{Quiet, Temperamental, Hard-Working, Obsessive}
Felicity is more or less your average bookworm. She prefers to drift along, offering advice every once in awhile and helping when she can. However, Felicity is far from laid back. She is actually very detail oriented and more or less a bit of a perfectionist. Most people would find this trait annoying, but she has a habit of getting it done herself rather than asking other people to do it. She is very hard-working and it is not unusual to see her volunteering whenever she's not at work or cleaning her apartment.
However, Felicity's work ethic goes beyond what could be considered healthy. She is obsessive about finishing things to the point that she will often forget to take care of herself. Luckily, she has people, alarms, and her dog to constantly remind her. There is a side to Felicity that many do not see though. She actually has a very short temper and can easily get annoyed. However, she has spent years perfecting the art of not blowing up. When she is frustrated or angry, Felicity will walk away from the situation to cool down. Sometimes, her temper does get the better of her and she manages to sneak in a snark comeback, which tends to knock people down a peg, but Felicity is good at avoiding combat for the most part.

|Hobbies|
~Reading~
If Felicity did not enjoy reading, I would question why she's a librarian. The young women will often have her nose buried in a book when she's not working or when she's simply sitting around idly. She will read anything, even nonfiction works to entertain herself and she has mastered the art of walking and reading.
~Tennis~
As the only sport Felicity enjoys, she will often turn to tennis for exercise. She loves it with a passion and it is one of the only ways she manages to do any physical activity with getting bored or stopping halfway through.
~Piano~
Felicity has been taught to play the piano from a young age and it is quite possibly one of her favorite pastimes. She has even been noted as a prodigy of sorts, able to play by ear or memorize a piece after only playing it twice.

|Habits|
~Biting her Nails~
Most of the time, Felicity is not aware of this habit. She tends to bite her nails when one or both of her hands are not busy with something else.
~Licking her Lips~
A nervous habit, Felicity will lick her lips when she's lying or when she's worried about something.
~Tilting her Head~
If Felicity is confused, she will often tilt her head while she asks a question or when she is reading. It isn't something she really means to do, it just kind of happens.

Felicity was born to a typical white fence family with an older sister named Rose and later, a younger brother named Baxter. On the outside, her life seemed perfect. On the inside, it was far from that. More often than not, the Torque adults were gone, doing one thing or another and the children rarely saw them. When they were gone, Rose was in charge. Felicity's older sister was abusive and cruel. She left Baxter alone for the most part, but she would physically and verbally abuse Felicity. To avoid Rose for as long as possible, Felicity would hide in her room with Baxter with the door locked or take him to the library. When their parents came home, Rose would make up lies about Felicity's bruises. They blindly believed her. After Rose moved out, Felicity finally thought she could live happily, but things continued to take a turn for the worse.
The father, Orion, lost his job, leaving the four crammed into a small apartment. He began drinking and Felicity soon found out that he had the same temper as Rose. Her mother admitted that they were only gone because she didn't want him near her children if he got angry. However, the family was now unable to afford vacations and Felicity witnessed her mother getting abused by her father. It was only a matter of time before she disappeared into the night.
Felicity still protected Baxter to the best of her abilities, letting him take his anger out on her if she had to. It was a miserable existence and the only way she could escape it was through the written word and by avoiding the house as much as possible by joining the tennis team and taking piano lessons from the Head Librarian. In her senior year of high school, Felicity met Andrew Peller. Kind and gentle, Andrew was much different from most of the other people in her life. She began spending nights at his house with Baxter. After hearing her story, he demanded that she call the police, but Felicity rejected that proposal. She and Baxter spent several years with Andrew and his family and she slowly fell in love with him.
Needless to say, when Orion found them, he was not happy. He dragged Felicity out of the house by her hair while Andrew's parents frantically called the police. Andrew tried to defend her, but Orion brutally attacked him. The police managed to detain the drunken man and he was hauled off to prison. Andrew, on the other hand, had sustained serious injuries and died the next morning with Felicity holding his hand. Broken hearted and more than a little defeated, Felicity decided it was best that she leave. The Pellers still treated her like family and offered to let her stay, but the weight of Andrew's death weighed heavily on her.
While Baxter stayed with them, Felicity traveled around. Eventually, she settled down in Brewster and got a job at the local library. It didn't pay amazingly, but she quickly worked up to Head Librarian and the rest is, as they say, history
