A hard worker to the core of her being, she is slightly talented in many aspects. Always on the move she can never seem to stay still. A very versatile girl, with a smile and a kind neutral word for everyone.
Honor is very important to Felicity, when someone gives you their word it is law. She tires not to promise anything to anyone unless she knows she can full fill that promise. Truthful to a point, she tells things like it is. Even if it is hard for her to do so. When she shares her feelings with another person she makes sure she is sincere.
If you win her respect she can be very loyal, willing to fight for and by anyone’s side. Friends are very important to her and sometimes is hard for her to make them.
At times Felicity can be very patient and helpful. She loves working for causes, sometimes she spreads herself to thin, making sure of other peoples happiness before her own. Family is very important to her. They tend to come first before anything else but sometimes when achieving her goals she can loose sight of that.
Felicity grew up in a mixed household with different rules. At her parent house she was given almost free reign while at her grandparents she had to abide by a strict code of honor and propriety. The rules of the rich are still evident in her manner. She can be a little aloof and very proper towards strangers; with her friends though she is a very going person.
Bad Traits: Although Felicity is a friendly person it is hard for her to express deep feelings. She can be unsure of her self especially in a relationship. Her hesitancy to express feelings actuary can portray herself as cold. She can be rude and outspoken to her enemies, her soft tongue can turn sharp if provoked. It takes lot for her to loose her temper, it flares up suddenly out of nowhere and then disappears. She has an implosive temper, one moment she is nice and charming the next she can be in a fiery temper. Her anger passes as quickly as it comes. When working with her Felicity can be a touch demanding. She wants everyone to work at her pace, or attempt to and can be impacting when they do not at least try. Patience is a virtue she never learned. Although she does try to wait things out. At times she can seem to flirty and pugnacious. When she’s tired her crankiness shows… extremely. She can be even more flighty and snappy. She tends to speak her mind and regret what she says later. When she realizes she is in the wrong she might apologize but only if she thinks the person needs to hear it.
When working hard on a project or a job she can forget about other things. At times she lets her relationships go as well as her health. Felicity is a very restless person, she has to be traveling or working on something otherwise she can be short tempered .
Likes: Felicity adores traveling, it is her passion. She has been all over the world thanks to her Internship at the French Ministry of Magic. Foreign languages are another passion of hers. Learning other languages and cultures puts her mind at work and her feet at ease. She enjoys helping others, watching movies and kisses. French romance novels and white roses are also on her list of likes. A traveler at heart she has a great sense of adventure and likes healthy dose of it, wither in a movie or real life. She likes her freedom and room to do as she pleases. She likes law and its meaning along with the general feel of things. She likes the facts plan and simple.
Dislikes: Liars, people who fling around the word Love. Felicity hates confined spaces, she needs room to breath. She hates not knowing what to do and off the wall theories.

Character's History
Before Felicity Martin was thought of there was her parents and the twisted road that brought them together. Adele Laurent was the youngest of three children born into a rich pureblood family in France. Her parent’s raised her in the up most fashion. She learned edict, went to social events in a certain class range and went to all the right shops. The world of the rich was a dazzling, sparking place that seemed to suffocate Adele. At a young age she wanted to break free from her parents grasp and travel the world. As she grew older she rebelled, dating the people her parents disapproved of, and skipping fashionable parties. After graduating from Beauxbatons with average grades, she convinced her parent to allow her to see the world. Arrangements were made for Adele to stay with an old family friend in America.
Adele was glad to be able to leave France, but upset that she would have to stay with the Vale’s. Her parent’s and them had being trying to arrange a marriage between Adele and their son. Adele resented the elder’s interference, her life was her own and no one would tell her who to marry.
While exploring the wizarding town of Salem’s Peak, Adele met a charming local lad who worked at the skate park. February Martin was different, a breath of fresh air for the French girl. They started to causally date as their friendship grew. It was nothing exclusive, they both saw other people and February knew of Adele’s arranged fiancé.
Adele’s activities were carefully observed by her host family who reported back to her parents. One day out of the blue, after she arrived back from a date with February her parents showed up. A fight happened, wands almost drawn Adele was forced back to France. By that time she was sure she was in love with the American and tried everything she could to not go home. She was an adult who could make her on decisions but her parents didn’t see it that way.
She hadn’t been home more than a month before she found out she was pregnant. Armed with her weapon she confronted her parents telling them she was going back to February to marry him and have his children. Shocked that their little girl was pregnant they watched as she left. Heartbroken but to proud to show it they let her just go breaking off the engagement to the Vales.
Adele landed unannounced at February’s apartment, it had been a month said she had last seen him and she was scared. At first February was shocked at Adele’s news. He was 21 and wasn’t ready for kids, hell he could barely afford his one room apartment yet alone support a baby. Wanting to do right, he proposed to Adele on the promise that they’d stay together for their child.
Before the marriage the couple went to France to speak with Adele’s parents. Even if they didn’t get along she wanted them to be at her wedding. Grudgingly her parents attended the wedding, but refused to offer support to the couple.
It was a surprise to the couple when one baby turned out to be twins. It was a shock at first but they recovered in time for the twins Felicity and Adrian to grace the world on November 24.
When the babies were born the Laurent’s decided to offer their support if they `could have the children for the summer. Adele was a little reluctant to allow her parents that much freedom with her children but they needed the help.
Felicity had a happy childhood, she was the apple of her father’s eye. His little princess, she was a little spoiled by her parents but that was counter minded by her grandparents strict rules. Felicity and her brother Adrian grew up in a semi muggle area in Boston. There were a few other wizarding families in the area. Every summer since the time the twins were two they were sent to their Grandparents in France. F. Martin accompanied his family to his wife’s ancestral home for the first two trips but Adeline’s family had an extreme dislike for the muggleborn wizard. The visits were nice enough but the extreme rules were bothersome to Felicity. She didn’t like having to wear skirts and dresses everyday, they were nice at times but not when you were climbing trees. Felicity had a grand time at her grandparents. She learned how to ride horses and even came in contact with a hippogriff.
It was during the summer of her ninth birthday when she acquired a scar on her left shoulder. She was with Adrian playing in the woods on the edge of the ten acres her mother’s family owned. They weren’t supposed to be there with their horses but they were. Lissy was untangling a twig from her horses mane when she heard a noise. She didn’t think anything of it but it spooked the horses. So much in fact that Felicity’s fiery mare wind flame kicked back hitting Felicity in the shoulder breaking the bone and tearing open the skin. The horses had run off leaving a bleeding Felicity alone with Adrian. Adrian patched his sister as much as possible and helped her halfway back to the manor. There was a small broom shed not to far from the woods. Adrian broke inside and set Felicity down while he took a broom and set off to the house. Felicity was found cold and sleeping curled up in a pile of old robes. She was healed but left with a small scar much to her grandmother’s dismay.
In the summer Felicity had private tutors in courses such as the history of magic, potions and so own. Her grandmother didn’t agree with the idea of her grandchildren going to an American school that was broken up by years. She had hoped to keep at least Felicity behind, the summer of their eleventh birthday, and have her attend Beauxbatons but F. Martin put his foot down and came and got his children himself.
After having private magical tutors her entire life Felicity was more than ready for Salem Witches Institute. By the time she was fourteen she had enough of her family and was ready for a change of scenery.
Once at the school she was sorted into Cliodne along with her brother. She loved her house and school making friends and enemies right away. During school she would study languages on the side as a hobby. By the time she graduated she could add Latin and Spanish to her list of fluency.
During her fifth year Felicity started dating a boy by the name of Andy Parker. They had met during their freshman year but hadn’t really hung out until their junior year. Everything started with a game of chess. Andy thought he could beat Felicity but ended up loosing the stakes and had to jump in the lake. In the pouring rain. Outside, Andy pulled Felicity in the water with him and the rest was history. That day in the lake started a whirlwind romance that lasted over a year. The pair became close, although they fought they seemed to love each other.
The summer before Senior year she begged her parents to allow her to go to Andy’s house. After a lot of convincing they said yes. She put off going to her grandparent’s for a few weeks. Felicity fit in with the Parkers almost instantly, they were a happy non magical family that openingly loved each other. It was a fun nurturing environment and Felicity was a little envious of Andy.
They spent the two weeks out and about the muggle world and the ocean by Andy’s house. He took her out on his boat for the first time. It was wonderful magical time of exploration and innocence. For the first time Felicity felt she truly belonged. The weeks passed too quickly before she was whisked off to France. She kept up corresponded with Andy but when they returned to school that year things were a little awkward.
The had given each other the gift of their innocence but it put a strain on their relationship that wasn’t evident at first. Throughout the year they grew a part, Felicity focusing on her school work and Andy on sports. Felicity had been trying for years to get into a government internship that would allow her to work at the French Ministry. As the deadline approached for her application she worked harder and harder spending less time with Andy. In November her father got sick and Felicity was called home for a week. It was heartbreaking to see her hero so ill but he eventually recovered. Adrian, who had never liked school, decided to drop out to help pay the bills.
Alone without her best friend she dove head on into school work. As graduation approached things between Andy and Felicity hit an all time low. They were fighting constantly, or in strained silence. Felicity barely saw him as she dashed around school. Days before graduation the Felicity met with Andy in the Courtyard. She shared her feelings about their relationship that they had become just friends. He agreed and they parted their separate ways.
Graduating with top marks Felicity headed off to her internship in France. It was different and exciting to actually be on her own in France. Sure she lived at her grandparents estate but she could do want she basically pleased. At first work was fun and challenging. She loved working in the foreign wizardly department. She started out as an intern, learning the inns and outs of what went on behind closed doors. A year into her internship she was hired as a translator. It was an entry level job but she enjoyed it. She moved up quickly until she was a junior assistant to a foreign diplomat. Her new position allowed her to travel the world visiting foreign countries and interacting with Government heads. It was an exciting time but also hard on her. She wasn’t allowed to travel to Salem’s Peak for her brothers wedding or for the birth of his baby girl because of conferences.
Felicity missed her family and was getting tired of France. With each passing day America seemed more and more appealing. Also it seemed liked her family needed her. She knew her parents hadn’t been getting along very well for he last three years and had been separated but when she received a letter stating that her parents were divorcing she was upset. She thought her parent were just being suborn and would get back together as always but this time it seemed for real.
Just before her 21st birthday she heard about the attacks on SWIM. It was a shock to her that anyone in her beloved home country could actually hurt the school. The fact that it happened shook her to the core of her being. What made it worse was that students and adults died.
Frantic for news Felicity sent several owls to her parents and brother. She finally received a torn and bloodily letter back from Adrian. His wife, who was a nurse at the school had been killed in the attack. It was a blow to the family. Her 20 year old twin brother was left to raise a two year old by himself. Again Felicity asked for time off but by the time she could get it the funeral was over. Still she visited her brother, it was bitter sweet. The man seemed to have fallen a part.
As soon as she got back to France Felicity put in a request to transfer to the UFM Government. It took a lot of needling and interviews but with her grandparents contacts Felicity was able to transfer. She dropped in status a little becoming an intern to a Senator once more but she back with her family.
Felicity moved in with Adrian to help raise his little girl in Salem‘s Peak. She watches her at night while he works and he does the day shift. It’s a sad arrangement but it is working for the time being.
Post Example:
Felicity gazed around the familiar sights of Salem’s peak a small smile on her face. She hadn’t realized how much she actually missed the place until she had left for years and returned. She watched as students from SWIM crossed the streets, laughing and goofing around. She remembered her years doing the same.
Shifting out off her fog of memories, she set off down Main street her eyes taking in the sights like a sight seer. Here and there she saw familiar people that she used to know. Felicity smiled at them but did not stop to talk. She doubted many would remembered the woman dressed in foreign looking clothes or liken her to the bright girl she had been.
Felicity pulled her eyes from a window display when she heard a familiar voice that took her back in time. It was like she was standing on the same street but fours years younger listening attentively to a tall, fit boy. Unconsciously her eyes roamed the streets until they landed on a tall brown haired man speaking with an elderly lady. Felicity stopped din mid stride as she watched the man, surprise on her face.
Right away she knew who it was. Andy parker, her boyfriend from SWIM. She didn’t expect him to be back in Salem’s Peak, the last she saw him was in Germany. Apparently the muggle army moved him back to America.
Verification word: (Nice try, ex-lax. better luck next time, now go read the rules!)

Character's History
Before Felicity Martin was thought of there was her parents and the twisted road that brought them together. Adele Laurent was the youngest of three children born into a rich pureblood family in France. Her parent’s raised her in the up most fashion. She learned edict, went to social events in a certain class range and went to all the right shops. The world of the rich was a dazzling, sparking place that seemed to suffocate Adele. At a young age she wanted to break free from her parents grasp and travel the world. As she grew older she rebelled, dating the people her parents disapproved of, and skipping fashionable parties. After graduating from Beauxbatons with average grades, she convinced her parent to allow her to see the world. Arrangements were made for Adele to stay with an old family friend in America.
Adele was glad to be able to leave France, but upset that she would have to stay with the Vale’s. Her parent’s and them had being trying to arrange a marriage between Adele and their son. Adele resented the elder’s interference, her life was her own and no one would tell her who to marry.
While exploring the wizarding town of Salem’s Peak, Adele met a charming local lad who worked at the skate park. February Martin was different, a breath of fresh air for the French girl. They started to causally date as their friendship grew. It was nothing exclusive, they both saw other people and February knew of Adele’s arranged fiancé.
Adele’s activities were carefully observed by her host family who reported back to her parents. One day out of the blue, after she arrived back from a date with February her parents showed up. A fight happened, wands almost drawn Adele was forced back to France. By that time she was sure she was in love with the American and tried everything she could to not go home. She was an adult who could make her on decisions but her parents didn’t see it that way.
She hadn’t been home more than a month before she found out she was pregnant. Armed with her weapon she confronted her parents telling them she was going back to February to marry him and have his children. Shocked that their little girl was pregnant they watched as she left. Heartbroken but to proud to show it they let her just go breaking off the engagement to the Vales.
Adele landed unannounced at February’s apartment, it had been a month said she had last seen him and she was scared. At first February was shocked at Adele’s news. He was 21 and wasn’t ready for kids, hell he could barely afford his one room apartment yet alone support a baby. Wanting to do right, he proposed to Adele on the promise that they’d stay together for their child.
Before the marriage the couple went to France to speak with Adele’s parents. Even if they didn’t get along she wanted them to be at her wedding. Grudgingly her parents attended the wedding, but refused to offer support to the couple.
It was a surprise to the couple when one baby turned out to be twins. It was a shock at first but they recovered in time for the twins Felicity and Adrian to grace the world on November 24.
When the babies were born the Laurent’s decided to offer their support if they `could have the children for the summer. Adele was a little reluctant to allow her parents that much freedom with her children but they needed the help.
Felicity had a happy childhood, she was the apple of her father’s eye. His little princess, she was a little spoiled by her parents but that was counter minded by her grandparents strict rules. Felicity and her brother Adrian grew up in a semi muggle area in Boston. There were a few other wizarding families in the area. Every summer since the time the twins were two they were sent to their Grandparents in France. F. Martin accompanied his family to his wife’s ancestral home for the first two trips but Adeline’s family had an extreme dislike for the muggleborn wizard. The visits were nice enough but the extreme rules were bothersome to Felicity. She didn’t like having to wear skirts and dresses everyday, they were nice at times but not when you were climbing trees. Felicity had a grand time at her grandparents. She learned how to ride horses and even came in contact with a hippogriff.
It was during the summer of her ninth birthday when she acquired a scar on her left shoulder. She was with Adrian playing in the woods on the edge of the ten acres her mother’s family owned. They weren’t supposed to be there with their horses but they were. Lissy was untangling a twig from her horses mane when she heard a noise. She didn’t think anything of it but it spooked the horses. So much in fact that Felicity’s fiery mare wind flame kicked back hitting Felicity in the shoulder breaking the bone and tearing open the skin. The horses had run off leaving a bleeding Felicity alone with Adrian. Adrian patched his sister as much as possible and helped her halfway back to the manor. There was a small broom shed not to far from the woods. Adrian broke inside and set Felicity down while he took a broom and set off to the house. Felicity was found cold and sleeping curled up in a pile of old robes. She was healed but left with a small scar much to her grandmother’s dismay.
In the summer Felicity had private tutors in courses such as the history of magic, potions and so own. Her grandmother didn’t agree with the idea of her grandchildren going to an American school that was broken up by years. She had hoped to keep at least Felicity behind, the summer of their eleventh birthday, and have her attend Beauxbatons but F. Martin put his foot down and came and got his children himself.
After having private magical tutors her entire life Felicity was more than ready for Salem Witches Institute. By the time she was fourteen she had enough of her family and was ready for a change of scenery.
Once at the school she was sorted into Cliodne along with her brother. She loved her house and school making friends and enemies right away. During school she would study languages on the side as a hobby. By the time she graduated she could add Latin and Spanish to her list of fluency.
During her fifth year Felicity started dating a boy by the name of Andy Parker. They had met during their freshman year but hadn’t really hung out until their junior year. Everything started with a game of chess. Andy thought he could beat Felicity but ended up loosing the stakes and had to jump in the lake. In the pouring rain. Outside, Andy pulled Felicity in the water with him and the rest was history. That day in the lake started a whirlwind romance that lasted over a year. The pair became close, although they fought they seemed to love each other.
The summer before Senior year she begged her parents to allow her to go to Andy’s house. After a lot of convincing they said yes. She put off going to her grandparent’s for a few weeks. Felicity fit in with the Parkers almost instantly, they were a happy non magical family that openingly loved each other. It was a fun nurturing environment and Felicity was a little envious of Andy.
They spent the two weeks out and about the muggle world and the ocean by Andy’s house. He took her out on his boat for the first time. It was wonderful magical time of exploration and innocence. For the first time Felicity felt she truly belonged. The weeks passed too quickly before she was whisked off to France. She kept up corresponded with Andy but when they returned to school that year things were a little awkward.
The had given each other the gift of their innocence but it put a strain on their relationship that wasn’t evident at first. Throughout the year they grew a part, Felicity focusing on her school work and Andy on sports. Felicity had been trying for years to get into a government internship that would allow her to work at the French Ministry. As the deadline approached for her application she worked harder and harder spending less time with Andy. In November her father got sick and Felicity was called home for a week. It was heartbreaking to see her hero so ill but he eventually recovered. Adrian, who had never liked school, decided to drop out to help pay the bills.
Alone without her best friend she dove head on into school work. As graduation approached things between Andy and Felicity hit an all time low. They were fighting constantly, or in strained silence. Felicity barely saw him as she dashed around school. Days before graduation the Felicity met with Andy in the Courtyard. She shared her feelings about their relationship that they had become just friends. He agreed and they parted their separate ways.
Graduating with top marks Felicity headed off to her internship in France. It was different and exciting to actually be on her own in France. Sure she lived at her grandparents estate but she could do want she basically pleased. At first work was fun and challenging. She loved working in the foreign wizardly department. She started out as an intern, learning the inns and outs of what went on behind closed doors. A year into her internship she was hired as a translator. It was an entry level job but she enjoyed it. She moved up quickly until she was a junior assistant to a foreign diplomat. Her new position allowed her to travel the world visiting foreign countries and interacting with Government heads. It was an exciting time but also hard on her. She wasn’t allowed to travel to Salem’s Peak for her brothers wedding or for the birth of his baby girl because of conferences.
Felicity missed her family and was getting tired of France. With each passing day America seemed more and more appealing. Also it seemed liked her family needed her. She knew her parents hadn’t been getting along very well for he last three years and had been separated but when she received a letter stating that her parents were divorcing she was upset. She thought her parent were just being suborn and would get back together as always but this time it seemed for real.
Just before her 21st birthday she heard about the attacks on SWIM. It was a shock to her that anyone in her beloved home country could actually hurt the school. The fact that it happened shook her to the core of her being. What made it worse was that students and adults died.
Frantic for news Felicity sent several owls to her parents and brother. She finally received a torn and bloodily letter back from Adrian. His wife, who was a nurse at the school had been killed in the attack. It was a blow to the family. Her 20 year old twin brother was left to raise a two year old by himself. Again Felicity asked for time off but by the time she could get it the funeral was over. Still she visited her brother, it was bitter sweet. The man seemed to have fallen a part.
As soon as she got back to France Felicity put in a request to transfer to the UFM Government. It took a lot of needling and interviews but with her grandparents contacts Felicity was able to transfer. She dropped in status a little becoming an intern to a Senator once more but she back with her family.
Felicity moved in with Adrian to help raise his little girl in Salem‘s Peak. She watches her at night while he works and he does the day shift. It’s a sad arrangement but it is working for the time being.
Post Example:
Felicity gazed around the familiar sights of Salem’s peak a small smile on her face. She hadn’t realized how much she actually missed the place until she had left for years and returned. She watched as students from SWIM crossed the streets, laughing and goofing around. She remembered her years doing the same.
Shifting out off her fog of memories, she set off down Main street her eyes taking in the sights like a sight seer. Here and there she saw familiar people that she used to know. Felicity smiled at them but did not stop to talk. She doubted many would remembered the woman dressed in foreign looking clothes or liken her to the bright girl she had been.
Felicity pulled her eyes from a window display when she heard a familiar voice that took her back in time. It was like she was standing on the same street but fours years younger listening attentively to a tall, fit boy. Unconsciously her eyes roamed the streets until they landed on a tall brown haired man speaking with an elderly lady. Felicity stopped din mid stride as she watched the man, surprise on her face.
Right away she knew who it was. Andy parker, her boyfriend from SWIM. She didn’t expect him to be back in Salem’s Peak, the last she saw him was in Germany. Apparently the muggle army moved him back to America.
Verification word: (Nice try, ex-lax. better luck next time, now go read the rules!)
