Written by Creator J. on Creators.co

Felicity Smoak has been an important part of Oliver Queen’s journey since the beginning of the show. What was supposed to be a one-shot character became a compelling, multi-dimensional and strong female character in the DC Universe. From what we learned about her background, Felicity has been affected by being constantly let down by different men in her life and suffers from abandonment issues. It has been portrayed with the resurrection of her ex-boyfriend Cooper and the pain caused by her father who left her and Donna at a young age. She is smart, witty , not afraid to speak up and a great feminist model on television. Throughout the seasons, it has been emphasized in her personality that it is important for her to be included in a decision making process when it directly concerns her.
