Abby Reichman is the third of four children born to Augustus and Frederika Reichman. She was bossed mercilessly by her elder siblings Katrina and Rudy and, in turn, made life difficult for her younger sister Delia. As with all the children, the parents denied Abby attention and affection and instead spent lavishly on her, letting extravagant gifts replace proper parenting.
As a result, Abby was a petulant, rebellious child who resented her parents. As a pre-teen she was caught abusing alcohol several times. At the age of 14, she felt the superflu and social collapse happened purely to annoy her and she enjoyed flirting outrageously with the young men living in the close confines of the Rock. Even as the MPD expanded and the Reichman family's power grew, Abby refused to curb her partying ways and kept several lovers at any one time. Though the family sneers at the low-class company she keeps, they have long given up on reforming her even as she nears her 40th birthday.
Beneath her party girl facade lies a deeply depressed woman who buries her fears and anxieties under a mountain of alcohol and drugs. She will happily go along with anyone who she feels will show her a good time and keep her from thinking about the sordid politics and bleak reality of their existence.
Abby has no long-term goal beyond keeping the party going. Though she would not admit to being suicidal, she has takes enormous risks with her health and well-being. This includes wandering through the Grudow District in the late night hours intoxicated or under the influence of rundown, a street drug she has experimented with in increasing amounts.
Abby splits her time lounging at Mansion Inn and trolling Summerland looking for a good time. She has no qualms requesting an armed escort between the two locations when the mood strikes her.
Abby is blunt and forceful but, as long as people comply with her wishes to loosen up and party, she can also be fun to be around. She suffers from terrible hangovers and can spend days in bed recovering from harsh nights. Her sharp tongue is almost as legendary as her appetite for partying and when not getting drunk or high, can often be found brooding in solitude, waiting to lash out at anyone who disturbs her.
