it even at plants. Upon the end of World War II, she returned to home, family, and teaching. In 1947, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Layla, who would become a Talent in her own right--a Wild Talent.
