Character Desires & Motivation


In the second episode, Abbie says something along the lines that she is so far down the rabbit hole and just wants to go back to the way things were. Ichabod then tells her how the two must travel the journey together in order to put an end to everything. As Abbie and Ichabod face more supernatural events and creatures, they are on a constant quest to learn how to defeat the evils that have come alive within Sleepy Hollow. Below are some possible ideas for character desires and motivations; please note this is clearly not an exhaustive or detailed list.

Abbie Mills
Sleepy Hollow's Abbie & Jenny Mills
  • To find a reasonable explanation for all of the events going on, even though she’s started to accept things as is
  • To make things right between her and her sister, Jenny, and make up for things said and not said in the past
  • To find closure with the death of her partner and mentor, Sheriff August Corbin, and find out what he knew

Jenny Mills
  • Although not at first, I think she too wants to rebuild a relationship with her sister
  • Being that she was the one to be put in a psych ward, it’s probable that Jenny wants to clear her name and change what people think about her

Ichabod Crane & wife, Katrina

Ichabod Crane
  • Always a gentleman, Ichabod wants to help Abbie and Jenny repair their relationship
  • Knowing that Katrina is stuck in “the world between worlds” he wants to free his wife from there and reunite with her
  • A true believer that he has been sent to destroy the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he is determined to do just that







Captain Frank Irving

Captain Frank Irving
  • As police captain, he obviously wants to get to the bottom of everything going and find rationale to it all
  • To figure out who exactly Ichabod Crane is, and from what era
  • I can’t help but get the feeling that he does know something that hasn’t been revealed to the viewers yet. Am I alone on this?
