is Abilene a complex character ?

Abilene feels abandoned by her father, having previously been raised by him and believed herself to be close knit with him. She desperately wants him to come back but in order for him to do so she needs to let him know somehow that she understands why he ran away and that she forgives him for doing so. The importance of family is also demonstrated by Jinx's returning to Manifest to see her when he believes her to be sick, despite the fact his is obviously traumatized by his time in the town. He puts her needs above his own when push comes to shove which stresses the importance of family.

YES. My teacher when I was in high school she made us re-read the book to find all of her characteristics of Abilene. We had to make 12 pages with 21 boxes on EACH about Abilene!
