I’m just a misunderstood teenage girl that no one cares about.
Bio
Heyy, my name is Abigail, but you can call me Abbi. I’m 17 and want to live my life the best way I can:
**free and in charge**
Most people don’t get me…and why would they? They call me a liar, a sinner, impure, and whatever else you can think of.
But guess what?? I’m complicated. I’m a mess. And yes, I’m an orphan. Whatever…if that makes me a bad person, fine.
I feel like sometimes people take advantage of me…
&& sometimes, I want to take advantage of them.
Need help…
…casting pesky sinners from your life? Look no further!
Witches and devils? In my town?

Bio
I am a local farmer in Salem. I do my best to follow the pillars of Puritanism and keep my good name clean in the eyes of the Lord. I can not tolerate hypocrites. I volunteer in the community regularly, and tend to participate in local affairs. I love my wife, as she is the strongest person I know. Daily life is a constant struggle, and I try to find a balance between my secret and public lives.
Life is short!
Have an affair!
McCarthyism…
