Hobbies:
Tennis - Abigail is an accomplished tennis player. She can often be found, when not studying or with friends, playing a game at the town's tennis club.
Star Gazing - A telescope gifted to Abigail by her father started her interest in astronomy. Now, on a clear night Abby can be found plotting planet movements and searching for constellations.
Reading - Her favourite type of book? Romance and Historical Dramas.
Abigail has the ability to generate and manipulate graviton, a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of a gravitation field. Since gravity is everywhere in the universe everywhere she goes she has something to draw upon. She can bend gravity to make an area very 'heavy' or 'light', making objects either float with less gravity or be crushed with heavy gravity.
Abby can alter the gravity of a particular area or repel/attract objects using herself as the epicentre, no matter their mass. She can 'bend' gravity to cause objects to 'fall' towards or away from a particular object in a similar way to telekinesis. By making the gravity around one object greater she can crush that particular item while leaving the surrounding area untouched.
She frequently uses her powers to repulse opponents. This is done either by altering the gravity between the opponent and herself to create a blast like effect that will fling the opponent away. She also frequently increases gravity until they are unable to move or sends surrounding debris flying at them by making them the centre of a gravity field. She can also use her ability to make herself, and others, fly. This is done by reducing gravity. She can manipulate the gravity around her in turns to pull her one way or another.
Weakness:
If Abby finds herself in a complete vacuum her powers become much weaker. Although she will still be able to create and manipulate whatever gravity is present, she cannot do so to such a level as she normally would.
Abigail relies on her sight when using the more detailed parts of her powers. Sure, she can make the whole area 'heavier' or 'lighter', but if she wants to affect the gravity around a certain object she must be looking at the item.
Abigail has been known to faint and develop headaches if she tries to do too much with her powers or create a gravity field too large. While, theoretically, she should be able to create a black hole, the energy required to do so is currently more than Abby is capable of.
Strengths:
Organisation - Abigail prides herself on her organisational abilities. Her rooms is spotless and her school work is always scheduled and submitted on time.
Cooking - While her range of meals might not be too large, the ones she does make are of an exceptional standard.
Sports - Sports, in particular racket sports, have always come easily to Abby. Tennis is her favourite and she currently holds the regional under 20s title.
Flaws:
Temper - Abby's temper can often get the better of her. She doesn't take well to being insulted of looked down on.
Perfectionist - If something isn't done right the first time, she'll scrap it and try again until it's perfect.
Music - An musical instrument in Abby's hands is more like a torture device than anything else.
Personality:
Abigail is confident, having no problem striking up a conversation with strangers or arguing her point of view in any debate. While she wouldn't exactly consider herself an extrovert, she isn't one to shy away from company or people either. Rather, Abby sits somewhere in the middle of introvert and extrovert. She enjoys spending time with her friends, but is equally happy to curl up on the couch to watch a movie by herself or read a book.
Intelligence is another of Abby's traits. Her mind is quick to understand problems and she can follow a logical process to solve it. On top of this she has always been able to focus when needed. She has never had problems studying. Abby has always been determined and she frequently pushes herself to the limit, striving to be the best she can be. She will frequently set goals and work towards accomplishing them. She is a perfectionist through and through. If something isn't good enough the first time, Abby will retry and retry until she's completed it to her set standard.
As the daughter of the town's mayor, Abby has always felt there are certain expectations for her to live up to. While she may flaunt several rules, most notably using your powers responsibly, she is not rebellious. She will happily help her parents out if asked and frequently helps out school and town events. Abigail also sits on Benjamin High's Student council, a position which means she often has to set an example for other students.
Abigail has always been controlled and organised. She has never been one of those children who wandered around bare foot and with mud in their hair, neither was she likely to be found daydreaming. Abby has always been attentive and aware of what was happening around her. She dislikes mess and disorganisation, taking pride in her appearance and her work. That isn't to say that Abby can't let loose every once and a while, but she'll never be the one found throwing up in the garden during a party.
Abigail is, essentially, a friendly person. Around her friends she's always ready with a happy smile and a helpful word of advice. She won't ignore or insult anyone just because she doesn't like the look of them, however she most likely won't go out of her way to talk with someone who she doesn't have much to do with. She isn't outright nasty, but if someone gets on her nerves she'll let them know.
In the case of persistent annoyances, Abigail is likely to lose her temper. She hates being looked down on, judged and insulted. Comments that might slide off one person seem to stick to Abby and get her back up. Other ways to get on Abby's nerves are to disturb her while she's studying or reading. On more than one occasion she has reduced the gravity around a group of talkative students while in the library as a warning to them to be quiet.
In terms of the school's hierarchy, Abby sits at the top amongst the Elite. She is ranked no. 2 and takes pride in her position. Her power is strong and she has trained hard to control it. Her powers have both offensive and defensive capabilities. She wouldn't trade it for the world.

History:
Abigail Rose Porter was the second and youngest child born to Malcolm Reece Porter and Freya Marianne Porter. Her mother was and still is the town mayor, and her father is one of the town's main doctors. As the daughter of such imminent residents, she was often brought along to dinners. From a young age she learned that manners could get a person a long way. She was always a polite girl and strived to live up to her parents' high expectations.
Her older brother, a talented musician, quickly proved himself in the musical field. Abigail, trying to follow in her brother's footsteps quickly found that when her hands touched a musical instrument, ear-splitting noise was sure to follow. She quickly found that musical talent had skipped her in favour of her brother and so Abby was forced to look elsewhere for something to make her stand out from the crowd. She soon found that she had a particular talent on the sports field. Tennis in particular caught her eye and she was soon taking twice weekly lessons.
It was during one of these lessons that Abby discovered what her powers were. Of course she knew she had powers, but what exactly they were had yet to be deduced. Her father had a healing touch and her mother could mentally project copies of herself, so it was a surprise when Abby discovered her gravity control. A tennis ball, streaking across the court towards an unprepared Abigail, suddenly stopped midair. At first it was thought that she possessed telekinesis. It was only after she almost crushed her house that her parents realised it was gravity she could control.
School has always been a place that Abby has enjoyed. She likes learning, English and history being her favourite subjects. She was never bullied, her quick temper and powerful abilities meaning that any potential bullying was quickly snuffed out. Her powers and dedicated to training them meant that she quickly rose through the ranks of the school hierarchy. She is now amongst the top group of students at the school, second from the top in fact.
At the age of five Abby decided that she wanted to become a vegetarian. She showed a surprising amount of determination for a young child, often glaring at her parents when they made a joke of her choice. Of course they just thought it was a passing phase. Twelve years later though Abigail is still a vegetarian and her parents often tell the story of how their little girl would frown at them whenever they tried to offer her meat.
