Original Deerington Application

• Link to Accepted Deerington Application: Here.
• Additional Adjustments to include:

• Abby arrives in Deerington circa November 2020. Her purpose? Grabbing Lev and getting out. She's dumped in after having made contact with the Fireflies at long last, and while she's happy to immediately find Lev in Deerington, she isn't ever shy to let him know where she'd rather be.
• December brings White Walkers, and in facing them she meets several people that will later become part of her close circle. As a survivor, Abby is used to leaning on strangers in tough situations just to get by, so these interactions come naturally to her.
• New year new Abb– psyche! In January 2021 she runs into Joel Miller, public enemy number one from back home. Abby gives herself time to calm down before making any decisions, which stops her from doing something reckless and violent (a first for her). She confides to Jennifer about her history with Joel, and both her and Lev help Abby work through her fear and uncertainty over what to do.
• February was calm and h hahaha just kidding can you imagine. Abby and Clarisse exchange memories of their dads against their will, Abby's tinged with grief and love, Clarisse's with fear and shame. It's unpleasant for the both of them but they make an effort to talk about it afterwards, and it brings them closer together.
• But, turns out, catching a goddamn break doesn't exist in Deerington. March brings Lev and Abby's tension over staying versus leaving to a head. They have a falling out over the difference in opinion, and spent time apart as a result. This is upsetting for Abby, but she reaches out for comfort from the people she trusts, and finds they're happy to give it to her.
• Despite everything going to absolute pieces around her, this part of her time in Deerington is where Abby realises she now feels comfortable in her new surroundings. Part of her still longs for the Fireflies. She knows that if she were given a chance to leave, it wouldn't be as clean cut as it would have been when she first arrived. She's making friends, she's in a casual relationship with Jennifer that she enjoys, and she's benefiting greatly from the kindness of others. She's starting to open up more to the people who matter.
• April heralds a lot of fighting. Mostly with worms? What a refreshing change. By this time Lev and Abby have reconciled, and spoken calmly. Abby decides she's going to stay in Deerington and stop looking for ways to leave despite lingering misgivings. Her and Lev both promise to be more truthful and open with each other in future.
• April showers bring May... also showers. Peter Parker dies in May and doesn't come back. This coincides with Lev dying and while that hits Abby incredibly hard, she doesn't truly start to panic until she realises Peter has been gone for longer than the usual week. It forces her to face the possibility with life without Lev, but she's able to express that vulnerability in a healthy way with her close friends, ultimately working through it.
• Her household also expands in this time. Clarisse and Bella move in after their apartment crumbles, ditto Scorpia after Abby finds her wandering the fog alone and offers her room. Jennifer joins them later in the month. They have a dog now. The dog is called Socks. Also Lev does come back after a week and it's fine he's fine she's fine we're all fine nobody look at her
• Thanks to an encounter with one of the Wastes, Clarisse is forced to face her past with Abby right there at her side. This event marks the most significant moment in their current relationship, and after this point, Abby considers Clarisse her closest friend.
• Finally, June. Abby spends this month catching up with her people, finding out what their next moves are. Everybody is planning on heading on to the next place; this is good. Abby's come to find that she wants, very badly, to keep these people safe at her side. When she packs up and walks through the door with Lev she doesn't look back, and she leaves her Firefly pendant hanging from the lamp on her bedside table. Whatever lies ahead, she's committing herself to it. Wholly, and completely.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: Abby has no canon powers to speak of, she's merely a fit and healthy young woman
• Blood Type: Vileblood
• Omen: Hellhound (specifically a cŵn annwn). She's the size of a wolf, and her name is Medea.
• Blessed Day: May 19 because I want Baus to be her patron that's it
• Patron Pthumerian: Bausphomette
• Blood Power Manifestation: Abby is going to be resistant to poison and have a high pain tolerance; creating poison by touch will only happen in response to her really losing her temper (mumble mumble consequences of her actions whenever she chooses violence as the answer mumble). I'd also like for the blood to affect her nerves due to the absence of touch. If somebody hasn't physically touched her in a while, she starts to feel numb, but this goes away if she reaches out and asks for/takes comfort. I'm trying to get her into good habits.
