Personal History:
It came as a great surprise when Abigale was born, three years after her the eldest Woters child Lilian, was. Like her sister before her, she was loved and cherished and well taken care of by the then wealthy family, though there was always a suspicion following her. At the time near her said conception, Mr. Woters was very much absent on a lengthy business trip. Due to the suspected ongoings of that business trip, Reynold never questioned whether or not he was Abigale's real father, though he knew in his heart that he was not. He never did find out exactly who her father was. Mrs. Woters told him that he had been an Austrian wizard that her mother had introduced her to ages ago, never disclosing any names. In reality, he was a squib who she had found in a pub who had been devilishly good-looking and had caught her eye. Thankfully, Mr. Woters thought she was a pureblood - as that was all he cared about other than her health - and from there, the cover-up began. No one outside of the immediate family knew anything of this, and Adela and Reynold did a very brilliant job of hiding it from all of their children. Abigale doesn't have the slightest idea that she doesn't belong wholly to her family, and both of her parents (blood or not) want to keep it that way.
Shortly after turning two, her younger sister Romey was born. Money quickly became tight for the Woters, especially with the arrival of their adopted son, Julian. As more and more children came into the Woters household, money became an issue, and the once rather rich family was not living quite as well as they would've liked. Luckily, they owned their house completely and there was enough room for all the children that would soon be in the house. Unlike her older sister Lilian, Abbi was quickly sent off to Hogwarts, a year after Julian. She was accepted into Slytherin, just as her parents had been hoping and she settled in rather quickly. There was some tension between her and her house mates, as she was much more friendly and outgoing than them - especially to other bloodlines and houses, but she managed to shrug it off and still enjoy her stay at Hogwarts. In her third year, Abigale sustained a very serious injury during a Care Of Magical Creatures class due to the arrogance and cockiness of some of her fellow students, and the resulting scars have made her very self conscious. Luckily, for the most part, that part of her body is never exposed at Hogwarts.
For most of her life, Abbi experienced ostracism from her sisters. The youngest ones quickly learned from the two closest to Abbi's age: Lilian and Romey. Both had qualms with her, Lilian feeling as though Abigale's birth took her out of the spot light, and Romey experiencing the "middle sister" syndrome. Most of the sisters plotted against her, finding one way or another to attack her viciously with pranks, traps, and anything else to upset and humiliate her. Ultimately, this lead to much of the paranoia that she has. After all, if people so close would act that way with her, why wouldn't those she had no relationship with?
Personality: Abigale is nothing if not hypocritical. She expects people to be both open with their emotions and forthcoming with information in their past where she is neither. She tends to be callous and extremely stingy with her affections. She is compassionate and sympathetic with other people, but she refuses to acknowledge her own emotions or have anything but superficial attachments. She often appears to be very trusting, but is almost always suspicious of other peoples motives and doesn't like to leave anything that matters to her (whether it be a project or her heart) in the hands of another.
Unlike some of her house mates Abbi is friendly with nearly everyone she meets, though her motives behind this mask of kindness are the same as her fellow snakes. She keeps relations with people she might not care for on the off chance that they might prove useful to her in the future. She constantly chooses her words carefully, letting a moment become awkwardly silent rather than saying the wrong thing. Though, don't get me wrong, Abigale is talkative. She simply knows when to shut her mouth. More often than not, she chooses to use words that can be interpreted in several ways, in case they too need to be manipulated later.
Despite somewhat deceiving appearances and antics, Abigale is actually very mature. She is rather intelligent and with her occasional bouts of insomnia, she has had more than enough time to develop her views on the world. While her thoughts and morals are very adult and serious, the side she shows to the world is extremely contrasting to that. Abbi comes off as fun loving and perhaps a little hyper at times. She appears to love people (though she is weary of getting to close to them) and spending time with them. However, she doesn't mind time alone in the least and at times hunts for it. She is very easily excited, though it is hard for her to express her happiness and excitement about things that really matter, as opposed to small, insignificant things.
Her friends are rare, for she trusts few. The people she does trust are those who actually want nothing to do with her; as you can imagine those aren't really friends then, are they? She believes that if someone seeks her out, they must be looking to use or manipulate her in some way. After all, isn't that what she is doing in seeking them out? Instead, people who are uninterested her mustn't wish to harm her, considering they wanted nothing to do with her in the first place.
Strengths: Musically Inclined; Unlike her sister, Abbi actually enjoys the piano lessons that her parents forced all of their daughters into. She is quite gifted at playing and during the summers she plays as an accompanist for money so she is able to buy herself new robes and books and doesn't have to wear hand-me-downs. Also, over the years, Abigale has discovered she actually has a very nice singing voice and is able to achieve a number of octaves. It is unfortunate, however, that she does not wish to pursue any career what-so-ever in that field. While her parents don't approve of it, since attending Hogwarts, Abbi has picked up the guitar and is beginning to learn how to play it. She is still learning, though anything involving music comes very easily to her and though she hasn't been playing for long, she is doing quite well as a beginner.
Thievery; Over the years, in attempt to build her collections, Abbi has perfected the art of stealing. She steals small things, things that could be passed off as being lost. Naturally she keeps all the things she's stolen and in her obsessiveness keeps them all in her collections.
Weaknesses:
Paranoia; Abbi, though she doesn't show it, is almost constantly paranoid. She tends to read too deeply into things and come to completely outrageous conclusions. If you asked her how she liked her Potions partner, even if she answered you quickly with a "very well", her mind would be buzzing. Did you ask her that because her partner wants to change? Of course her partner would want to change! Who would want her as a partner? You probably don't fancy being her friend much either. Or should you ask her what she's doing on Tuesday, she instantly suspects you've something planned for her, and her mind certainly does not shoot to good things either. Practical jokes, pranks, random hexings, those are the sorts of things she believes you have in store, and she is known to completely adjust her plans to avoid places and situations she has mentioned before. This makes her very unreliable when concerning plans with friends, as she often either forgets to go, or has chosen to not to for reasons that she knows would seem to insane and "out there" for her to explain. Friends never took well to you telling them you expected them to drop paint on you, or perhaps smush you with a boulder.
Uncoordinated; It seems a trait through all of the Woters family that none of them had any coordination. Thus, Abigale is complete inept when it comes to sports, muggle or wizard. Flying a broom? Perhaps you should instead ask her to break her own arm, as it is completely the same thing to her. Her one attempt at flying hadn't gone too horribly, but it had not gone well, and she couldn't ever imagine herself wielding a bat to ward off bludgers or tossing the quaffle about or even worse, trying to keep it out of the goals. Instead, she chooses to concentrate on her studies, and cheer on the Holyhead Harpies - her favorite team.
Greediness; Abigale is quite avaricious and extremely unwilling to share with others things that she has gotten for herself. If she was able to get her own things, why can't you? However, if it is a gift or she did not acquire it by her own means, she is willing to share, to a degree. You want a cookie that her mother baked her? Perhaps she'll give you a bite. Though, at times, Abigale can appear to be extremely generous, her intentions are hardly sincere. When she gives gifts, she does not forget, and slowly saves up favors that other people will owe her until she ultimately needs them, at which point she has no problem reminding people what she has done for them.
Lupus; Abigale has lupus, though to this day it remains undiagnosed. Her parents refuse to believe that anything is wrong with their children and never had her checked out for her persisting symptoms. Luckily for her, most of her symptoms are mild and she mostly only suffers from heavy fatigue, swelling of the joints, and the occasional migraine.
Fears: Abigale is deathly afraid of losing her family. This fear actually stems from her brother, Julian. When she asks him about his mother, he seems lost to find things that he remembers about her. This frightens Abigale; she believes that if someone as precious as Julian could forget someone so dear to him, she certain would not be able to lose her family members if they passed away.
Spending the better part of her life dealing with sisters who didn't much care for her, Abigale is always terrified that someone is plotting against her. Her paranoia only feeds this fear and she spends a lot of her time frequently trying to imagine how to get herself out of tricky situations.
Secrets/Hopes:
Abigale has many, many collections. She is some what obsessive with her collections, keeping them organized by group in little boxes at the bottom of her trunk. However, she is incredibly secretive, at times not even admitting that she actually collects things at all. Also, she doesn't just collect regular things. She takes things from her friends, keeping them locked away in boxes that contain more of their stolen things. Though she would never be willing to admit it - to anyone, not even herself - she does this because she is constantly worried that she will lose the ones she loves. This stems from her constant paranoia, and she fears if she does not have things to remember them by, she will forget them completely and her life will never be complete again.
A secret dream of hers is to write the Daily Prophet, and though she has never been a strong writer, Abigale works very diligently toward her goal. Thankfully, her Slytherin traits do not fail her and she writes tirelessly. Some of her most productive periods are when she is bedridden with Lupus, unless it has caused the swelling of her knuckles, where it becomes too painful to write.
Physical Description: All of the Woters' look very similar, and Abbi is hardly an exception. She is quite short, only 5' 1", though it doesn't bother her at all. Though, unlike both of her parents and many of her sisters, her hair is not the same bleach blond color. As her younger sister Romey described it, her hair is "dishwater blond", though she disagrees and says it merely has darker blonds and it makes her less boring than the rest of the Woters clan. Following the trend, Abigale is quite thin, though she does have a voracious appetite. Again, being the antagonist, Romey told her that it's going to catch up with her one day, but she cares not about that.

Alignment: Abigale's family supports Voldemort quite seriously, and though when she was younger she mindlessly went along with her parents view, she has very mature views on both Voldemort and the war. Secretly she is beginning to side against Voldemort, but she would never disclose this to her parents.

Sample RP post with the character. Please use third person style:
Abigale bounced down the stairs into the common room, looking positively refreshed. Today would be a good day; "Actually it be better be a fantastic day," she thought as she looked around the relatively empty common room. There was no sign of her mysterious aches and pains, and if good health was not enough reason to celebrate, the date would be.
It was, after all, her birthday. Her fourteenth birthday, no less. As far as she was concerned, this birthday marked the passage from being a child into being a young adult. Sure there had already been "thirteen", but thirteen was no more a teenager than a catepillar in a cocoon was a butterfly.
Blinking a few times, she turned on her heel to survey the common room. It wasn't too awfully early; where was everyone? There was a sudden lurch of panic in her stomach as her mind skipped from one horrible plan to another. It was her birthday, why wouldn't those horrible Slytherins in her house have plotted a surprise attack on her? Swallowing hard, Abbi turned cautiously toward the exit, her eyes narrowed as she peered from one side to the other. Nothing seemed to be up just yet.
Slowly, but surely, Abbi made her away across the common room, rousing but a few glances from the tired but skeptical older years. Stepping out of the common room, she thought she was home free. "Hah!" she thought triumphantly, "You have to get up pretty early in the morning to out-smart Abigale Woters." Hearing something around the corner suddenly, Abbi searched her pocket for her wand. And she thought she had been in the clear.
Well, that was because she was. From around the corner popped a rather tall redheaded boy, caring an armfull of packages with a noisemaker in his mouth. He blew it once more before setting down on top of the many boxes he held. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY," he cried loudly enough to wake the rest of Slytherin house.
"Shhh, Julian!" Abbi implored, positively beaming.
