I'm introducing this game to a new player tomorrow who is interested in becoming a regular player. I want to make this experience as enjoyable as possible for her and since her favorite show is Grey's Anatomy I'm creating a Dr. Meredith Grey character for her to play. I've used the Phyician ability from Dr. Lee already and I want to give her one more ability that would have something to do with the ally I'm giving her. Are there any abilities that have anything to do with allies or anything neat or beneficial ability that you can think of that would sort of touch on the fact that in the game I'm going to have the Richard Upton Pickman ally be her boyfriend. Also any suggestions on items would be helpful. Also, we only have the base game.

Off the top of my head, there's Minh Thi Phan's ability:
"Synergy - Any Phase: Minh gains a +1 bonus to all skill checks while she has an Ally, or while another investigator is in the same location as her."
Team Player - Upkeep: Minh may choose one other investigator in her location. He gains a +1 bonus to all skill checks he makes until the end of the turn."
Are you renaming her ally, "McDreamy"? 
edit: forgot to add the second part of Minh's ability.

That's what I'm calling the ability.
 If anyone else has any ideas on something that would fit feel free to post.

Just as an update, event though we lost last night's game, when my friend arrived and saw a Meredith Grey character waiting for her she was extremely excited and got really into the game. So much so that she wants to play a game next week and asked if I could create an Amelia Earhart character for her to play. I've started creating one for her because quite frankly she got so into the game and her character that it was almost inspirational and I want a player like that to keep coming back for more. So if you folks could possibly see yourselves to maybe helping me again in creating another Amelia Earhart character (especially with respect to Abilities and items) it would really be appreciated.

For Amelia, what about something along the lines of being able to travel to an other world from anywher e on the board to reflect her disappearing ability? Would be nice to be able to get through a gate that was stacked with some tough monsters and not have to worry about sneaking or fighting.

Thanks again for all the help guys. I wanted to post my finished Amelia Earhart and I can't wait to see what my friend thinks of it.

It's all about the theme!

I like her ability a lot. I'd call it more like "Up, Up and Away" however.
Many of the gates are really locations on earth and so instead of using an interdimensional gate, she simply jumps in her plane and goes there. (Doesn't make sense for Yuggoth, but then what does.)
Not sure why her Lore is 5. She's not really a wizard.I'd think a Luck of 5 would be more appropriate even though her luck apparently ran out at one point.
Dynamite? Holy Water?
Aviation Pioneer? Essentially Blessed in Arkham?

Well I actually struggled with the proper balance between luck & lore but in the end I drew the balance in favor of lore on the theory that in the end she wasn't so lucky and that with her mysterious disappearance ability she would eventually come back from the other world with some mystical knowledge and I wanted that to give her an advantage with closing gates. Plus, Amelia was just bada$$ in real life and I wanted to focus on her national celebrity because I made that relevant to her story. Thanks for the comment though.

Well since you guys were so helpful with my last 2 custom investigators I figured I'd come back and get some advice for this one. I am making a William "the Butcher" Cutting investigator from Gangs of New York. The only thing I am missing are some good original abilities that accentuate his character from Gangs of New York and I was hoping for some suggestions. The thing I'd like to focus on is his position as a ward boss and party leader so if you could make the adilities forcus on that it would be great.
