Abigail Williams

Thou art a sinner...the knots in seven ropes.

To seek atonement in the heretical land is to reap the devil's harvest.

...Who will be the next sacrifice the innocent girl selects?

Height/Weight: 152cm, 44kg

Origin: History

Region: North America, Massachusetts

Alignment: Chaotic-Evil

Sub-Attribute: Earth

Gender: Female

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed young girl.

It all happened at the end of the seventeenth century...

Witch trials took place in the Puritan village of Salem.

A young girl named Abigail Williams was one of the first to show signs of demonic possession.

The unusual symptoms soon spread to the other girls, and many villagers were accused of witchcraft over the course of the next year.

In the end, two hundred people were arrested. Nineteen of them were hanged, two died while imprisoned, and one died under torture.

The girls' true intentions and what may have triggered their symptoms are still shrouded in mystery.

『Qliphoth Rhizome』

Rank: EX

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Roots that Bear Shells of Light.

The roots of the evil tree called a Qliphoth open a gate that leads to a foreign world completely inimical to human life, placing incredible strain on the victim's psyche and physical form.

When Abigail, who acts as the key, designates a target, they are restrained. As such, it is an Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm.

As it is a phenomenon bound by no limits, it would normally be considered an Anti-World Noble Phantasm.

Witch Trials: A+

A fit of jealousy drawn out of an individual that unintentionally causes a chain of misfortune.

A threat that results from innocence.

Mass Hysteria: B

The madness that oozes out from the evil god that lives within the young girl easily destroys the frail human constructs of common sense and morality.

Faithful Prayer: C

The Puritan faith values hardship and daily prayer.

As a Puritan, Abigail was an innocent girl who loved God and never forgot to pray and give thanks for her blessings. She was just a sensitive girl of a tender age who never once thought to be suspicious of others.

The Puritans placed value on earthly hardships, and they crossed the Atlantic ocean to flee the oppression of the power hungry church, and ended up in the New World. However, others eventually caught up to and cornered them. Their "protest" was soon directed to their neighbors and those nearby.

In answer to what they saw as the moral decay of the world around them, the Puritans embraced the steadfast belief that one must restrain oneself, which became their way of monitoring one another. The difficult colonial life rife with war and pillaging soon created a mentality of suspicion and selfishness.

Hysteria gripped the people, and they sought to lay the blame at witches' feet. They began to believe that their misfortunate was the work of the devil himself.

The gates of the atrocious witch trials soon opened with the emergence of witches in Salem. This tumultuous situation became the keyhole while the girl became the key that reflected the sentiments of the people. If both sides are fundamentally necessary for the other to exist, which side is truly to blame?

The outer god, "All-in-One and One-in-All."

While it may have only been a fabrication of a brilliant man, it was still powerful enough to establish itself as a force of endless madness. Those...things may never have truly existed historically, but they could not abandon at least the potential to become observers from a distant abyss. And so, she was given the class of a visitor from the void: Foreigner.

The Demon God Pillar Räum, in an attempt to make the impossible possible, pursued the source of the man's idea, traced the historical incident that inspired the idea, and was ultimately led to a girl who was essential to this plan.

And so Abigail is a kind of priestess who serves the outer god, a vessel that enables it to manifest, and a key that opens up the gate to the abyss of falsity.
