Felicity was born on July 24, 1989, to Donna Smoak and Noah Kuttler in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was raised in the Jewish faith by her mother. In her early childhood, Felicity had a teddy bear named Mr. Square Bear, who was her favorite stuffed toy. However, she lost the bear when she was four, upsetting her. Since then, Donna refers to any upset and perplexed expression on Felicity's face as her "Mr. Square Bear face". From a young age, Felicity displayed a prodigious intellect and an innate interest in technology, just like her father, whom she idolized. When she was only seven years old, Felicity built her first supercomputer using parts stolen from Noah's electronics collection.
Felicity was always fearful of winding up with a difficult, unfulfilling lifestyle like her mother and thus worked hard to escape from her circumstances and create a better future for herself. Over the years, Felicity's relationship with her mother became strained due to their differences (which she later regretted); Felicity felt that Donna only cared about the former's physical appearance and social life, while paying no attention to her academic achievements and goals. As a result, she put most of her focus into her studies, barely acknowledging her mother.
Felicity attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She had an incident with a stalker lacrosse player in her freshman year.[17] Also, as a freshman, Felicity once accidentally ate a pot brownie with nuts. She subsequently came down with an allergic reaction and had to go to the hospital.During her senior year, Felicity dated fellow computer wiz Cooper Seldon. The two of them, along with Cooper's roommate Myron Forest, were members of a hacktivist group on campus and part of a cyber-goth subculture. The group would perform "civil disobedience via the World Wide Web", such as digitally defacing criminals, exposing government fraud, etc. Felicity would post her hacktivism on various web forums under the moniker โGhost Fox Goddessโ, eventually becoming an admired figure in the dark corners of the Internet. To coincide with her persona, she also personally adopted the goth look, dyeing her hair black and wearing dark leather clothes and makeup.With help from Cooper and Myron, Felicity created an x-axis bi-numeric algorithm, a "super virus" capable of giving her root access to any infected server. The virus was originally intended for noble purposes in hacktivism. One day, the trio decided to hack into the United States Department of Education for fun. When Cooper located an exploitable entry point, Felicity used her virus to successfully bring down the firewall for 30 seconds. However, Cooper attempted to go further by deleting all student loans, much to Myron and Felicity's shock. Felicity stopped him by pulling the plug, angering the latter. Cooper told her she could either be a โhacker or heroโ but not both.Later that day, Felicity and Cooper strolled around campus, with the former fielding an unwelcome call from her mother. Cooper was still angry with her for interrupting his plan, to which Felicity worriedly revealed that she was trying to protect him; since the sub-root directory of the DOE network was configured, Cooper accessing the financial accounts meant someone could backtrace his hack. Right as the couple made up, the F.B.I. arrived on campus to arrest Cooper and discovered Felicity's laptop - evidence of the DOE hack - in his backpack. Horrified, she tried to plead Cooper's innocence in vain as he was taken into custody.Felicity eventually decided to confess to the F.B.I. that she wrote the virus in order to free her boyfriend. While visiting Cooper in prison though, Felicity learned that he had already claimed sole accountability in both creating the virus and hacking the DOE, willingly taking the fall for her. She tried to protest this decision, but Cooper insisted it was the right thing to do since Felicity had no part in erasing the loans, leaving her helpless to do anything but accept his choice. Right before his sentencing, Cooper allegedly hung himself in his cell, much to Felicity's devastation.Heartbroken and depressed over her boyfriend's death, Felicity initially considered turning herself in, feeling responsible for what happened since Cooper used her virus to hack the DOE. However, Myron dissuaded her, pointing out that if Felicity goes to prison, then Cooper wouldโve died for nothing and advised her to instead take advantage of her second chance. Ultimately, Felicity decided to change her image and leave her hacktivist days behind. She dyed her hair blonde, started wearing glasses again, and overhauled her goth wardrobe with brighter, professional clothing. When Myron arrived at Felicity's dorm and saw her new look, he perplexedly wondered what happened to her. Felicity simply replied, "this is [her] now".Heartbroken and depressed over her boyfriend's death, Felicity initially considered turning herself in, feeling responsible for what happened since Cooper used her virus to hack the DOE.

Felicity graduated summa cum laude from MIT in 2009 with a Master of Science in Computer Sciences and Cyber Security, specializing in virus creation. Afterwards, she moved to Starling City to work at Queen Consolidated in I.T. support, despite being vastly overqualified for such a position, determined to lead a normal life. Felicity initially refused to use her technological skills or become dependent on anyone else again after her college experiences.
One night, Felicity left work late and got into her car. After hearing groaning in the backseat, she turned around to find a gunshot-wounded Hood, who revealed himself as none other than Oliver, much to Felicity's shock. Oliver instructed her to take him to Queen Industrial Inc. in the Glades, which she did, despite protesting that he "needs a doctor, not a steel worker". When Felicity arrived at the factory, she thoroughly startled Diggle upon showing up in the Arrowcave, asking for his help carrying Oliver in. Despite her fear of the situation, Felicity helped Diggle operate on Oliver and they managed to successfully remove the bullet from his chest. In the process, Felicity also fixed a defibrillator machine they were using.
While Oliver was recovering, John commented on her handling of the revelation The Hood's identity, to which Felicity revealed she was already suspicious from the horrible cover stories they told her for the favors Oliver asked. Felicity also learned that the "energy drink" vial given to her was Vertigo, which helped Oliver and Diggle take down The Count. After learning how much she has helped already, Felicity agreed to help Oliver in his mission on a provisional basis until Walter was found. She has been working with him ever since. (More to come)
