Abigail Thornwood is the antagonist from the novel Mystic Knoll. Having been the laughing stock of the town since childhood, Abigail grew up to become a vengeful, hateful, and sociopathic person. She began practicing magic and used it on those who had wronged her in some ways. To exact true revenge on her enemies, she mothered a child with Lucas Barnes, the star quarterback of the local school, and cursed it to become an instrument for her goal.
History[]
Early Life[]
The townsfolk often ridiculed her because of her birthmark that covered her right eye and cheek, and because of her father's cruel exterior. Having inherited her father's cruel nature, Abigail grew up to become a vengeful and angry person. According to Ida, she was born without the ability to care for others and could not understand why someone would care for someone else. She started practicing magic by tapping into the power at Mystic Knoll to get back at those who did her wrong: such as making someone rot their teeth or giving someone bad breath. To a father who never acknowledged her existence, she cast a spell to make Joshua hang himself.
At eighteen, she spelled the star quarterback to be her date to prom and conceived a child with him. She opted to use her baby as an instrument for her ultimate revenge. Abigail cursed her daughter at a mystical place called "Mystic Knoll". As she was only a practitioner, she had to rely on external magical sources to fuel her spells. Not wanting to be discovered by the higher powers, she cast the curse on the day of the solar eclipse, which was one month before Harriet's birth. Abigael died giving birth to her daughter, with only her mother present.
Revenge[]
The day for her revenge twenty years later. Harriet transformed into a chimeran monster and flew all over town looking for Abigail's targets. The Charmed Ones lured Harriet to them by gathering as many targets as they could find, finally luring her back to Mystic Knoll, where they managed to weaken the spell on Harriet. An enraged Abigail then took over Harriet's body, but the Charmed Ones prevailed in the end.
