I am still trying to work out the kinks and story holes but here is the work in progress

Above is her only hit album cover

Name: Abigail Cynthia Winterborn

Gender: Female

Age: 22 / October 31st

Nationality: British / Manx from the Isle of Man Her Passport

Appearance: Abby has to wear clothing more suitable for a girl half her age or have them special made which often gives her the appearance of a lollie.
She is very petite weighing only 6 stone (#85) with eyes so blue many believe they are contacts. Her hair drops to below her shoulder blades and is a silky Honey blonde with red highlights at her temples and even her figure is less that of a woman’s and more of a young girl and qualifies her as a Little Person but of equal body proportions.  

Height: 1.39 (4’7”)

Personality: Abby is outgoing and has a zest for life along with boundless amounts of energy. She sleeps in catnaps and is able to sleep in places and situations that most would find Impossible. She was once found sleeping in a partly closed upright Bass’s hard case at a studio.

She loves to eat and follows her nose to any foods being cooked near herself and will always try a bit no matter how much her friends are off put by her consumption of said questionable food. She is rarely ever sick and considering her lifestyle a source of amazement.

A wicked sense of humor she will play to her situation especially if the person she having fun with has mistaken her for a little girl because she feels she must. Add to that a poison tongue which can fire off quips with the best and is supported by an active imagination and people either learn to love or hate her with few remaining in the undecided.

Role: Leadsinger/Composer

Specified Job Details: Abby can play the piano at a professional level and is also a Drummer.

She is trained singer of Opera who is a Mezzosopraano she has a power that is unnatural and brassy but her diminutive size prevents her from joining any companies of any worth so she turned her powerful voice to rock music and eventually fell in love with Metal.

Her talent as a Composer okay but not prolific and used more to arrange Cover songs for her own style

Relative Experience: Classically trained in Opera by Helga Lier former Diva of the London Company and her grandmother from 9 to 18 years old.

Mentored in musical studies by Ian Slice of Bomber Bob in piano, drums, and writing.

Her first album was “Star Child” and while a bit dated in its style is a coveted trophy among her small group of fans and was released on her 17th birthday.

Recruited as backup lead vocalist for a studio created band called “Concrete Kittens” she was quickly pushed forward into the lead before their first public performance.

Performed at the Isle of Wight Music Festival as a warmup band and made a 30 minute encore at the crowds demand.

Released the Indie Album “The Mouse That Roared” at age 20 sold 1.2 million copies as lead of Concrete Kittens then left the band before the expected release of “Pretty Ponies”  due to creative difficulty (This was blamed on her as being a difficult talent and resulted in her being Blacklisted)

Biography: Abby’s mom is a woman more concerned with public appearence and moving in the right circles and an unexpected child was against her plans in life so she shoveled her off on her mom to raise. 

Abby’s grandmother was a retired London opera Diva who lived on the Isle of Man and while demanding was also a loving and supportive woman. She raised Abby to believe she could be anything she wanted and was pleased when her granddaughter began singing scales with her students and often outshining them in power, control, and endurance when she was only 9 years old. 

So taking her on as a student her grandmother became two different women; one a loving and doting granny and the other a demanding voice coach who resembled a camp guard or drill instructor. Then at age 15 when her grandmother thought she was ready they made the trip to London where using her connections she got Abby an audition.  The board was impressed with her range but said she was too short and could only be used a a chorus singer playing the part of children which would mean she’d have very little work. 

Dejected Abby returned to the Isle of Man vowing she’d never sing again; a vow which her grandmother wouldn’t stand for and made her continue for a pointless dream.

Then as Abby explains she was wandering the Island during the Tourist Trophy when she met the drummer of the band Bomber Bob who were big in the 60s and 70s but now largely forgotten and his two twin daughter Mandy and Sandy age 7 and hit it off. He was at that point a single parent trying to run a small recording company and watch after the two girls and was overjoyed when he found Abby would help by acting as their babysitter, tutor, and friend.

He taught her how to play piano and drums when she showed an interest in them and even tried himself to get her auditions with other recording companies who rejected her because at they said she was little more than a novelty act. Her grandmother at first disapproved of her classical training being used to sing such rock standards as “Itching for You” and “Blue Angel” but when she met Ian and saw he was trying to get Abby work and inspiring her to keep singing she joined forces with the man.

Ian’s little record label recorded her Album written by both Abby and Ian called “Star Child” and it enjoyed a bit of success when it was found in the bargain bins of the Liverpool shops and became an underground staple. Rough and still needing polish it still displayed a power hidden in her small body few could believe actually came from her when they saw her live or in person. 

Abby was working harder than ever at that time till on her 18th birthday her Grandmother, Ian and even Mandy and Sandy were victims of the Ferry disaster which left her alone in the world for the first time in her life and resulted in a deep depression that made her disappear for a year as she worked through her problems. 

Then one day out of the blue Abby showed up in a London studio that was trying to create a Girl band and needed a backup vocalist 

 Abby’s band was a surprise at the Isle of Wight Music Festival when she popped out on stage with the Band she was working with at the Time know as “Concrete Kittens” and seemed to explode vocally her voice more powerful than her size might be expected to reach.

Then a month later Abby and the Concrete Kittens released the Indie Album titled “The Mouse That Roared” which made them instant Stars in England’s Metal scene but soon their success caused friction when the band’s founder and the manager tried to take advantage of Abby’s Size and made her do a Lollitta Song called “Pretty Ponies” which set her up as a bad little girl complete with one of those huge lollipops and a babydoll skirt. 

She hated the song and thought it would make her fan base shift to the creepy pedos that had already begun to plague her and the arguments began and eventually came to a showdown which resulted in Abby’s quitting the Band.

Out of work and black balled at home she came to the city hoping to at least get work as a session singer and try to get control of her career.

"A Hint of Abby's Style"

I've known a lot of people who've hated their High School teacher well into their 20s and 30s for some punishment they meted out which that person thought unfair; their Parents because they kicked them out for being gay or living a lifestyle of which they disapproved. They walk by here they come in here and even drink my coffee every day and they hold onto those slights for years, some even die holding on to it.

Its all a waste of time. "What was, was, what is, is important because its where we can alter the path we will take in the now"

I'm too lazy to waste my time hating someone or everyone around me because my life sucked or sucks. I will confront those who confront me because it is at that time important to me but as soon as the wheels of time move on and the threat moved on with it I return to better and happier things. said Mandy with a sigh looking at her friend Amy

Then she lights a cigarette and leans back as she selects some relaxing music
