“Once upon a time my life was normal. Then the mirror in our basement 'ate' me.”
— Abby, Fairest of All


Abby is the main protagonist in the Whatever After series. Throughout the series, she travels through fairy tales with her brother, Jonah, giving characters a new and (often) better happily ever after. She currently lives in Smithville with her family.

Personality[]

Abby is a kind and caring sister, though she is also quite bossy. Abby also easily gets upset and cries when she doesn't get her way, like when she tagged Penny in tag, but instead of becoming "it" Penny froze (resulting in a grudge against Penny). She was also upset when Anisa became carnival leader instead of her, and when she didn't win the fifth-grade spelling bee. Abby has proved to be smart by solving fairy tale problems numerous times. Abby gets the love of reading from her Nana. Abby sees herself as a very logical person, as she wants to be a judge when she grows up. She is also very protective of her brother (Jonah) and always does the best she can to protect him in all ways.

Occasionally, Abby may act selfish if she lets her envy get the better of her. She dislikes how Penny and Robin are friends because she has to compete against Penny for Robin's attention. When Robin wanted to spend time with Penny instead of with Abby and Frankie, Abby forced her to choose between sides. In Beauty Queen, Abby was jealous that Penny's painting was much better than hers, so she deliberately spilled water over Penny's painting out of spite.

Appearance[]

Abby has wavy brown hair past her shoulders. She also has freckles dotting her nose and big, dark green eyes. Her default outfit consists of a pink hoodie over a striped top, a blue skirt with grey leggings, and a pink headband on her head.

This outfit sometimes changes between different boxsets. On the boxset of books 1-9, she is seen wearing a tiara, a yellow top, and pink high tops. On the boxset of books 1-11, she is seen wearing a gold headband with three stars on it and a purple T-shirt with a pink heart on it.

Abby is also seen on every cover of the books dressed as the fairy tale character the novel is based on.


Etymology[]

The name Abby comes from the Hebrew/Jewish name אֲבִיגַיִל / אֲבִיגָיִל, or Abigail, which means "Father's Joy", or "My father is exultation" or "My father is joy". The name Abigail can be shortened and adapted to many different names, including Abby, which is only fit as the main protagonist of the book is Jewish.
