Felicity Smoak

"It feels really good having you inside me. And by you I mean your voice, and by me I mean my ear. I'm gonna stop talking. Right now."

- Felicity to Oliver Queen

Felicity Megan Smoak is the personal assistant and good friend of Oliver Queen, and a good friend of Walter Steele, and John Diggle, (the latter whom she is also partners with). She is very smart and great with electronics, which is why she is asked for help by both Walter Steele and Oliver.

Walter was her boss, and he asked her to look into some suspicious things happening with his money and business. After she finds evidence, she is asked not to look any further by Walter because he doesn't want to put her into any danger.

She continues to dig anyway, and after he is kidnapped, she confides his copy of the list with Oliver.

Oliver asked Felicity to help him with a few jobs, with bad cover stories to hide his identity. After Oliver is shot, he hides in her car and asked her to drive him to his warehouse instead of a hospital. After saving his life, she agrees to join his team, but only until they find Walter. Even on his team, Felicity doesn't agree with his methods to get the criminals. She starts to loosen up after she helps capture a villain and knows that what he does isn't all bad. Unfortunately in a later episode she couldn't lock a location on a criminal, and a man dies for it. She begins to lose faith in herself until it is revealed that he was on a train underground. She has gone out on the "field" twice. First at a casino, and second as a delivery girl for Big Belly Burger.

Personality
Felicity is shown to be very intelligent, but is also socially awkward. She is confident in her abilities, but is always insecure about her position in the company. Despite being content with being just a mere geek and not looking for trouble, Felicity is not one to back away from danger, when there is a curiosity waiting to be sated. This is shown when Walter asks her to look into the Queen's Gambit's recovery and warns her that the last man who went looking, ended up dead, she accepts the task unfazed, saying that mysteries like these bug her. Despite Oliver often asking for her help in investigations of dubious and dangerous nature, among them being looking into a laptop riddled with bullet holes and a syringe containing drugs, using unconvincing lies while he is at it, she persists.

Despite being very poor in wording her thoughts, she talks a lot and often has strong opinions on things. She is also a kind person, exhibited when she rushes Oliver to the Arrowcave and aids John in patching him up, instead of alerting the authorities. Felicity and John stayed at his side until he awoke. She also offers her help in locating Walter, out of compassion and loyalty. True to her geeky nature, she upgrades The Arrow's computers, stating that seeing a poorly set up system like his bugged her. She also hacked into the crime lab's computers and ordered the blood sample of The Arrow, collected by the police when he was shot, disposed of to help Oliver cover his tracks.

While at first, she didn't approve of Oliver's methods, but the two ultimately came to an understanding after stopping The Savior. Even though both Oliver and Diggle refuse at times, Felicity has proven herself to be very brave in dangerous situations, as she went undercover in a Mob Casino, disguised herself as a delivery girl and played the 'victim' to catch a serial killer, all to help them take down the criminals in the end.

She is afraid of heights, and she sometimes gets nervous and babbles, especially when around Oliver. Based on this and other actions, it's very likely that she has feelings for Oliver.

Abilities

 * Genius-level intellect: Felicity is an intellectual whizzkid, as evidenced by the crucial role she plays in The Arrow's team as well as her enviable skillset in tasks such as information retrieval, computer software and technology and the creation of customised techno devices, among other things. She determined Oliver's alternate identity expeditiously from a few random requests for help on cases ultimately connected to The Arrow, but did not expose his secret identity.
 * Computer expert: Being a member of the Queen Consolidated's IT department, Felicity has proven herself to be a highly skilled computer expert. She was able to recover valuable information, such as the blueprints of the exchange building where the Unidac Industries auction was being held, from Floyd Lawton's damaged laptop, despite the fact that it had sustained bullet holes. She was able to uncover that a teflon-coated titanium blade arrow was registered to a company called Sagittarius, as well as where and when it had been purchased from the company's records, and where the shipment was delivered. She analyzed a sample of the drug named Vertigo, and was able to source its manufacturing location in the city. She uses the computers from the Arrowcave, to locate people Oliver has a problem finding on his own.
 * Expert computer hacker: Felicity Smoak proved to be a highly skilled computer hacker, capable of hacking into any computer system, which made her a valuable asset to The Arrow's team. She was able to hack into the crime lab computers of the SCPD and order the disposal of Oliver's blood which had been lifted from a crime scene for analysis, risking exposure of Oliver's secret identity. She also managed to hack into A.R.G.U.S.'s databanks, and found out Deadshot had return to Starling City. The only computer system which proved invulnerable to her skills, was that of Merlyn Global Group, but this was remedied by a personal visit to their building and direct access to their mainframe, with the help of Oliver and John. She then proceeded to download the entire schematics from the Markov Device, and planted a Trojan in the system, so they would know what Malcolm was up to. She is more than able to bypass most firewalls.
