Abigail "Misty" Briarton

"If you really need a reason why we do this, I'll give you one. We do this because doing something - anything - is better than doing nothing."

- Abigail "Misty" Briarton

Abigail "Misty" Briarton is a playable character in Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies mode.

Appearance
Misty wears a tied-up plaid red shirt and brown worker gloves on her hands. She also wears faded blue jeans with some tears along the legs. Misty wears a belt with magazine pouches on it. She is a brunette and wears her hair in a short ponytail down the back. She wears a white and green cap on her head, she has a few cuts on her stomach. She has freckles on her face, upper body, and arms.

Background
Not much is known about Misty's past, other than she used to live on a farm. Her mother died of unknown causes, while her father was killed by zombies. At some point, she met Marlton Johnson, whom she began to develop a crush on. The two fought against zombies in a town in Hanford, until they were picked up by Russman and Samuel J. Stuhlinger in a bus. The four survivors were then contacted by Dr. Ludvig Maxis, and were instructed to activate the Pylon, as part of his plan to deal with Edward Richtofen's forces of the undead. However, Stuhlinger started to hear Richtofen's voice in his head, telling him to activate the Pylon with his own methods for unknown purposes.

After the Pylon was activated, the group was teleported by Richtofen to a skyscraper in Shanghai, China. After witnessing Russman being killed by a Jumping Jack, Misty, Marlton and Stuhlinger continued to defend themselves until they were killed as well. However, Richtofen would then rewind the events, so that the group could carry out his tasks. Here, Maxis and Richtofen continued to give the four survivors instructions to activate another tower.

After the task was done, the group traveled on foot towards Africa. They set up camp in the desert, planning what to do next. The day after, the survivors proceeded to "the rift", and ended up in an underground Western town.

Personality
Misty is brash and self-satisfied, thinking of herself very highly. She despises Samuel, who returns this sentiment, but she seems to like Marlton. She has bad memories associated with her past and tries to suppress any thoughts about them, keeping herself occupied by killing zombies.

Trivia

 * She has a crush on Marlton, who reciprocates that feeling.
