Felicity is an enemy in Sonny 2, and toward the end of the game she joins Sonny's party and becomes a playable character. She is a Blade Dancer, and she joins Sonny's party after the player completes stage 5 at Hew.

Background

Felicity is a female zombie that first appears as an antagonist at the beginning of Sonny 2 when she stealsthe tape from Sonny. She later reappears as the boss of New Alcatraz, fiercely determined to keep the tape from returning to Sonny. However, when she is losing in combat, she tosses the tape back to Sonny and escapes, but not before hurling a knife into Veradux's face (for the second time). She then escapes, carrying a body of an unknown individual and bidding farewell to the duo.

She can ride a motorbike well and has a fondness for using throwing knives in combat. The fact that she consistently ends up throwing a knife into Veradux's face almost every time they encounter her is a recurring joke throughout Sonny 2.

Felicity reappears in Hew at Stage 5, offering her skills as she also wishes to see the Mayor overthrown. Later on in the stage, a cutscene between Felicity and the Mayor reveals that the Mayor knew Felicity when she was alive (not as a zombie), and is immensely afraid of Felicity.

Theory

This section contains theoretical information.
This is a fan-made theory and not official information.

No evidence has currently been given for how Veradux and Felicity became zombies. The only known groups trying to find a cure for zombification were the Insurgents and the crew of White November, both of whom were attacked by the ZPCI. However, due to the existence of intelligent zombies such as Felicity, Baron Brixius, Sonny, and Veradux, one of the research teams must have been able to revive zombies at some point. It is possible that Felicity, Veradux, and Baron Brixius were revived by one of these teams.

At the end of Stage 4, a silhouette that looks like Felicity rescinds back after a body was dropped in during a worker's meeting. This final spark lit the fire that started the riots in Hew. Though it is not confirmed whether Felicity was actually the one who instigated the riot, it does coincide with her desire to see the Mayor of Hew overthrown.

Back when Felicity wasn't a zombie, she has been acquainted with the Mayor of Hew. At some point, the Mayor thought she was dead and did not expect her to return in Hew as a zombie. The Mayor is extremely afraid of Felicity, frantically calling for the ZPCI Ambassador to 'keep her away from me'.

Ability Selection

Notes on enemy AI:	While in a given battle stage, enemies will attempt to use First Choice abilities. If impossible (due to focus, silencing or cooldowns), they will proceed to Second Choice, etc. Cooldown for enemies indicates how often abilities may be used, and is effectively one less than for Sonny (IE cooldown of 2 can be used every second turn) Enemy-targetting abilities have a chance of targetting the weakest enemy rather than targetting at random; this is given in the Attributes section above. Ally-targetting abilities always target the weakest targetable ally. Selection within a category is random unless indicated. All exceptions noted below.
Battle Stages	First Choice	Second Choice	Third Choice
HP never passed 50%	Black Metal Blade Shield	Leading Strike
HP above 50%, passed 50% but not 35%	Serious Business	Leading Strike Throw Knife

Tactics

As an Enemy

Felicity always begins her boss battle with the Blade Dance ability, which shields her. A physical attacker should focus on rushing her shield down, as breaking it prematurely will lower Felicity's physical defense.

Felicity's most common attack is Black Metal, which cuts down healing by 95%. This heavily impacts Veradux's ability to heal in combat. It is recommended for players to set Veradux's team command to be offensive so as to not let him waste heals.

When Felicity reaches 50% health or below, she uses Serious Business which halves damage taken and increases the damage she does. A player with burst or combo damage can choose to unleash their arsenal at when Felicity is somewhere above 50% health, so she would be easier to deal with after Serious Business. After using Serious Business, Felicity will also begin to use other abilities like Garrote (silences) and Shadow Blend (boosts speed).

However, if stunned when she is supposed to use Serious Business, she will be forced to wait until the stun ends before using Serious Business, and if the player can deal enough damage to push her HP into the next phase, where she uses Shadow Blend, a glitch occurs in which she completely skips using Serious Business, which makes the fight a lot easier. It is rather tricky to execute this procedure, and can usually only be done after beating the boss fight once and gathering some more powerful equipment.

It is possible to use the above glitch as a cold Hydraulic by using Flash Freeze when she is almost at 50% health and using Vapour Cannon to Flash Freeze to another Vapour Cannon afterwards, this is possible even in a Legend run.

It is recommended for players to use attacks that can't be evaded when Felicity uses Shadow Blend, as it can be difficult to hit her in that form.

The battle ends prematurely when Felicity reaches 10% health, though it is possible to outright kill her before that happens.

As an Ally

Felicity when considered as an ally would most likely would replace Roald as Veradux's role as a healer is too vital, especially at higher difficulties. Felicity's main advantage over Roald is her damage output, Felicity can easily achieve over 1000 damage at the cost of being much more fragile, even when using the same gear Roald used. Her other advantage is that she starts out at level 22, which allows her to instantly use the equipment at Hew. In a Legend run, she will be the first ally to do so and she would share the same role as Roald, to attack.

Aside from Felicity's low health, she lacks any sort of supporting abilities barring Blade Shield, which is a double-edged sword as it lowers Physical defense, which is the most common element within the game. While Roald's Greater Purpose is not a good heal by itself, it can still boost Veradux's heal and does not lower a stat. Felicity's viability drops the more grinding done within a save file. While at 22, she is still very high leveled, the level can be matched by Sonny and his team without excessively grinding.

Trivia

• Felix and Feliz mean happy, so dropping the x/z in her name, will mean 'happy city' (alternatively, "Felicity" is a word on its own that refers to happiness). This could mean she is the mayor's daughter, as the mayor named for his wishes for Hew.
• Felicity is the first female character that joins Sonny's party that is related to the plot of the game. While Amber and Catelin appeared in Sonny, they were unrelated to the plot.
• Felicity's scar on her face is inconsistent within her art. In the art used in the last Cinematic, her scar is on her left side of her face going up. However, in the art used in the inventory screen, her scar in on her right side of her face, is larger and goes down. Meanwhile, on the art in the official OST for Sonny 2, her scar is on the right side and smaller.
• There is an unused piece of art within Sonny that shows Sonny and Veradux with three unknown figures. One of them is a female character that has yellow eyes and clothing that is similar to Felicity. From how Sonny has aspects from its sequel (Such as Hew being referenced) this could be an earlier design of her.
