Description So, this will be a LONG-ass description, but it's kinda cool, at least for me, as it shows just how unoriginal I am

Anyway, 20 years ago, on this very day, I made a drawing of a character , her name was Jenny, but then I switched it Felicia.
A few years later, I reckon I must have started playing Final Fantasy games, when I learned of a somewhat recurring character in each game named Cid, but, as we all know, it wasn't always the same Cid, it was a different person, but with the same name, and it was almost always related to aerial vehicles and the such.
I liked this idea, so, from then on, I decided to make my own version of semi-recurring character for each of my own series, and it would be the very first character I recorded that I created, and that was, Felicia.
And, just like the Cids, each created version of Fel would have to follow certain unchanging rules:
1. She will have to be related someway to cats.
2. She will have to have something purple (or any of its tones) on her.
3. She will not be related to any of the other Felicias nor there will ever be more than one in the same story.
4. The number of the order of creation (i.e. "The First", #02) will have to be included in her name so we know her place in the order of her creation.
5. She will never be a protagonist, ever.
6. Although she can be initially shown as antagonist, she will always become a support character to the protagonist.

So, without further ado, let's present you each and everyone of those Fels, starting from right to left:

1. Felicia The First. The original, when I drew her 20 years ago , during my obligatory fanfic OC explosion every Sonic fan usually has, she was just a complete rip-off of Polly Esther from Samurai Pizza Cats, she even had a crude red armor, and as I said, her name was Jenny, though I've never actually liked that name, so I changed it pretty quick to Felicia, possibly because of Darkstalkers. Anyway, she was set to appear in episode 4 of my online Sonic fanfic comic, CHAOSIS , but because of the poor to no feedback I got from that comic, I don't even know if I'll continue making it
2. Felicia #02. She's a human/cat hybrid, who also has retractable bones kinda like Wolverine, but more like the X-Men mutant Spike, but without the throwing. As I said, I must've played Final Fantasy VII by this time as it not only gave me the idea to start the Felicia trend, but the series itself she was for was a complete rip-off of that same game you know, emo kid with existential crisis has to save the world, etc, etc.
I am happy to tell you that this series has been completely rewritten into something that doesn't look like a complete rip-off, and I may release it in the near future, I just need to write the other half of it, and we'll be ready to go!
3. Felicia Thirdborn. She's a werecat girl... and that's about it, lol, I haven't written much about her at all, she was supposed to appear in a magical medieval series I had planned ages ago, but I've never developed her character much, I'm considering on changing her to another series about werewolves, but truth be told, I dunno if I'll make that any time soon, and I could even completely erase this Felicia from existence if necessary
4. Felicia Northwind IV. Is a regular human girl that is from a post-apocalyptic comic I've been planing forever, IV belongs to a soldier company, although she's not strong nor good at fighting, the girl is actually a savant, as she can learn a lot of things very quick and is also able to use hacking skills.
I dunno when this Felicia will officially appear, as the series I mentioned have been troubling to write, as I just cannot come up with a convincing post-apocalyptic setting for the characters of that story
5. Felicia Ortega V - a.k.a. "Hellix". Another human girl that is a genius inventor, and sidekick to a local vigilante heroine from a city ruled by crime, Nevula .
This was the very first Felicia to ever officially appear in a comic, and the funny thing is, she wasn't the original fifth Felicia, the original one was supposed to appear in a series I have completely scrapped about the old west and stuff, the Felicia there was an tribal girl with a hooded feline pelt that contained four sleigh bells, why the bells? Well, if you look closely, Felicia #02 has a bell medallion around her neck, Thirdborn originally had one bell on each ear (two in total), Northwind IV has three bells on her left wrist, anyway, this was supposed to be a trend to keep adding one bell to each new Felicia, but then it became troublesome to put them so many bells, so I discarded that idea
Back to Ortega V, her original name was Xochitl, but since I had already planned her suit to be cat-themed, I decided to make her the Fifth Fel
6. Felicia Sextus. Sextus is a human girl, that also happens to be a strong magician, her ability is to morph into any kind of cat, including mythical ones, she may be inserted into a comic we have started to develop about paranormal stuff, but it's on its very early stages of writing, so it'll take a while for this Felicia to show up, but she's definitely here to stay
7. Felicia Seven. She's a completely anthropomorphic cat girl from a race called Felans, she's the second and latest Felicia to officially appear, debuting on chapter 2 of my collab comic with Hyakureiki , Danger Pussy!
Seven is a rogue-build character, so don't let her small size and innocent look fool you, she's a very crafty wrist crossbow user and deadly as all hell, I really recommend reading this comic to see more, it's right here on DA, and it's completely free
8. Felicia Octava. This one really stands out from the rest, huh? yep, this frail old lady wasn't actually drawn by me, she was created... on the game of Sims 4! anyway, you may not see anything cat-related about her, but she's supposed to serve as the obligatory crazy cat lady, although, since Sims 4 doesn't have any cats yet, she's just plain crazy.
A fun fact of this Felicia, is that despite her looking similar to Sextus, her Sims model was actually based on Northwind IV, as I first created her young self looking like that one, then aged her into the elderly self we see now.
9. Felicia Hardesky IX. Oooh boy, this one's a bit tricky, notice how she doesn't have the required purple color on her? Well, that's because... I didn't created her! But she's actually an adaptation of an already existing famous character which I won't say who it is nor where she's from because I don't like making promises and also, COME ON, IT'S PRETTY DAMN OBVIOUS.
Anyway, I plan on making a fanfic of (un)said series, but I dunno when it will be ready, and it's also reaaaally possible that I'll be removing her as the ninth Felicia and replace her with a new one
10. Mayor Felicia Tenth. Another completely normal human, who happens to be the mayor AND secretary of Puerto Moderno, a city from another collab comic I'm currently working on, however, this comic is currently only available on print and in Spanish, so, I don't know if it'll ever make it online and in English, since I am not the only author of the series, anyway, Mayor Tenth is set to appear very soon as I'm already working on the comic she'll make her official debut on, so she'll be the third Felicia ever shown in a comic!

Anyway, that's it, hope you all liked this little trip down memory lane, I know I sure did, and hopefully you weren't disappointed too much by my lack of originality! So tell me, out of all the Ten Felicias so far, which one has been your favorite?

Also, can you believe that TEN years ago I made a similar pic with only five Felicias I had up until then?

Finally, the original Fifth Felicia wasn't the only discarded one, there was also another one (at least) that I remember, maybe I will add them later on if you're interested and talk about them a bit, tell me whatcha think about that

PS: My actual first character that I ever created was a mix of Batman and Darkwing Duck called Darkman , however, I have no idea the exact day I created him since I was very young, but I'm certain it was between 1994 and 1995 as I was about to graduate from elementary school.
