Polly Merriman is the baby sister of Felicity Merriman. Polly is described as a rosy baby with sky-blue eyes and hair as orange as carrots. Polly was often a nickname for Mary or Dorothea during the era, referencing the respective nicknames Molly and Dolly. However, similar to the future first lady Dolley Madison, it is quite likely that Polly is her full first name, as she was so named by Felicity after Rose says she was almost born in the water like a polliwog.
Polly is first mentioned technically in Felicity Saves the Day, when it is revealed that Martha Merriman is due to have a baby come the winter of 1775. She is born during the events of Felicity's New Sister and in the Central Series first appears roughly a month after her birth in Changes for Felicity.
