@solmints-messyocdiary’s Odile post earlier had me considering showing some Inspirations for Abigail!

Top to bottom, Left to right:

Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty (og version bc she has more fabulous clothing lol, the purple cape ugh 😩👌🏻)

The Evil Queen from Snow White & the Seven Dwarves (Apples being her favourite food… Same green eyes too, now that I think about it)

The Wicked Witch of The West from The Wizard of Oz (Evil witch drip)

Elvira from Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

The Dunwich Horror by H.P Lovecraft (her backstory stuff… deep lore stuff… those who know, know.)

The Salem Witch Trials (where she got her name)

Carroll Borland from Mark of The Vampire

Type O Negative’s “Black No. 1” (inspired her appearance, honestly pick any TON song and it suits her)

Mercyful Fate - “Evil” (the “I was born in a cemetery” lyric inspired her birth and her necromancy stuff lol, also the album Melissa is just straight up Abigail core)

She is a combination of a whole lot of fictional witch tropes and myths, goth girl stereotypes and a teensy weensy bit of Lovecraft in the otherworldliness and eldritch type way. Think of her as the mysterious ooky spooky lady in black you see in films sometimes, but given a bit more personality. That being… the mystery is there to hide vulnerability, she is actually just coping with trauma lol

I’m still trying to figure out her actual abilities tbh. Her aesthetic is definitely on point though. I’m sort of in the process of writing her backstory fic but it’s in the background to my other scheduled WIPs

Also I’ll do Max’s as well after this one!
