Felicity Merriman is a spunky nine-year-old girl growing up in colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Her stories take place between 1774 and 1776, just as the Revolutionary War is starting. Felicity comes from a Patriot family—a family that wants the colonies to be independent from England.

Marie-Grace was retired in 2014.
To maintain consistency with the characters through time, almost nothing was retired by Pleasant Company. Addy, for example, has had every single item in her original school collection retired. When Kaya was released in 2002, Felicity was removed from paper catalogs.
