| “ | Look at you. Best operative on the planet. And to think I had to convince you not to quit this morning. (Numbuh 1: If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in the Kids Next Door in the first place.) Oh, please. They would've found you eventually. I mean, these guys did. Look, are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to go? (Numbuh 1: You know I can't pass this up, Abby. You're only a kid once, right? So this means you're in charge of Sector V again.) No, no, no, no... Nu-uh-uh-uh! (Numbuh 1: I'm not giving you a choice this time. Who else is gonna take care of the guys?) But... (Numbuh 1: Abby, we both know you're the only one on this team with any real common sense. While I'm screaming that we're being invaded by tiny kid-eating leeches falling from the sky, you're the one telling me it's only snowing. You're a way better leader than I ever was. So lead the Sector V.) But it won't be Sector V without you. (Numbuh 1: It was before, and it will be after.) | „ |

Abigail Lincoln a.k.a. Numbuh 5 is one of the four deuteragonists of the 2002 animated series, Codename: Kids Next Door. She is an African American Kids Next Door Operative in Sector V. She became a KND operative three years before the show started as shown in Operation: M.A.U.R.I.C.E. She was trained by her older sister, Cree (Numbuh 11), and joined her sister, Numbuhs 8a and 8b, and Numbuh 9 in Sector V.
After Cree traitorously left the KND, Numbuh 5 became the leader of Sector V, until she allowed Numbuh 1 to take over after she found and hacked his grades for his KND Entrance Exam. She is the oldest member of Sector V.
She is voiced by Cree Summer also voices Kim, Cree Lincoln, Penelope, Susie Carmichael.
Appearance
Abigail Lincoln is a braided long haired African American/French member of the KND. She is almost always seen wearing a blue and white shirt, a red cap, and golden hoop earrings, matched with white sneakers. Her origin is unknown, but she is shown as the second most skilled hand to hand combatant in Sector V, and also Second in Command.
Personality
Abigail "Abby" (Gilligan) Lincoln a.k.a. Numbuh 5 is the intelligent, relaxed girl second-in-command/spy in Sector V. She became a KND operative three years before the show started as shown in Operation: M.A.U.R.I.C.E.. She was trained by her older sister, Cree (who was Numbuh 11 at the time), and joined her sister, Numbuhs 8a and 8b, and Numbuh 9 in Sector V. After Cree betrayed and was defected from the KND, Numbuh 5 became the leader of Sector V, until she allowed Numbuh 1 to take over after she found and hacked his grades for his KND Entrance Exam. She is the oldest member of Sector V. Numbuh 5 later became Supreme Leader after Numbuh 362 retired.
Likewise, Numbuh 5 is more rational, as demonstrated in Operation: O.U.T.B.R.E.A.K., where she did not jump to the conclusion that Numbuh 4 had cooties. She knew he was having an allergic reaction, and she does not think cooties are real. Whilst arguably not as skilled a fighter as Numbuh's 1 and 4, Numbuh 5 is still a fearsome opponent, she is also far savvier in combat than the latter, often using a great level of ingenuity to defeat her opponents.
