'''Felicity Smoak''', also known by her code name '''Overwatch''', is a [[Character (Arts)|fictional character]] in [[The CW (Television Network)|The CW]]'s [[Arrowverse]] franchise. The character was first introduced in 2012 in the first season of the television series ''[[Arrow (TV Series)|Arrow]]'', which is based on the [[DC Comics]] character [[Green Arrow]]. The series follows the story of billionaire [[Oliver Queen (Arrowverse)|Oliver Queen]], who returns home after five years supposedly stranded on a remote Pacific island and becomes a vigilante on a quest to save his city. Felicity is based on the comic character [[Felicity Smoak|of the same name]], created by [[Gerry Conway]] and [[Rafael Kayanan]] and was adapted for television by [[Greg Berlanti]], [[Marc Guggenheim]] and [[Andrew Kreisberg]]. Felicity was portrayed by Canadian actress [[Emily Bett Rickards]] between 2012 and 2020. Initially cast as a one-episode guest star in the [[Arrow (Season 1)|first season]] of ''Arrow'', she returned as a recurring character in the same season, and was promoted to series regular from season [[Arrow (Season 2)|two]]. Rickards stepped away from the show at the end of [[Arrow (Season 7)|season seven]], but is scheduled to return in a guest capacity for the finale of ''Arrow''{{'}}s [[Arrow (Season 8)|eighth and final season]]. She has also featured in the spin-off shows ''[[The Flash (2014 TV Series)|The Flash]]'', ''[[Legends of Tomorrow (TV Series)|Legends of Tomorrow]]'' and web series ''[[Vixen (Web Series)|Vixen]]'', as well as appearing in ''[[Supergirl (TV Series)|Supergirl]]''. The character appears in the ''[[Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham]]'' video game as part of the ''Arrow'' [[Downloadable Content|DLC pack]], and is one of the protagonists of the ''Arrow'' and ''The Flash'' tie-in novels and comics.

Introduced as having a genius level intellect, with a penchant for inappropriate commentary, Felicity debuted in the third episode of ''Arrow's'' first season as an employee of Queen Consolidated, working in the IT department. She is recommended to Oliver Queen by his stepfather/CEO of the company [[Walter Steele (Arrowverse)|Walter Steele]], to assist him with an IT issue. She later joins Oliver in his crusade becoming one of the founding members of "Team Arrow", alongside [[John Diggle (Arrowverse)|John Diggle]], and goes on to adopt the moniker "Overwatch". She becomes CEO of Palmer Technologies and subsequently founds her own company, Smoak Tech. Her relationship with Oliver develops into a romantic one, leading to their marriage and to her becoming stepmother to his son, [[William Clayton (Arrowverse)|William]], and later mother to their daughter, [[Mia Smoak|Mia]].

Often cited as a positive representation of women in [[Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics|STEM]], Felicity has been described as ''Arrow's'' "fan favorite" or "breakout" character and has received a generally positive response from critics, with particular praise for Rickards' performance. Critics have described her as an important part of ''Arrow''{{'}}s success, although at times some expressed concerns that her character became too prominent on the show. In 2016 she was voted number fifteen on a list of "50 Favorite Female Characters", in a poll of Hollywood professionals conducted by ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]''.
