| History |
Meet Cristina Eloise Laurent, a famous French model that enjoyed doing as she pleased when she was younger. Although a pure blood, she enjoyed playing with muggles and wizards alike as they bent to her every whim and whimsy. She was a very sociable person and her face often graced the tabloids, but with the influence of her family, nasty rumours and the like were dispelled of early on.
Few men were immune to her charms and laughter except for one. She had arrived on London for a shoot and the photographer, a supposed prodigal one was running it. Kevin Philip Tompson took his job seriously and he had met so many models in his short career that he had become somewhat immune to their looks. Cristina was immediately intrigued at this nonresponsive young man and instantly made it her goal to get to know him better prolonging her stay in London for that very reason. Kevin tried to fend her off but Cristina was used to getting what she wanted and Kevin realized that soon enough. Despite all this, the two came to know each other on a more intimate level and it was only a matter of time before Kevin proposed to Cristina who agreed to even leave her hometown of Aix-en-Provence for Kevin’s hometown, Oxford.
Abbigale Maelle Thompson was born in Oxford to Cristina and Kevin Tompson. Her childhood was filled with plenty of fond childhood memories for Abbigale, but they were of course peppered with those sour ones where the neighbourhood children would tease her about her weight. She was a rather heavy set child, but her mother insisted it was only something that she would grow out of seeing as she and her husband were both slim themselves. Unfortunately it would only be until her 3rd year at Hogwarts that should would lose her baby fat and look much more like her mother.
Before that time however, Abbigale tried to pretend that it didn’t bother her that much and learned that using words was a much more effective tool than trying to fight with her fists. It was her way of defence against the cruel words of others and she would always tell herself that one day she would show them that she would turn out to be more than just a fat girl who assumed wasn’t good at anything.
Her aunt played a pivotal role in helping Abbigale discover her love for plants and charms. She was admittedly, a bit of a black sheep in the family, but Abbigale loved her aunt who was an intelligent woman and had gained leaps and bounds of recognition at St. Mungo’s. In Abbigale’s mind, being able to recognized and have attention would eliminate any sort of negative comments that may come her way and she strived to combine her love of healing and intelligence towards that goal. She often visited her grandparents in her mother's hometown and she also grew up speaking fluent French in no time at all.
Receiving a letter from Hogwarts was inevitable with the rich magic in her background and Abbigale was sent off to Hogwarts with a mixture of excitement and dread. School life for Hogwarts was admittedly still a bit difficult for her; muggle or not, they all commented under their breath about her appearance. Abbigale turned her nose to it though and pretended that none of it mattered to her whatsoever, making a bit of reputation for herself almost as soon as she entered the great castle walls. She revealed in the social life and still managed to keep up with the school work on top of that.
Once she shed her baby fat, a swell of confidence bloomed from somewhere within Abby and everybody definitely took notice. She looked every bit her mother’s daughter then and the male population of Hogwarts obviously noticed as well. Besides her new-found confidence, Abby was still very much the same person she was before the change in appearance. She still wanted to go into medicine and probably even help people keep up their appearances especially if it concerned scars. There were those that called her vain and conceited, but she always thought that appearances were equally as important as her brains were.
After shedding the baby fat, Abby was quickly intergrated into that group of Slytherin girls. She did get into her share of trouble, but she was smarter than some of the others and as a result knew when she was getting too far in over her head. Abby played a bit of a motherly role as a result with those girls and her way with words helped get through to reason with them the way others couldn't. She became aquainted with the Hufflepuff crowd along the however during a spat with that group of girls and slowly became a kinder, gentler person. Abbigale returned to spending most of her time with the Slytherin crowd when a nasty rumor started spreading around, something that she brought upon herself.
While it was an upsetting time for her, it only helped her become stronger and did help her cope with the dirty looks and whispers that she was getting. This wasn’t to say that she wasn’t sorry for what she did, but she knew that people needed time to cool off so she was smart enough to give it to them.
She did make up with her friends in the end and made new ones in the process and finished the rest of the year with little bumps or bruises and graduated as a few of the people at the top of her class. As per her mother’s suggestion, she applied for Healer training right away and entered into it alongside her best friend. Before it started though, she took some time off to travel France and visit her grandparents whom she hadn’t seen in a while.
Healer training was tough, but Abbigale was determined to follow through her goal of becoming a healer and that stubborn mind set was something that stood out to the doctors at St. Mungo's who took notice of her exceptional work with healing charms, potions and herbology skills. After proving herself as more than capable of being a Healer, Abby had been sent off to numerous hospitals in France because of her ability to speak the language and has made many connections in the medical field through that.
She's currently residing in London, but she does shuttle back and forth between St. Mungo's and other hospitals in France that require her skills on a regular occasion. |
| Looks |
Abbigale had always been on curvier side when she was growing up, and while she had been a bit sensitive about it then (and is now); her shape has slimmed down considerably since she had left school. She still holds her mother's model curves and has kept them that way with her morning and evenings runs. With her wavy dark brown, ivory skin, almost black hair and gray-blue eyes, she’s been known to cause a few double takes when she walks down the street. Abbigale tends to keep her hair loose when she's not at work, and when she is, it's usually kept in a messy bun or ponytail.
She stands at 5’9”, growing a few inches since she left school and has an eye for what fits her. While she owns clothing that hugs her curves, she prefers to wear dresses and large comfy sweaters. She practically lives in boots and low heels but has been known to shuffle around the house in sweatpants and slippers. Even at work, she dresses with a bit of a flair, saying that appearences are rather important no matter where you go. She prides herself on having rather fashionable clothing and having a mother that was a former model that still keeps in touch with her old contats certainly helps. As a result, she is rather neat, but not to a point where she is obsessive over it.
Since growing up, she’s matured not only in personality but her looks have also softened and her features are more doll-like than they were before in her Hogwart’s days. |
| Personality |
Despite being a kind person at heart, Abbigale had been sorted into Slytherin, but not without reason. She had a rather mean streak when she first started school partly because of how the children would make fun of her weight. In her defence she grew up with a sharp tongue, choosing to pick words over fists and shut out anyone who tried to come near her scared that the would only cut her down. She had a bit of a reputation for having the best comebacks and was often accused of starting gossip at school. While she did eventually grow out of her baby fat, Abbigale had long since developed a thick skin to what people said about her attitude or appearance. While stabs at her appearance still do get to her, she doesn’t give people the opportunity to do so unless she can help it. That side of her subsided somewhat when she was slowly getting to know the Puff crowd.
There was also a bit of a one sided rivalry between she and Aurelia (Abbigale being the one who seemed to think the two were competing). Despite ending up best friends with the red head, Abbigale has always been a little jealous of her friend something that she just couldn’t and still can’t help. She’s an intelligent girl and some people don’t see past her many layers, but her mind is a close second to looks which was surprising to some to hear that she had met the requirements to become a Healer specializing in plants and healing charms.
Abbigale is a rather charismatic and kind person despite her blunt way of stating things. She was often known in school to volunteer to commentate on the Qudditch matches and organized cheering sections for the teams that were playing. She’s talkative and seems to be able to find at least something to say to everybody no matter who they are. To say that she was social was an understatement as well. Once she grew out of her awkward stage, Abbigale seemed to be brimming with confidence and she was quite a hit with the boys. Regardless, it has been difficult for her to keep a steady relationship not because she’s not faithful or committed, but because she cannot seem to find someone whom she can put her undeniable trust into. With all of her friends suddenly settling down or finding that 'someone', Abby can't help but feel a bit panicked. As much as she wants to find someone to be with, she tells herself that it's her schedule that doesn't allow it. After being independant for that long as well, is a bit difficult for Abby to find herself relying on others.
Underneath her now confident nature and still sharp tongue nature, Abbigale still struggles with the idea of self image and would do anything to seem like she doesn’t care about any of that anymore. She strives for attention even sometimes unintentionally.
There are few people who Abbigale has put her trust fully into and while she does have many friends, to say that Abbigale trusts you without a doubt is something. She's fiercely loyal and you better hope you're not on her bad side if you've done something to her loved ones. Her sharp tongue is almost subdued to playful jabs and she smiles more sincerely than she usually does around those that she loves. No favour or task for a friend is impossible once Abbigale decides to do it; she’s rather driven that way. |

Abbigale's companion is a white Maine coon cat whose name is Mogget. He's a rather affectionate fellow and doesn't like the idea of her leaving for her long shifts at St. Mungo's.
Photography has always been a hobby of Abbigale's, something that she picked up from her father who still does his work, and she does dabble in it in her sparetime. She also grows a little flower and herb garden on the rooftop of her loft. |
