## Throughout the Series

### Season 1

#### Episode 1

Felice waves to Wilhelm during the choir performance since they knew each beforehand from preschool.

In the stables, Felice is unable to control her horse Rousseau, so Sara calms him down and rides him. Once he was put back in his stall, Felice gets upset with Sara for taking care of the horse since she can do it herself.

Felice is caught touching herself while looking at pictures of Wilhelm by Madison, her roommate. She expresses her interest in Wilhelm because of his royal status.

At Wilhelm's party, Felice is seen vomiting, likely because she drank so much. Sara finds her and tells her she is pretty, and the two spend the rest of the night laughing and hanging out together.

#### Episode 2

Felice shows a clear interest in Wilhelm, and although he is polite, it is clear he has no intent of reciprocating. August, on the other hand, clearly wants Felice so that he can marry into another royal family. Sara, too, wants to be Felice's friend, looking upset when Felice doesn't say hello in class and reaching out to her later in the episode when they are in the stables.

Felice unwittingly tells August that Sara takes ADHD medication, after she kindly invites Sara and Simon to a movie night that Friday.

#### Episode 3

It's parents weekend at Hillerska, so Smysan and Poppe come to visit Felice. Smysan gifts Felice with a beautiful dress in case she is elected to become Lucia, and pressures her into admitting that she is getting some attention from Wilhelm. While her intentions and love for her daughter are clear, it's obvious that Felice wants nothing more than to please her parents.

At the luncheon, Felice's and her parents sit with Simon, Sara, and their mother, and are later joined by Wilhelm. When asked about the stables and riding Rousseau, Sara overshares, saying that Felice doesn't want to ride her horse and that she is the one who rides Rosseau more. Felice's parents look upset, and Felice excuses herself quickly, embarrassed. Wilhelm follows her out of the room and offers her words of assurance, saying that she is perfect. Felice misinterprets his kindness for love, and kisses him. He tries to explain to her that he isn't interested, and she becomes even more upset and leaves him.

Feeling rejected by her parents and Wilhelm, Felice goes to August's room, knowing that he is interested and settling for him because she feels unworthy.

#### Episode 4

Felice shows unwavering support toward Wilhelm after his brother's death, and while she continues her relationship with August, it is often strained by his insecurity and jealousy. While Felice is no longer interested in Wilhelm romantically, she continues to have a positive friendship with him, something that infuriates August because he feels Felice should be supporting him more than Wille. He continues to pursue Sara, whether because he wants her medication or dirt on Felice, is unclear.

#### Episode 5

Despite being in a relationship with Felice, August kisses Sara to try and charm her in the stables because Felice isn't there. At Felice's invitation, Sara stays at the Great House, and Felice gives her a beautiful dress, does her makeup, and makes her feel welcome. Sara confesses that August kissed her in the stables, and instead of getting upset, Felice decides to get back at August by breaking up with him and showing her love for Sara publicly on social media.

Felice is chosen to be Lucia, and while she feels honored, she also seems nervous and under pressure. When she tries to fit into Smysan's dress that she gifted her, it won't fit on her because she has a different body type. Instead, Madison gives her a dress she made and she wears that instead. Her mother arrives, insistent that Felice wears her dress, and Felice finally puts her foot down by saying that it won't fit, and she didn't even want to be Lucia. She asks her mother to leave, and instead has Sara wear the Lucia gown, taking a back seat in the procession to the horror of her mother.

#### Episode 6

Out of desire to try and keep Sara at their school and to help Wilhelm, who she fiercely defends after her friends joke out his sexuality, Felice watches the sex tape of Wilhelm and Simon over and over to see if she can figure out who made it. Eventually she notices something strange on the screen and quickly goes to Wille’s room to inform him of her discovery. She shows him broken pixels on the video that match broken pixels from August’s Instagram photos.

## Physical Appearance

Felice has dark brown skin, brown eyes, and black curly hair which she used to straighten every morning. In the second season, she embraces her natural beauty, and is seen more regularly with her curls. She also occasionally wears two gold hair clips in her hair, a style that Sara later copies.

## Personality

Felice has an obsession with having the perfect image and status, which has been ingrained in her by her parents' expectations. To the outside world, she wants to be seen as a perfect daughter, horse rider, and student. In reality, her beauty differs from her mother, she feels uncomfortable riding horses, and she desperately wants to be accepted just for her true self. She is generally friendly, social, and a dedicated friend, especially to Sara as the season continues.

## Relationships

### Romantic

#### August

August is shown to have had an open interest in Felice even before Wilhelm arrives, though it seems that part of his interest in her stems from her family wealth and popularity. After Felice is rejected by Wilhelm, she allows August to date her, likely due to wanting some acceptance after having several relationships fall apart so quickly. He gets easily jealous of Wilhelm when he sees the two interact and lashes out at her when he finds Wilhelm's coat that was lent to her in her room. He doesn't hesitate to kiss Sara, either as a ploy to make Felice jealous or possibly to convince Sara to sell him her medication, all while knowing about the close friendship between the two. When Sara confesses this to her, Felice dumps him and calls him an asshole, saying that she has a hard time being upset because she wasn't really in love with him and that their relationship wasn't what she thought it would be.

### Platonic

#### Prince Wilhelm

Felice and Wilhelm went to the same preschool together and met again at Hillerska. Felice has a crush on Wilhelm because of his royal status, but Wilhelm doesn't feel the same about her, rejecting her after she kissed him in episode 3. Even so, they agree to forget about it, and Wilhelm cares about Felice and comforts her when she is feeling down, despite not being interested in her romantically. He lends her a jacket in the cold, and she tells her friends to stop joking about his relationship after he was outed. She even spends the time to discover who posted the video, and shares it with him immediately. At the end of season 1, Felice is one of Wilhelm's only true friends, despite her initial attraction to him stemming from his status.

### Friends

#### Sara

Felice and Sara have a strained friendship at first. envying her ability to handle Rousseau and the joy she gets from doing so as her mother has placed a lot of pressure on her to become a skilled equestrian despite her disinterest and lack of skill. When Sara reveals this in front of her mother, Felice is upset and angered by Sara, who she had befriended after Sara had helped her with the horse and when she was drunk at the initiation party, betraying her trust. She eventually forgives Sara and they quickly become extremely close again, Felice even giving her role as Saint Lucia to Sara as she didn't want the role and knew that Sara did.

#### Madison

Madison is Felice's roommate and is one of Felice's best friends from the start. They are shown to trust each other and be extremely close as they talk intimately about romance, wax Felice's legs together, mention the idea of Felice visiting Madison in New York, etc.
