Abby Bacredi, First Lady.

First Lady Abigail Bacredi (born Abigail Metcaff) is the First Lady of St. Faol, Lianna, and the husband of mayor James Bacredi—a Conservative. Abby Metcaff was born to the Earl of Northcalf and Snowbowl in the Royal Rotunda of the Royal Lianna Palace. She grew up amongst royalty, and her father had meetings with the Prince of Esh-Thiel Tan every week to discuss the position of Earl and what the people that he serves (or, in a better explanation, serve him). Metcaff went to the Royal School of the Arts, where she aspired to become a painter and an artist. Her dreams were smashed, however, when her brother moved off the planet to escape prosecution for tax evasion—something a royal title couldn't even stop. She had to watch after the family name and one day let her, or if she was ever married, her husband become Earl of Northcalf and Snowbowl. This buckled a huge amount of pressure under Metcaff, as her previously luxurious and stress-free life had been turned upside down, and now she was moving up and down, worrying about her image and the family's image.

Abby met James Bacredi at a local Conservative Party fundraiser held by her father and the Earl of Westfold Pierton. She described seeing James as "Love at first site—we both kinda clicked, and while he was looking after his little brother [Zhar Bacredi], he was also being extremely kind to me and we ended up seeing each other constantly after that." She ended up marrying James Bacredi and moving to the resort town of St. Faol. James Bacredi was elected councilor under the allied banner of the Conservative Party, which he chose last minute after originally running with the National Congress Party (a farther right-wing party than the Conservative Party). Abby Bacredi—she had just changed her name—convinced her father and her father's friends to donate enough funds to James campaign so he would be able to be easily elected. He was soon elected councilor, and then after failing at a run for mayor, he was elected councilor again. He was elected mayor two years later.
