She wears pigtailed dyed hair, and at least nine タトゥー on her neck, arms, back, ankle and other places. While some of the タトゥー are Perrette's, and real, others, such as the large クロス on her back, are makeup applied for the occasions when Perrette shows her bare back on camera.[1] The クモ, スパイダー web on her neck is not real either, as producer Donald Bellisario wanted the character to have a tattoo that would be visible (almost) all the time.[1]

Abby is a hearing child born to deaf parents,[2] and likes her 音楽 loud. Like Gibbs, Abby enjoys caffeine, in the form of a fictional drink called "Caf-Pow," a coffee based beverage. When changing the artwork in her lab, she states that she has a "Chagall feeling", a reference to Marc Chagall, a Jewish Belo-Russian artist whose main works came from ファンタジー and dreams. Her お気に入り term for something out of ordinary is "hinky". It is also shown that she enjoys attending concerts, such as the Plastic Death コンサート which resulted in her having trouble hearing and having to ask DiNozzo to help her ID some audio evidence[3].

[4], Abby graduated with full honors from LSU with a triple major in sociology, criminology and psychology. She earned her master's degree from Georgia State 大学 in criminology and forensic science.

Background
Pauley Perrette started studying for a Master's Degree in Criminology before going into the entertainment industry,[7] and has toured the real NCIS 〜ネイビー犯罪捜査班 offices to meet with the real forensic specialists.[8].

Abby is well-versed in her field of study; she is rarely stumped によって the puzzles which Gibbs' team present to her. She does all the work on the evidence herself. In season 3, when she is 与えられた an "assistant", Charles "Chip" Sterling, she revolts, but puts up with him. He turns out to be homicidal, and as a result, Abby is freed of him.

It has been shown that she has a younger brother[9].


[edit] Relationships
Abby gets on well with all the rest of the team, particularly McGee and Tony, and is fond of Ducky who uses her full name, Abigail.

Like Ducky, she shows no fear of Gibbs. The kisses on the cheek and hugs they share are present in many episodes, and Gibbs brings her her お気に入り beverage, Caf-Pow, on many occasions. Gibbs also shows a tolerance for her idiosyncracies, and a protectiveness over Abby. Abby is the daughter of deaf parents, and occasionally communicates with Gibbs using sign language.

Abby was a close friend of former team mate Caitlin Todd (Kate), hanging out after work and even talking Kate into getting a tattoo. Abby was cold towards Ziva at first, as Ziva was linked with Ari, who killed Kate. Abby eventually came around and they are now friends.

She had a relationship with McGee which she stated that she would like to keep casual. Although the relationship ended late in season one, she has since exhibited jealousy over both the attention that McGee gives to and receives from other women.
