#but will the lack of reception stop me from rambling about Abby? no <3

[sisturn]

// brother and i attacked fuelweaver yesterday (and failed horrendously due to me forgetting weatherpains) so it’s got me thinking abt canon-verse abby having sanity just like the survivors… everything effects her far less than it would a living person and she has a much higher threshold of tolerance, but shadow monsters will still spawn and attack her—in game terms, unlike the survivors, if she’s below half sanity then the monsters will be aggressive. abigail can’t really fight the monsters at all and would have to completely rely on someone else to help her.

the lower her sanity is, the less coherent she is (even to wendy) and the more mindlessly aggressive she becomes. more than one potion being applied to her saps at her sanity for two reasons, one being that she doesn’t enjoy the mixed feelings the concoctions give her.

additionally, i’m also thinking abt how abby is… definitely not a regular ghost by many means. in the constant, the moon tends to play in revival and disturbance of ghosts and stuff, cause the ghosts only appear from graves on full moons(or from set pieces); whereas the shadows can’t do that on their own. since abigail was specifically brought into the constant by the throne’s power, her ectoplasmic composition has nightmare fuel in it. because of this, she doesn’t have the bluish tint that moon-pulled constant ghosts do and can operate independently.

abigail still has a temper due to the violent nature of ghosts as a species, but she’s far more emotionally intelligent than the hostile ghosts in regards that she can calm down from being angry and has the capacity to be completely mellow when in the right circumstances(e.g. when her flower is placed on an active sisturn or if she’s directly and firmly told to be calm via her flower).

abby is still affected by the moon. the full moon causes her to be in a permanent rile up state, and mourning glories temporarily delude the potency of the nightmare fuel in her ectoplasm, making her more vulnerable to alterations and physical interactions. that’s primarily how potions are so effective on her, and how the nightshade nostrom works to make her aggressively powerful even in daylight. this is also the other reason why it’s incredibly dangerous for her to have more then one effect applied at the same time—if her ectoplasm is thinned enough, it takes a toll on her mental state and general health.
