Abigail Faust

Abigail Faust is the seventh character introduced in The Human Game. She is one of the players.

Appearance
Abigail is the smallest of all players, barely above the other player's hip height. She wears a blue dress and has long, brown curly hair. She has dark skin.

Personality
A blind 11-year old girl who is also the youngest spirit medium ever. Small though she may be, but she (mainly because she has to) always tags along with the bigger players in their games and adventures they are forced to play.

Role in the story
Abigail was one of the two characters who were not present in the first main meeting. She was discovered by Connor Cavanagh, Seth Turner Sato and Thalia Parik right after they split up. They quickly took her with them, as they were all convinced bringing a little, blind girl to such a place is insane.

When arrived at the second main meeting, Joe Verger revealed the true identity of Abigail as the youngest spirit medium ever, which had mixed reactions before Cancel spoke up.

Abigail possesses the ability to observe people's voices, and she describes everyone's voices in a different manner - Seth's voice, for example, has kind of a stinging bite, while Kate's is full of energy, etc. Due to the strange voice of Cancel, she knows he is a nightmare.

Later, when Seth gets nullified and the group flees, Abigail tries to convince the others she still hears him 'in there', however, she isn't believed as Connor scoops her up in his arms and runs away.

When tasked with finding medaillons in the library, she says 'they'll be doing a lot of reading in the library' and that 'she is really looking forward to it'. This shows her deadpan side as well.

She once again plays a very important role as she volunteers to be a truth-bearer. Cancel takes her along and tells her several things, which she decides not to reveal to the others.

Joe Verger
She likes Joe's poetic voice, and in turn, he is the only one who believes in her ability to talk to the dead, because she was together with him in the Nancy Claire Show. The two are generally on good terms with eachother.

Seth Turner Sato
Unlike the other players, Abigail believes there is something good in Seth, although he acts like a jerk. Even when he is nullified, she picks up a last signal of a living Seth, and she was the last one he had a memory of before he fell into full despair.

Cancel
Being a little girl, Abigail has trouble understanding a lot of Cancel's motifs, yet tries to stand strong through the latter's bullying, and often searches a good response to throw back. This has differing results.
