A bit about the plot of the series
We remind you that Felicity is one of the central heroines of the Strela series. The series is about the life of millionaire Oliver Queen. For a long time, the guy was engaged only in having fun and spending money. Landmarks in Oliver's life shifted only after a tragic event for him - Quinn got to a desert island after a shipwreck. Five years the guy was considered dead and found him by accident. Returning home, he decided to continue the work of life of his deceased father. Under the pseudonym Strela, Oliver began to pursue criminals that the police could not handle.
Features of the heroine
Thanks to actress Felicity Smoke, the audience liked it so much. The performer of the role, Emily Bett Rickards, was able to successfully combine all the character traits of the girl, which are quite difficult to combine together. Felicity is a real computer genius. She can crack everything, it is impossible to hide any information from the girl. At the same time, when Smoke has to intersect with other people, she is not very confident. Due to the awkwardness, Felicity begins to stupidly joke, speak ambiguous phrases, then make excuses and, of course, apologize. From the outside, it looks pretty nice, considering that Smoke is a real computer genius.
Also, the girl does not like to get into trouble and avoids them in every possible way, but from time to time curiosity can get the better of this character trait. This happened when the girl came across a list of names of people that Strela was hunting for. No dangers and warnings could stop the girl. Felicity is sure that she must solve a new riddle.
Not much is known about the girl’s family, but Felicity Smoke’s mom appears in the series. Actress Charlotte Ross and introduced the audience to this heroine. Donna raised her daughter alone, so she was very upset when the girl became similar in character and worldview to her father.
