Growing adult, her brother sells her out to marry a king from another country whom she even never heard of. When she finally agrees to marry her betrothed, King George, she's utterly shocked upon witnessing his sudden changing behavior, thus immediately regrets her decision. Upon learning that there's something wrong about her husband and trying to figure it out, George starts to become despicably distant toward her, even worse the palace (including her right-hand, Brimsley) also persistently deny her claims. Despite feeling deceived, she refuses to give up on searching for the truth about George's [[spoiler: apparent mental illness/madness]]; standing up to her mother-in-law, Princess Augusta, and fires Dr Monro. Despite George constantly chases her away out of protecting her, not only does it not stop her from persistently standing by him, but also from loving him.

* AscendedExtra: Boarding on AdaptationalProtagonist considering the amount of screen time they get. With the obvious exception of ''Romancing Mr Bridgerton'', the Featheringtons are side characters in most of the books, with Portia and Penelope (outside of Book 4) appearing at a handful of key moments to support the main couple's storylines. [[spoiler:Even Lady Whistledown just provides commentary and is not a plot until Book 4]]. The show Featheringtons are major characters with their own storyline from the pilot episode and throughout the first few seasons.
