Felicity Vireo

## Description

Felicity has medium brown skin, green eyes, and curly dark brown-black hair. Her build is lighter and lankier like that of her cousin and she has an affinity for colored lipstick when she chooses to use it. With her hybrid form, she gains the reddish tail of a red-tailed-hawk and grows some sparse feathers on her neck and part of her limbs. She also has the wings of a hawk too and can somewhat fly.

For dress, she tends to be a bit simplistic but still formal in most situations. Her favorite colors include orange and a deep purple-pink that she often incorporates when she can. She makes a habit of dressing up for her math calculations, having the idea that numbers can sense the sophistication of a person and she aims to please. She does, however dress down around people she knows fondly, her and Fletcher doing this the most around each other.

## Personality

Felicity is someone most confused about her wants with her life. Having dedicated so much to someone out of the sense of duty and because she hated being alone, it backfired on her as she forced herself to have no ambitions for herself. That realization hit her hard and was debilitating at first, her sense of purpose lost and challenged when Gagan came by her cousin. It made it harder to accept him because of it and because he represented how lost she was in her sense of herself. She had to make peace to work past it and find her own path.

Felicity is someone who is reserved like Fletcher but always feels the pressure and it's always getting to her one way or another. She wasn't a genius like him and worked for everything in order to reach his level and not lose him. Thus, she saw her work as lesser than his. Felicity, like her cousin, maintains the same compassion, being willing to help teach people about the joys of math she found comfort in all that time ago. She has little problem standing up for what she believes, believing people were given a voice for a reason and she'd regret saying nothing.

## Story

#### Pre-Rp

Before the Rp and for whatever reason, Felicity ended up in Fletcher's parents' care instead of her own, raised by them since the age of 5. She quickly bonded with Fletcher and became inseparable, and despite the fact she was the older sibling, she found herself trying to emulate him. She was unwilling to let go of this new bond after losing her previous family and fearing that her parents and family would leave against which drove her decisions when at age 12-13, Fletcher began studying in the medical field for science and microbiology. Felicity forced herself to reach his level out of the fear of loneliness, falling in love with math along the way. She found herself studying in the same school and though she hated the pressure on her and people only being seen as accomplishments, she had math and she had Fletcher. It was good enough. However, her world shattered as her uncle came down with an unexplained sickness and due to the severity, Fletcher freaked out and ran away. She chased after him and wouldn't let him leave her. Together they ended up at Milgram with their degrees, Fletcher determined to make a cure. She was determined to not be lonely.

#### The Rp

Felicity was spliced with a bird like Fletcher and in her room, she hauled in a blackboard, wanting to calm down from the situation by doing some math. She managed to do so, and upon finding out Fletcher was working on a cure, she offered to help. She spent most of her days working out calculations for him and asking him to check her work due to her self-worth issues. Later, she became worried for Fletcher and even jealous, upon learning about Gagan, someone who reminded her of her own indecision with her life. That and the fact that she could face loneliness again too. She quietly resented Gagan for this reason only to get better in both realities as Gagan saved Fletcher. In the time-travel timeline, she helped him out, warming up to the man and even respecting him. In the alternative, current timeline, she knew that he'd saved him and prevented Kiemo from killing him. She reluctantly accepted him and when Gagan was kidnapped, she went on to comfort her cousin, helping coach him through it.

She also began to figure out what she wanted for herself during this time and that she could be separate from Fletcher and not have to worry about loneliness. She came to trust Callisto and was impressed by her eagerness to learn and commitment. It warmed Felicity's heart and she'd make tea for them as they'd go over math lessons, Callisto's observation skills sometimes reaching above Felicity's own. Or making her notice things from other angles. Felicity slowly began to fall in love with her too and furthering the idea she wouldn't be alone. When she met with Fletcher later, she was told of a note he wanted to give Gagan, but had chickened out of it. She told him not to waste it and throw it away because it wasn't stupid and she said she'd hold onto it and if she saw Gagan, she'd be the one to give it to him.

When Gagan returned and Fletcher didn't show up for the meeting, she was able to take his place and come further into her own, doing well despite her insecurities. She saw more of her own worth and purpose. Felicity would also keep her promise later as she heard from Fletcher himself he'd been late because of Gagan. Upon seeing the man, she gave him Fletcher's note she'd been guarding and told him about how happy he made Fletcher.

Felicity is present for the meeting where Niccolo exiles himself and is supportive of her brother when he's questioned on his lack of progress and defends Gagan as well. When Fletcher has a panic attack, she comes to his further defense and takes hold of his notes, distracting the group enough while Gagan and Fletcher step away. She is very uncomfortable in doing so, disliking the public speaking especially when everyone is so hostile but she does regardless and manages to soothe some of the worries enough for the heat to die down by the time Fletcher and Gagan reappear. She is surprised to hear Niccolo exile himself and is upset to know he hid the list of Missing students. She does secretly agree with Gagan and think he might've been right not to tell Fletcher about where Gagan was, knowing he'd endanger himself.

Felicity appears later in the cafeteria with Fletcher, asking for him to look over her latest set of math problems. It's been more of an issue as math isn't having the calming effect it once did and she's doubting herself more. Fletcher explains she's still right and doesn't know why she keeps coming to him about it. She's smart and she should know it. Fletcher tries to soothe her but isn't able to do it completely and she steps off on her own, wondering if she'll ever find her own fitting while realizing when they leave, Fletcher will have his life figured out. His cure will elevate him and she'll have no way to compete with that, nor does she really want to. She just wishes she knew what to do next and fears the future and not knowing what she can enjoy while feeling like her and Fletcher are going in different directions. This time, she's not sure she can keep up.
