Not coincidentally, Arrow found its groove once Felicity became a consistent presence. Despite being one of the few major characters without a superhero identity, she never feels left out. She’s the brains of Team Arrow as well as its heart. Her hacking skills prove invaluable time and again. Besides, her sunny sincerity is a necessary and refreshing contrast to Oliver’s brooding intensity. She may not be able to fire an arrow with pinpoint accuracy or win a duel in hand-to-hand combat, but she refuses to be daunted by the comic-book theatrics around her. She’s always ready with a deadly quip or pump-up speech.
Admittedly, the show hasn’t always known what to do with Felicity since making her romantic relationship with Oliver official. Too often, Arrow resorts to melodrama. But to the credit of the writers and Bett Rickards, being a love interest hasn’t denied Felicity her personality or agency. She’s tough and vulnerable, confident and insecure, funny and emotional. She doesn’t hesitate to argue with Oliver, making it clear that she won’t compromise her desires and ideals to fit his, but you also understand why she sticks by him in the end. After all, beneath her bubbly demeanor, Felicity has her own dark side – regrets, fears, and insecurities that help make her the compassionate, brilliant person she is (see especially the episode “A.W.O.L.”).
