Abby Is a Final Girl

On the surface, Abby doesn't seem like a Final Girl. Not only is she eight years old (one of the youngest FGs!), she's more interested in drawing her pictures than anything else. She also isn't the only one to survive by the end of the film, and in some ways, she's not the main protagonist of the story. But there are so many reasons why she does embody a Final Girl: she has fear, but still fights back. She overcomes everything stacked against her, like losing her parents, dodging a wicked aunt who wants to take her away from her brother, said brother who loves her but is emotionally absent, a child killer on the loose... oh, and haunted animatronics. Abby definitely belongs in the FG conversation.
