• Name: Abigail 'Abby' Elizabeth Fisher [maiden: Murphy]
• Age: 235 (25 during the time the bombs fell, when she was put into cryogenic stasis)
• Birthdate: July 10, 2052
• Prewar Occupation: Before the war, she had completed law school, making plans to use her law degree to help prosecute animal cruelty cases. She had taken a break after graduation, upon discovering that she was pregnant, but had plans to re-enter the workforce after things had settled down.
• Physique: 5'5 and somewhere around 130 lbs.
• Appearance: Blue eyes ('steel' option in-game); hair is red, long, and very wavy. It's usually a mess of tangles. Her complexion is very freckly. She also has rosacea, so outbreaks occur quite often where her face will get very red, sometimes accompanied by a rash. She used to favor the Silver Shroud attire, liking how it hid most of her features. These days, however, she normally wears a Nuka Cola shirt, jeans, a stag pendant (single-head), and a medical pouch (having given the Silver Shroud outfit to her friend, Bartholomew).
• Current Whereabouts: The Slog, working at Mercy's clinic.
• Family:
  Noah Murphy (father) Deceased 2069, lung cancer
  Martha Murphy (mother) Missing since 2080, presumed dead
  Neal Murphy (older brother) Alive; ghoul

Abby's family lived in Salem. Her father was in the military, so she didn't see him very often growing up. Instead, she looked up to her older brother, Neal. When Abby was old enough to hold a rifle, Neal took her on trips to the woods to teach her how to shoot. He also spent time indulging her in her fascination with critters, showing her the best spots to find frogs and bugs. It was this love of animals that would carry over into her adulthood.

In school, Abby didn't have many friends. She kept to herself for the most part. She was bullied quite a bit, though it died down for a little while when Neal threatened those who would pick on her. After Neal left Salem, however, things got even worse. She hated high school and did her best to just get through it. She did have a summer fling with one of her friends, but Abby had wanted more out of it than her girlfriend.

After graduating, Abby left for law school, where things got moderately better. She gained a little more confidence, going on a few dates before meeting Nate. He was home on leave visiting a mutual friend, who introduced him to Abby. The two eventually got married. Around the time that Abby graduated from law school, she discovered she was pregnant. She took a break from the working world to give birth and get settled down in her life with an infant. She made plans to return to work, however.

Abby became the Sole Survivor in Vault 111 during the events that destroyed the world. The events between her leaving the vault and the end of the Fallout 4 main plotline can be found in "Skin Deep".

After the events of Skin Deep, Abby took up residency in the Slog, where she began to work in Mercy's clinic training as a medic.

Abby is currently in a poly relationship with both Hancock and Cross (rosegaarden's OC).

I DON'T THINK I COULD TRADE ANY OF THIS
TO GO BACK TO HOW EVERYTHING WAS…
I THINK... I'M HAPPY."
