Abigail

Background

An orphan who grew up scraping out a living in dive bars and brothels in the West, Abigail is a strong, straight‐talking woman who has seen a lot of life and knows what it takes to survive against the odds. ROCKSTAR GAMES' DESCRIPTION OF ABIGAIL.

Abigail Marston was born in 1877 as Abigail Roberts. An orphan, Abigail eventually became part of the Van der Linde gang after being introduced to them all by Uncle in 1894. As a prostitute, she slept with most of the members of the gang, but ultimately fell in love with John and fell pregnant with their son, Jack, when she was only eighteen. She and John also had a daughter, sometime later. John temporarily left the gang for roughly a year when Jack was around one year old, but later returned. Abigail cared for John deeply and tried to get him to show more interest in their son, Jack. This resulted in arguments between the two, however, as John was not convinced that Jack was his son and had no interest in family life.

Personality

The life we led, that doesn't go away. It's never over. ABIGAIL MARSTON

Abigail is shown to be a motherly and protective woman. She's strong-willed, independent, and loves her family dearly and can be quite strict at times. She often finds herself at odds with John, disliking her husband's habits of endangering himself and the family in the name of revenge and redemption, not wanting to become a widow and more importantly, leaving their son fatherless.

Appearance

In 1899, Abigail is a young woman with blue eyes and dark brown hair, which she wears tied in a bun. When sleeping, she wears it in a braid, which reveals that her hair is a lot longer than it seems at first. Abigail usually wears a light brown or blue blouse, a worn-looking black belt, a dark blue or a checked green skirt, and black boots. At Colter she wears a checked grey and white knee-length coat, a grey scarf, and a dark brown patterned gloves. At the Horseshoe Overlook camp, she usually wears the same coat but unbuttoned and occasionally with a white shirt instead of the brown one. During a bank robbery in Saint Denis, Abigail wears a navy blue dress with white patterns, a dark blue belt with a bow, a beige hat, and dark blue gloves.

In 1907, Abigail often wears a blue plaid shirt, an orange shawl or brown scarf, a black belt with a golden buckle, a brown skirt, and black boots. Other outfits include a white shirt and a blue shawl with a more elegant skirt and hat, as well as an all white wedding gown in the end credits.

Her appearance is relatively similar in 1911, where she instead wears a worn-looking, checked beige and brown skirt, a dark blue blouse with a light green shirt underneath, a black belt, and black boots.
