◣ basic information
Previously a Broadway fixture, Felicity now spends her time performing in various community theatre productions around Philadelphia and dabbling in vocal coaching (and she does occasionally make the trip back to NYC for off-Broadway shows when the mood strikes). most of her free time is spent shopping and at various spas, per her constant obsession with maintaining her second go at youth. a graduate of both rada and oxford, she holds degrees in theatre and english literature - just in case performance ever falls through for her.

tie ins • felicity and fauna not only begin with the same letter, but in latin felicity means 'good fortune', a small call out to the fairies gifts bestowed on aurora; while thistle is a play on fauna's equivalent in maleficent.
• felicity's favourite colour is green, the colour that fauna is always seen in.
• her career in musical theatre is an obvious call out to fauna's gifting aurora with the gift of song.
• performed in broadway's cinderella as the title role from jan 2013-2014 and was nominated for a tony; the irony of this now is not lost on her.

tidbits • Has a very hard time not bringing home any stray animals she finds out and about, some of which she keeps, some of which she adopts out to other families. She currently houses a miniature horse, four cats, three dogs, a parakeet, and a deer.
• Has a soprano vocal range, and was briefly trained in opera at her mother's behest. Felicity prefers contemporary musical theatre, however, and has only been in one operatic production to date.
• is a horrendous driver. most friends will not even get into the vehicle if she's driving; she's been told she's a much too aggressive driver and her road rage is unparalleled.
• is wholly addicted to pinterest. most of her pins are fashion, wedding, and home interior related, but she pins more recipes than she should considering she butchers all of them.
• being given a second whirl at youth has admittedly made her rather vain; constant beauty treatments and spa days are something she holds as top priority, and she began getting preventative botox at twenty-six. if you want to know about what's new and hot on the skin care market, felicity's your go-to girl.

personality Unlike her fairy tale counterpart, Felicity is not quite so scatter brained and oblivious to everything that goes on around her. Does she err on the side of flighty and have her occasionally ditsy moments? Certainly, but since the curse, she's become considerably more self aware and self preserving. Growing up an only child who was denied very little, she has gotten it into her head that she is never, ever wrong - because of this, she can be incredibly bull headed and will continue arguing even if a lightbulb goes off and she realises she is in fact the wrong party. She tells herself it's endearing.
Felicity Thistle was born the only child of a neurosurgeon and a retired opera star in bustling London, England. with parents on completely different ends of the parenting spectrum - george believed in academia and constructive learning, elaine believed in the arts and allowing felicity to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted to - felicity led a somewhat jumbled childhood, full of everything from painting and vocal lessons to tutors in latin and ancient greek. much to her father's constant disappointment, felicity grew more towards her mother's side of things, blossoming in the vocal and theatre lessons elaine provided for her. by ten, she'd already appeared in small choral and supporting roles in both local community theatre and west end productions, though she never did take quite as much a shine to opera as elaine had hoped for. when it became clear a few years later that the stage was what felicity wanted so dearly to pursue, george conceded and allowed her to be pulled from the prestigious private school she'd been attending in favour of home schooling with private tutors to work around a performance schedule.

her social life was a completely separate matter, and one that fell by the wayside. george had fretted that home schooling would isolate her too much, and though both his wife and daughter objected, there was some grain of truth to his concerns. felicity grew up believing she was the best - best at performing, best at being right, best at anything, something her mother fueled in her. she alienated peers with her self-righteous ways, and for a good few early teen years, she could count on one hand the friends she had. not that it bothered her, of course; she was performing on west end productions, why did she need friends? her rude awakening came at seventeen with a few months of nothing but rejections and call backs that went nowhere, breaking her carefully built bubble and bringing her back down to earth and the realisation that maybe she wasn't as vastly superior as she'd believed. better now than later, her father had scolded. she bounced back easily, but she was careful to be less idealistic about herself and those around her. over the next few years she grew not only as a performer but also as a person, friend, daughter. cheesy, she always says when she looks back on it, but it is what it is.

Having found some notoriety on the West End stage by the time she was twenty-five, Felicity made the jump across the pond with a move to new york city and found continued success on broadawy. Only a year and a half after the move to New York City, however, she fell in love with a director who was struggling to make a name for himself on Broadway and decided to move to Philadelphia, hoping to workshop his productions in a more laid back environment - despite protestations from friends, Felicity followed him to Pennsylvania. The relationship began to dissolve when Felicity once again found herself being offered parts left and right, and he continued struggling to find sponsors for his. Even after the relationship officially fizzled, however, Felicity decided to stay in Philadelphia; the lifestyle was slower paced and down to earth, and truth be told, she had begun to get a bit burnt out after years on a more prominent stage. every so often she returns to broadway for a limited engagement, taking over the guest rooms of friends and living out her broadway dreams, but she always pulls herself back to philadelphia and the more low key theatres available there. with a cosy trust fund from her parents, it isn't as if she needs to do it for the money - and heaven knows there is little to no money in philadelphia theatre acting - and she is well aware that she has a luxury of being able to simply follow her whimsies that others do not.
