Appearance

(Face Claim: Emilie de Ravin)

 

Eyes:
Abbey has average sized eyes that are a light silvery-blue with a very dark navy blue ring circling the edges. She believes that her eyes are her best features because they can be much more expressive than her facial expressions and she strongly believes that her eyes help put people at ease around her. Her blue orbs are framed by dark lashes that aren’t thick and they aren’t really long.

Hair:
Her hair shade differs because it can go from pale blond to a golden blond depending on if it’s summer or winter. Her eyebrows are constantly a dark blond though so at times when her hair is lighter they look much darker. Her golden locks are by nature curly but not extremely so, there are the days where she straightens her hair but usually it’s left alone and merely pulled into a half up half down ponytail or all up. And her hair falls half way between her shoulder blades and her elbows.

Skin Tone:
She’s fair skinned but she burns easily and can look pink if she does too much. Her face becomes flushed very easily and can appear that she’s blushing but it usually isn’t the case.

Bust:
She doesn’t have terribly large breasts because they’re a 34B, but she adores her chest. Abbey believes that if her chest was any larger she’d dislike them and if they were any smaller she’d look more boy-ish.

Build:
The blond is a little more inverted pear shaped. Her hips are a little narrower than her chest but not by too much, but her waist isn’t narrow enough to be called hourglass figured. If Abbey’s honest she is pretty indifferent to her body type.

Clothes Style:
Her work attire isn’t nearly as nice as her cousin’s. To work she wears nice jeans and blouses with usually a nice knit sweater over top (some people say her style is ‘granny’) and flats because she’s terrible in heels when she’s trying to run. Her gun is kept on her right side on her belt or belt loops. When outside of the workplace she… doesn’t change all that much. She will wear regular tees and tank tops but she likes to still wear knit sweaters. Abbey can class it up and she’ll wear skirts and dresses and maybe some heels if the situation calls for it.

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Preference:
Men

Turn Ons:
Taller guys, having her thighs rubbed (both outer and inner), intelligence.

Turn Offs:
Mean guys, tattoos, long facial hair, facial piercings.

Weaknesses:
She often sympathizes with the Unsubs or people who she shouldn’t. While some might see this as a way to get the Unsubs to open up to her this more often isn’t good because she wants to help them instead of put them in prison. But as she works more with the BAU she’s beginning to learn how to distance herself from the Unsubs more easily.  

Personality:
Abbey can be as stated very sympathetic to the Unsubs and everyone all around. This does give her a slight advantage when it has to deal with getting others to open up to her. Because it does seem like she understands where the Unsub or whoever is coming from more often than not this allows her to get closer to them than someone else who tries the “bad cop” approach. But this obviously is one of her downfalls because people can take advantage of her kindness and turn around and hurt her. Over time she does learn how to stop getting so emotionally invested in people.

She is an all-around nice person. Abbey listens to her superiors and shows respect when needed. She doesn’t talk down to children and if someone’s in need of help you can always count on her to be that person but again this is a downfall of hers because it’s easy for people to use this to their advantage. Because she’s so eager to please others she can spread herself too thin and exhaust herself and she can become emotionally drained.

Underneath it she’s kind of lonely and can obsess over her choices, she’ll wonder if she made the right one to a point where it’s unneeded stress that she puts on herself which can cause her to be depressed. She also is still a little flinch-y around people if they raise their hands or make sudden movements around her and that stresses her out too because she hates people knowing about what happened to her when she was younger.

In a nutshell you can say Abbey is a nice person who just spreads herself out too thin and can become easily stressed and depressed.

 Personality Points:

History:

 

Abigale was born to the Hotchner family: from a very young age she and Aaron shared something in common and it was that her father was also pretty abusive. As a toddler he would scream at her, hit her, and he would lock her up in a closet for days. This could be why she has always been skinny, but she never puts thought into this. Her mother died when she was 1 so she never knew her mom and really had no one to help her since Aaron had his hands full with his own problems. Abbey kept quiet about the abuse, and when she was closer to 6 she learned that the closet wasn’t so bad. In fact the closet had ended up becoming something of a safe haven for her when her dad would become drunk and even more violent. Abbey would hide in the closet with a lamp, pillows, and books and wait until the next morning when she would have to clean up after her dad and make sure he was still breathing.

Abbey since she could remember took care of herself, she didn’t mind it. How could you not mind something that you have known since birth pretty much? So the girl went through elementary school learning how to hide the bruises, sprains, and covering up and broken bones with effortless excuses (since she’s so sweet she can easily get away with lying because people believe her). Abbey got through elementary school with ease thanks to her best friend Daniel. He was like a brother to her, but when she entered middle school she began to have more problems. Her father got worse and Aaron began to come around more. They were visiting her and Aaron had noticed that she had a broken arm for what seemed like the third time in two years. The 12-year-old tried to convince the two that she was fine but Aaron ended up not believing her and eventually they took her from Dwayne and she ended up staying with Aaron and Haley since Aaron hadn’t wanted her to be put into the foster system and they didn’t have any other family for her to go to that he trusted.

Abbey focused on her school and she could graduate a year early which she did. The girl at 17 went to college and she decided to go for her PhD in psychology. For seven years Abbey stayed in college and studied, all the while she did keep in contact with Aaron and Sean. She would write them or call them every other day and on vacations or breaks she’d visit her cousins because they both worried over her more than they’d actually let her know. Aaron treated her a lot more like his daughter than cousin and the following events is why he ended up pulling a few strings for her and getting her into the BAU after she worked for only a year instead of the minimum three years. But Abbey isn’t aware of this fact.

While she had been in college Abbey had met back up with Daniel who had been gone since they were both 13, so upon meeting her old best friend the two started to rekindle the friendship that they had lost. This was in the first year of college, during the second year it was like they hadn’t even been separated. They were best friends all over again, and when they entered their third year of college together they ended up living together (it was a platonic relationship because Daniel was a very loud and proud homosexual) but at the time they didn’t know that Daniel had a stalker, the stalker was someone who he had once dated. So during their fourth year, a year since they moved in together, Daniel’s stalker Ross ended up attacking the two of them. He took them to his house and hid them in his basement where he beat and starved them.

They were kept down there for four full months and going on five. Aaron had been part of the search for her but because he didn’t know Daniel he wasn’t able to find her until going on the fifth month that she was missing. During the whole time Abbey kept herself between Ross and Daniel to make sure Ross didn’t rape Daniel, this caused her to be beat even more but because she was already used to being hit she managed to put up with it. Going on the fifth month Ross was at his ends with Abbey and he had knocked Daniel out and drug Abbey by her hair up the stairs and into the kitchen where he was just about ready to kill her when they were found because once she was drug upstairs she screamed and his neighbors called the police. Ross had ended up shot in the chest and killed. She and Daniel were taken to the hospital and afterwards Daniel left to go to Europe to get away from it all. They still keep in contact, he sends her photos and letters and she does likewise.

Aaron got her back into college and she did graduate with her PhD on time with the help of Adderall (she didn’t tell Aaron she was taking it but Sean knows). Abbey wasn’t addicted to it but once she got off of it was when she went to the doctor and was prescribed anti-depressants. Abbey worked with the local police department before she was recruited to the BAU where she’s worked for a full year.

A one bedroom apartment, it has a small kitchen, living room, dining room, and then upstairs the bedroom and bathroom.

Medical Problems:
Abbey has depression which is controlled with Cymbalta 22 mg which she takes twice a day.

She also has knee and back issues due to the severe abuse she took during her time with Ross. She can do her job but if she’s standing or doing too much her back or right knee will begin to bother her to the point where she has to take OTC pain medications.

If she’s really excited or really distraught and crying she’ll get hiccups. It’s really not something that causes her harm but it’s just sort of annoying because she has really high-pitched hiccups and it embarrasses her.

 Other:
If she spots a vintage phone even on a case she can’t help herself, she will buy it.
