-History- Birth Date: January 2nd, 1980 Birth Place: Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Family: She has a 16-year-old daughter named Jacqueline (‘Jackie’ or ‘Jack’) and a 33-year-old sister named Joanna. Her father, Hank, and her mother, Sarah, have both died within the last five years.
Brief History: Gabby had a rather ordinary childhood, but as soon as she hit her teens she fell into the wrong crowd, all of the illegal things that she could possibly do - she did. When she was sixteen she almost died of alcohol poisoning and was quick to change her ways, soon dropping the friends that she’d made (essentially becoming a social leper in the process) and taking a job at her mother’s diner, even going so far as to improve her grades.
She became a well-centered and genuinely happy person, in no small part due to the magical abilities that she discovered that she had. When the time came, she went to college, but it didn’t hold the appeal to her that it once did. Most kids were more interested in drinking and sex than anything and since she was past that; she avoided those things like the plague. Of course, that didn’t stop her from falling for a drama major - hard. They dated for a good six months until she discovered that she was pregnant. He split as soon as he heard and she made her way back to Beaconsfield.
While she had a lot of options, she decided to keep the baby, Jacqueline, who was born not long after Gabby’s 20th birthday. Over the years, she took businesses classes, art classes and a number of other things (and regrettably has had the occasional slip with her alcohol addiction). And while she had a somewhat scandalous youth, she is now a pillar of the community. She attends town meetings, goes to parent teacher interviews and her blueberry pie recipe is well sought after!
Other info: Gabby and her sister, Joanna, inherited their parents home and business. Gabby bought out Joanna’s share of the house so she and her daughter could move in, but they both still co-own the diner. To this day she still battles with her alcohol addiction and is currently six (almost seven) years sober.
Note: Gabby’s sister Jo is open for adoption, her preferred PB is Julia Stiles. Gabby's daughter, Jackie, is also up for adoption, her preferred PB is Jordan Hinson.
