The Character: Abigail's background within the Van Der Linde Gang was touched upon briefly in the first game, but in the second we as players really got to the meat of her character.

Her scepticism of Dutch's leadership, coupled with her protective nature for Jack sewed seeds early on as to what might have prompted the Marstons to leave the gang.

Abigail doesn't have much in terms of story for the first half of RDR2, but once the gang relocates to Beaver Hollow, her relevance and crucial part in the story gains momentum.

The Actor: Nora Zehetner might be more remembered by mainstream audiences as the character Eden from NBC's Heroes. Her career has spanned back further and one of the more standout roles that should get more praise is as an elusive femme fatale in Rian Johnson's noir Brick.

There is some great range to Zehetner, and with interesting roles like a Russian spy in Designated Survivor, it's proven she can take strong roles when offered to her.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
