In the 1999 movie "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me", what is the first name of the U.S. operative?

The story behind the answer

In "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me", the U.S. operative’s first name is Felicity. Felicity Shagwell is a CIA agent played by Heather Graham, and she becomes Austin Powers’s partner after Vanessa Kensington is revealed to be a fembot.

Felicity is introduced as a capable, highly trained operative who helps Austin recover his stolen mojo. Her character deliberately contrasts with Austin’s flamboyant 1960s spy persona: she is more practical, mission-focused and skeptical of his absurd behavior, while still participating in the film’s exaggerated sexual humor and spy-movie parody.

The full character name, Felicity Shagwell, is one of the movie’s many deliberately ridiculous puns. The film spoofs the glamorous female agents and romantic partners common in James Bond-style adventures, but gives Felicity an active role in the mission rather than making her merely a side character. The movie was released in 1999 and is the second film in the Austin Powers series.
