Felicity Ray

Felicity Ray is a student at St Clare's School. She appears solely in Fifth Formers of St Clares.

History
Felicity is moved up into the fifth from the fourth form, which Mirabel Unwin states is high time, as she is older than most of the fifth. Felicity shares a study with Anne-Marie Longden, as they are both new girls. Felicity is a genius at music, and she is studying for a stiff music exam, called the L.R.A.M, and spends a lot of spare time on that. Miss Theobald doesn't want her to take, it, but Mr and Mrs Ray insist on encouraging Felicity. Felicity think that Anne-Marie's poems are useless, and refuses to set music to them, as Anne-Marie asks. In one of Miss Willcox's lessons, Felicity gets a tune stuck in her head and interrupts the lesson. Miss Willcox, in a terrible mood, sends her out of the room, then asks Anne-Marie to tell her to go to her study and write out the act of the play they are studying. Felicity begins to sleepwalk, and is discovered by Anne-Marie, who is prompted to do her own sleepwalking act. Felicity is driven to the verge of a nervous breakdown, and a specialist from London comes to see her. She is forbidden to work at music for a year, and drops out of not only the music exam, but the fifth form exam that is being taken by the other girls.

At the beginning of The Sixth Form at St Clares, Janet Robins mentions that Felicity has left to have a long rest before making any decisions about her future.
