[COLOR=goldenrod][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]Name[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]Abigail Jane Tackett[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[COLOR=goldenrod][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]Age[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]17[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[COLOR=goldenrod][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]Appearance[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]The most oft expressed phrase at Abigail's expense is "When'cha gon' tie the knot?" and that isn't just because Abigail is an independent seventeen year old girl with a significant lack of a significant other. The youthful Tackett girl is not homely in the slightest. She also has inherited her father's blue eyes and her mother's dirty blonde hair. Abigail was bred on the farm and worked on the farm. As a result to being a farmhand, Abigail is well-conditioned and suited to the work of tending, laboring, and hunting; though her shorter, more femine build is still weak by comparison of the burly workers her father hired following the war. While Abigail isn't privy to admit she's weaker than a man, it is hard for her to make the argument that she could pull the same weight.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[COLOR=goldenrod][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]Personality[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]Abigail is her father's daughter, through and through. Much like her father, Abigail is a hard-working southerner who keeps busy with what the farm needs and what is expected of her. Also like her father, Abigail isn't particularly keen on tolerating snide comments, hollow excuses, or particular ignorance; if you're going to work on the farm you better know how to do your job and if you don't you better know how to listen to instructions. If [i]Abigail[/i] can pull her own weight without complaints there is no excuse worth uttering when a "strong, independent, and earnest man" simply [i]can't[/i]. In fact, if Abigail hears such excuses it tends to force her to be curt and blunt in her responses, sometimes antagonistically so. This is not a surprise given that Abigail has inherited her father's renowned temperament and runs just as hot as the old cantankerous patriarch of the family.

However, one redeeming aspect of Abigail's personality is that she is not [i]exactly[/i] like her father. Abigail doesn't see the "colored races" as subhuman nor does she think they deserve to be treated unkind. The reason being for this, of course, is partially due to being raised alongside transient negros and hispanics and her own fears of being treated subhuman due to the fact she is secretly a queer woman living in rural Florida. With that said it is clear that Abigail isn't curious or interested in the customs of other cultures and will not go out of her way to learn their language, manners, or interests. They are the farm's [i]employed[/i] laborers, not her friends.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[COLOR=goldenrod][INDENT][SUP][SUB][H3]History[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT]Abigail Tackett was born in Cypress Hollow in 1917, the youngest of two daughters in a successful family of laborers, farmers, and scavengers. Unlike her elder sister, Abigail has never had an interest in the "outside world" nor was particularly interested in furthering her education. In fact, Abigail was plenty proud of where she came from and the people around her. For Abigail, the only things that have mattered to her throughout her life was the Tackett Farmstead and the people of Cypress Hollow. Though it would be a bond that would serve to be a double-edged sword when she came of age many years later when she discovered that something wasn't quite right. 

For as rough around the edges and proud of her family as Abigail was as a child, there was always a weirdness with her growing up. She gravitated towards the usual hobbies farmer's sons had a interest in yet she didn't particularly have girlish crushes. Her father often secluded her from such encounters, though when she did eventually meet boys her own age she didn't really care for them beyond her competetive, hot-tempered ways. She liked working with her hands and oftentimes found her father mumbling in one of his drunken fits that she was more son than daughter - a fact that Abigail was already realizing as she made a romantic connection with her childhood friend, Dorothy Pickford. 

Abigail wasn't sure what to think of herself or the consequences of it coming out that she was a queer in rural Florida during the Great Depression. Perhaps it was the childhood curiosity, the desperation of the times, or something else. Whichever it was, Abigail knew she was as queer as a two dollar bill; and as scared as she was about herself and Dorothy's safety she wasn't old enough or brave enough to do anything about it but continue to hide it. Dorothy's family seemed to be ignorant to what was happening behind the scenes as the two grew older and much much closer. Perhaps it was the fear that made Abigail seek to be more clever and more quiet when it came to her escapades; after all, she saw how her sister's promiscuous behavior had earned the paddle. She couldn't imagine what he would've done if it turned out that his younger and more [i]responsible[/i] daughter was a damned fairy under his nose.

She wouldn't. It would never get out. But she would not stop being herself.

At home Abigail aspired to continue working on the farm at one hundred percent capacity; an ambition that molded her into the ideal Tackett by the time she was a full-bodied adult of seventeen years old. Her sharpshooting, hunting, and various laborer skills were [in her mind] equal to that of any transient that her father took on and she was privy to keep working on the Tackett Farmstead. After all, the depression was going to end eventually and she wasn't fixing to leave Florida just because of her particular sexuality. Abigail truly believes she can keep her true nature secret to everyone around her and at the same time be the best person she can be in service to the farm's needs.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
