Abúi was a Fairy who had access to interdimensional travel. She once ended up stranded in the universe of Loxie Smith and Zoot Jensen.

Description

Physical appearance

Abúi had long and extremely bright red hair. Her pale skin was covered in a complex web of blue tattoos. As a Fairy, Abúi's natural form was a miniature humanoid, about the size of a frisbee. However, she had the ability to grow to human size if she needed to interact with humans for a while, and was shown to be quite tall when in human form.

She was, on the other hand, unable to conceal other fairy traits of hers, including her large, pointy, horizontally-angled ears, her dragonfly-like wings, and her sharp teeth — except by crude physical means like binding her wings behind her back and wearing clothing over them. (COMIC: Incognito)

Personality

Abúi was fairly skilled at deception, but undercut by her temper; she was quick to get frustrated when experiencing unexpected difficulties in the course of a mission.

Biography

First visit to Koala Bay

At some point, Abúi was teleported out of her home dimension by the Gnomian Transporters. Landing in a more mundane universe near the Koala Bay Bares Naturist Resort, she was immediately hit by a frisbee which knocked her to the ground, damaging her equipment (including her Emergency Cabal Neutraliser and her Gnomometer as well as a crystal ball she could previously use to contact the Gnomian Transporter.

Realising that she was in a camp of humans, Abúi grew to human size and crudely hid her wings and pointy ears, attempting to pose as a new arrival called “Abby” while she found her bearings. However, one of the permanent residents, young Zinni Lee, had caught a glimpse of Abúi's true form shortly after her arrival, and dedicated herself to convincing her mother that she was indeed a Fairy.

She eventually succeeded. Abúi, forced to drop her disguise, went to meet the owners and operators of the Resort, Loxie Smith and Zoot Jensen. Having recently met Jenny Everywhere, Loxie and Zoot took the revelation surprisingly well, and decided to wait until Jenny came around, planning to ask her to help bring Abúi back home. In the meantime, Abúi agreed to stick around Koala Bay and try to get used to this new world and time. (COMIC: Incognito)

Return to Koala Bay

Long after she'd managed to come home, Abúi returned to Koala Bay Bares Naturist Resort on purpose with a gaggle of her faerie friends. Coincidentally, Jenny Everywhere had also returned to the Resort that very same day. This belied Jenny's claim that she liked Koala Bay for being “the most peaceful place in the universe”, but Loxie reflected that this didn't mean it wasn't the nicest place in the universe, occasional mayhem and all.

Behind the scenes

Origins

Abúi originated as a secondary character in Reinder Dijkhuis's webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan. Her part in its plot ended when she became stranded outside her own universe. The diptych formed by Incognito and Enchanted directly tied into these events. Abúi was subsequently spun off into her own webcomic, Abúi's Travels, focusing on Abúi's continuing journey through the Multiverse.
