Other Trivia: Fifteen-years-old, and brilliant and light years ahead of her time. Is the bookworm of the 18th century teenage aristocratic trio containing herself, her bisexual brother Henry "Monty", and his biracial lover Percy Newton; her quick thinking gets the boys out of trouble on their adventures. Not merely the straight man (in the comedic sense) of the group, she is clever and riotously entertaining on her own original terms. She proves that female fragility and male dependence are not, and never have been, a thing, biologically or otherwise. Is set to be the lead in the sequel to the 2017 historical LBGTQ YA hit The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, titled The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy, released in October 2018. Her character alone is enough for the high anticipation of this launch. She is simply outstanding and inspirational, like any real woman living in Victorian times, who, having no rights whatsoever, were forced to hide their intelligence and independence. Many were brave and tried to break the status quo, even then; however their personhood and efforts were deliberately ignored and outright erased from history by the patriarchy. Felicity Montague would definitely be one of them, as a scientist and pirate and all. No romantic attachments for her.
