Angelica Schuyler

Grew Up… as the oldest daughter of American general Philip Schuyler. Her family is wealthy, and, as her parents have yet to have a son, Angelica is expected to maintain her family’s status and marry rich.

Living… in New York. Angelica is fascinated with the city, often sneaking out of her home with her sisters to see and be a part of the newfound energy taking to the streets. While her sisters Eliza and Peggy are more hesitant to disobey their father’s orders, Angelica is defiant. In response to Peggy’s uncertainty of exploring the area, Angelica says: “Daddy doesn’t need to know.”

Interests… women’s rights. A revolution is brewing to become independence from England, but Angelica longs for independence from men. As she says, “you want a revolution, I want a revelation.” 

Relationship Status… unsatisfied. Angelica fixed her sister up with Alexander Hamilton, but now Angelica regrets it. She and Hamilton have so much in common, including chemistry for each other. Angelica cannot help but wonder what might have been.

Challenge… fulfilling her own needs. Angelica is a woman of great wit and reason, yet this often causes her to be too analytical. Angelica must be able to put her judgements aside (when necessary) and instead listen to her heart. For if she doesn’t, she could end up hurting more in the process.  

Personality… witty, protective, and engaging. Angelica’s intellectual abilities and ideas surpass most others, although her passionate nature can cause her to make the wrong choices. Like Eliza, she is selfless and strong, willing to sacrifice anything for her family.
