Felicia is a character in the Darkstalkers series. She was first introduced in Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors as one of two female characters alongside Morrigan Aensland.
She has appeared in every game in the series and in numerous cross overs including Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.
Background
Felicia was born in Las Vegas, Nevada in the US and was raised by a Catholic nun named Rose. When Rose died Felicia left her home town and followed her dream of trying to become a musical star. Throughout her travels her various fights were mainly an attempt to try and be accepted as a catwoman, although she also met many other catwomen who aided her in her efforts to become a star. Eventually Felicia and her catwoman friends started a musical production with Felicia featuring in the main role. Throughout Darkstalkers 3 Felicia attempted to find ways to bring happiness to others and eventually became a nun herself, founding an orphanage named Felicity House.
Felicia is very physically fit but also has a feminine and playful personality. In addition to singing and dancing she also likes cats themselves and dislikes unfriendly or harsh individuals. When she fights, she only injures an opponent as much as she has to in order to win. Like a cat Felicia posses strong feline instincts as well as great agility and most of her attacks are acrobatic in nature. She has the ability to roll into a ball and tackle enemies (somewhat like Sonic the Hedgehog), appears to have a very strong tail and appears to possess some supernatural powers, including the ability to transform into a cat.
The Catwomen Race
Catwomen are born the same just as any other human child. However, around the ages of 4-6, they start to grow body hair, cat ears, paws and tails (though fur patterns and colors may vary just like average cats). They also gain the ability to transform into regular cats, but some retain features from their catwoman form. In Felicia's case, when she transforms into a cat, she is often shown with a small patch of blue hair. Their sense of smell is several thousand times that of a human. They use this sense of smell to find other Catwomen. Like many of the other Darkstalkers, they also dislike sunlight and usually act at night.
There are no men in the Catwomen race. They reproduce by mating with males of other species, and the offspring is always female. This is somewhat similar to the way the Asari, from Mass Effect, reproduce.
Felicia's Friends
Players are able to perform certain special moves that summon several other Cat-women to Felicia's aid. Each catwoman is part of certain attacks, with multiple catwomen being part of one attack. The appearance of each catwoman is not random either as the same attack will call the same companion. The specials that call forth companions are "Kitty's Helper," "Please Help Me!," and "Dark Force." Dark Force is only available in Vampire Savior/Hunter 2. They are not named in the game at all, but they each have been given unique origins and names.
Alto: A child with a ribbon. She is 10 years old. It's unknown where she was born. She was kept as rare pet by a rich man but escaped. She lived in the mountains like a wild beast, but was saved by Grace. She is very shy and afraid of strangers. She was named Alto by Grace, possibly because of her voice type.
Grace: The big one with a pony-tail. She is 24 years old. Born in Utah, she is the guardian of Alto. She has the best skills in turning into humans and can stay in that form the longest. She is like a mother to Alto and likes to take care of others.
Lucy: The big one with a bandanna. She is 18 years old. Born in Virginia, she used to work under a circus. When one of her few understanding human friends died of a sickness, she left the circus. While she was wandering, she met Felicia. She's very cynical and likes to make cynical remarks. She is the strongest out of the group.
Nana and Mimi: Children with ribbons on. They are 11 years old. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Saitama, Japan. They were taken to Japan where they snuck into a trade ship. They were found and raised by an understanding old couple. Both are very easy going.
Nonno: Also called Tama, she is friends with Nana. They became friends in the mountains behind their house. Her age and background isn't clear, but she likes to hide in balls and play.
Pico: A child with braided hair. She is 7 years old, born in Minnesota, America. She used to live in an orphanage, but after she saw Felicia's stage show, she left her orphanage to seek Felicia. She found out she was a Catwoman after she met Felicia. She is full of curiosity and fears nothing.
Age & Appearance
Although she appears to be somewhere in her 20s, she is technically quite old. In human years, she's almost 45, but in cat years, she's apparently somewhere around 3-7. In Cross Edge, she is listed as being 15. Due to her appearance, most people disregard her "real" age and just accept the idea that she's a grown woman in her twenties.
