Just how sentient is Abigail exactly?

[WenericMember]

I was looking over character dialogue I noticed this specific line from Wendy;

"Don't laugh at me Abigail! Its not funny!"

I was always under the impression that Abigail wasn't able to express any emotion whatsoever, with most of Wendy's dialogue directly talking to Abigail being completely rhetorical, but the way its phrased seems to contradict that.

So to what extent is Abigail's spirit generally considered to be "there"? Is she just as aware as the other survivors, but constrained in expression by a lack of physical form? or is she only acting based on impulse, like the other ghosts in the game?

I think that it's just game limitation, Abigail unlike other ghost in the game, die before she enter the constant, and in Wendy animation, we can see her ghost in the real world look sad, so I think she is more sentient than other ghost, but still power by emotion more than non-ghost.

I mean that doesn't really answer my question.

Yes Abigail is capable of emotion, hence her calm and riled up states, but is she simply scared because she's injured like a wild animal, or is she fully aware?

She's a ghost, that was sort of the premise of the question. I was originally kind of working on the assumption that Abigail's personality wasn't intact as a ghost, which the original quote contradicts.

It was mostly just a vibe thing, hence why I asked the question. :P

I think there's no reason to believe becoming a supernatural bedsheet turns you feral. The ghost enemies are just pissed for some reason, possibly jealous that you aren't a bedsheet.

Also, it's kind of messed up for Wendy to command her barely sentient feral sister around like a dog. Abigail is a human. Her sister. So just based on that alone I'd say she isn't feral, that doesn't seem like something Klei would do.

Can't really argue with that. I think my perspective was mostly based on some of the older dialogue from back when Abigail needed a blood sacrifice to be summoned, which was something along the lines of "I need to show Abigail how to play"

Abigail is straight dumb. I say it as Wendy main.
