The history books may know Betsy Ross as the first creator of the original American flag (though she was actually one of a several), but in the Sleepy Hollow world, Ross was one of George Washington’s many spies.

Nikki Reed (Twilight) stops by Season 3 of Sleepy Hollow as Ross, an “intelligent, spunky, multifaceted woman” who also happens to be one of Ichabod’s former girlfriends (who he mentioned in passing last season).
