Regrowth AU: Abigail can't reach the feathers on her back around the wings, or the ones on the parts of her wings closest to her back. She has to get help preening. Also she needs to wear a top with a largish gap in the back for her wings, and to prevent clothing feathers (like hat hair except with feathers). This annoys her. It annoys her so much. But if she doesn't get help preening it itches and her oil glands (base of the wing) leak.
That’s why she absolutely adores her team. They take turns helping her preen, getting her wings ready each time they’re going to go out planting because she needs to be their eye in the sky. That’s why her team is so good, Abigail can find the best planting spots from the air and then pass that info on to the rest of her team.
Her team also helps her with clothes. Over time they figured the easiest way to dress her was halter tops that tie at the neck, or just using a long piece of fabric and wrapping it around in various configurations. Botfight lady was the one who came up with that design, and it’s so simple and versatile that Abigail rarely wears regular shirts anymore. Her dad’s less thrilled, of course, because he thinks the tops are too revealing for his baby girl, but she just scoffs and ignores him. He can whine when he has giant feathered wings sticking out of his back!
