PERSONALITY:
Abby follows the quote "follow or be followed" to the tee. She doesn't work well with people. Either she's going to be the boss and give the orders, or be given orders and follow them religiously. She believes it's her Leo personality shining through.
She knows how to have fun and loves to go to parties but if she had the choice between staying at home and working in the greenhouse or getting smashed with her friends, she's probably choose the first. She isn't good with handling crowds, not in the way that they scare her, but in the way that they annoy her. She's not exactly anti social but doesn't go out of her way to make somebody feel comfortable.
She's also terribly insecure, which is why she considers her siblings a bit of a competition, especially Alice and tries to outshine them in every way possible. She's cunning, clever and knows just what to do to get what she wants. Incredibly ambitious, she also has a tendency to become a bit selfish in her drive to get to her goals.
When it comes to boys though, she's much more confident. She flirts a lot with them, although she hasn't lost her virginity yet and is a bit confused about her feelings for girls. She wonders if she'd bi and is open minded about such things.
She's also terribly superstitious, taking extra care to not do anything on the Friday the 13ths or to break a mirror and such. She's actually very responsible in nature and would make a good leader and hopes to become prefect the term after the coming one. She also has a tendency of trying to escape from her problems. If anything seems imperfect to her, instead of fixing it, she'll turn her back to it because she feels like if she can forget it, then it's non existent. That is probably the reason she started running on athletic tracks and around her home from a young age.

AND I’M THE ONLY ONE

HISTORY:
Abby was born to one of the most loving set of parents and sister there probably ever was. From a rather young age, she looked up to her father and Grace, following them around. She would trying to mimic her father's study, taking small children's sets of pales and shovels, digging away in the garden and sowing seeds. She'd watch her sister practice dance and try to mimic the movements before bed.
For some reason though, she never could quite relate to her twin, Alice. She always truly felt like it was a mistake that Alice was born at the same time at her. She loves her, don't get her wrong, and would probably do anything in her power to help her when she needs her, but she just feels like a bit of her glory got stolen when Alice was born. It meant they were now the "Longbottom Twins" and she was merely a half of a whole, something she didn't like. She often wished that Alice was at least a year older or younger, because she knows on some level Alice doesn't deserve the annoyance Abby has towards her.
She was four years old when she started becoming superstitious and believing in karma, a frighteningly young age to do so. She'd been out playing in the backyard when she'd felt annoyed that Alice had come and joined her in her gardening. Irritated, she'd tried to shove her away and had instead lost her footing and fallen into a pit. When her mother finally helped her out and comforted her, she was too busy thinking that the only reason she'd fallen in was because she'd meant to push Alice in.
When Abby got her acceptance to Hogwarts, she actually really wanted to get sorted into Gryffindor, like her father. But when she was put in Slytherin, she slowly let go of that dream and tried hard to make friends in her new house. It didn't help that Alice was a Gryffindor. In fact the whole first week, she cried whenever she saw any of the first years with their brand new, golden and red ties. However, her house finally grew on her and today she is proud to be a Slytherin *(see footnote at the end of app.)
The summer before she started her second year, she got interested in muggle athletics and actually started running and jogging every day. She's now rather good at it too, going for jogs anywhere she can find a place to.
In her third year, she started becoming more outgoing than she used to be, hanging out more with people her age and taking part in class discussions. However, she's the kind of person who can easily thrive without people around her as well.
Now, ready to start her fourth year, she's beginning to discover her identity, what with so many hormones and teenage drama flying around all the time. But she's too excited to not plunge into it head on. She loves to experiment with new looks, flirting with boys and going for parties which seem to be becoming the new thing for people her age. But unlike most of her classmates, who seem lost, she's desperate to break away from her nagging insecurity and embrace the change.
*Footnote:- According to the request ad, and whatever I've PMd with Bree and Liss, I'm guessing Abby obviously gets to keep her old house, even if she's starting with a clean slate?
