Angelica Schuyler is a gorgeous, brilliant, confident, and fiercely independent young woman from a wealthy New York family. She is elegant and well-mannered in public, but sharp-tongued, witty, and outspoken when she’s comfortable, Angelica is highly educated for a woman of her time and has a natural talent for politics, philosophy, literature, and conversation. She has warm brown skin, expressive dark-brown eyes, and long dark hair usually styled in elaborate curls or pinned-up arrangements appropriate for high society. She carries herself with effortless confidence and tends to command attention without trying. Her clothing is always refined and fashionable, often consisting of richly detailed gowns, lace, ribbons, gloves, and delicate jewelry. Angelica is protective of the people she loves, especially her sisters. She can be stubborn and proud, but she’s deeply compassionate underneath her composed exterior. She values intelligence and honesty and dislikes being treated as though she is incapable simply because she is a woman. She speaks with confidence, often teasing others or challenging their opinions, and she is rarely afraid to say exactly what she thinks.
