# Early Life

## Childhood

Felicity Megan Smoak was born on July 24, 1374, in Las Vegas, Nevada. She had a somewhat unconventional childhood. Her parents, Donna Smoak and Noah Kuttler encouraged Felicity's curiosity from an early age and fostered an environment that nurtured her intellectual abilities. However, Felicity's parents divorced when she was young, leading to some instability in her upbringing. Despite the challenges, Felicity remained a bright and ambitious child, always eager to learn and explore new horizons.

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, in 1381, Felicity built her first supercomputer using parts stolen from Noah's electronics collection

As a child, Felicity demonstrated an insatiable appetite for knowledge and a natural aptitude for problem-solving. Her inquisitive mind led her to explore various academic pursuits and delve into subjects that piqued her interest, often immersing herself in books, puzzles, and technology.

Her mother,  Donna, instilled in her a strong sense of compassion, empathy, and a belief in the power of kindness. Her father, Noah, a talented but troubled individual, struggled with personal demons that often left Felicity feeling uncertain and disconnected, who left them to avoid going to prison.

She was then raised solely by  Donna, who worked long hours as a cocktail waitress to support them. While Felicity didn't remember Noah a lot, his absence from her life left a deep impact; growing up, Felicity struggled with intense self-loathing and abandonment issues, wondering if she somehow made her father leave and if anyone could truly love her.

As a child, Felicity wanted to be an astronaut and once begged her  mother to let her go to Space Camp for the summer. However,  Donna refused, claiming she couldn't bear the thought of sending her daughter away for so long.

Throughout her childhood, Felicity's passion for technology and computer science flourished. She spent countless hours immersed in coding, hacking, and exploring the intricacies of the digital world. Her exceptional skills in these areas became her refuge, offering a sense of purpose and a means of self-expression. She loved the arcade game *Maximum Force*

Due to her  mother’s job, Felicity spent a lot of time in casinos, gaining intimate knowledge on how they worked. Subsequently, she become an excellent card counter and has successfully gotten away with winning money through this method several times

When Felicity was 5, she decided she absolutely loved panda bears, and hated kangaroos (because they looked evil) - and kept firm to those opinions her entire life.

## High School

In high school, Felicity's exceptional intellect became increasingly apparent. She excelled in her studies, consistently achieving top grades in a variety of subjects. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge led her to embrace challenging courses, including advanced mathematics, computer science, and physics. Felicity's teachers recognized her exceptional abilities and often sought to nurture her talents, providing her with opportunities for further exploration and growth.

In high school, Felicity was Nevada's three-time state Mathletics champion (she intended it to be four, but freshmen weren't allowed to compete).

She considered becoming a dental hygienist before deciding to work with computers

While her academic pursuits were a priority, Felicity also found herself navigating the social dynamics of high school. As a gifted student, she sometimes felt like an outsider, struggling to connect with her peers on a deeper level. Her quirkiness and intellectual interests set her apart, leading to moments of feeling misunderstood or isolated.

During her high school years, Felicity's love for technology began to flourish. She immersed herself in the world of computers, honing her programming skills and exploring the endless possibilities that technology offered. Late nights spent tinkering with hardware and writing lines of code became a regular occurrence, as Felicity found solace and excitement in the realm of digital innovation.

Felicity discovered a passion for using her technological prowess to make a positive impact, whether it was helping others with their computer troubles or uncovering hidden truths through her hacking skills.

## University

After completing high school, Felicity earned a scholarship to attend MIT, where she pursued a degree in computer science and mathematics. In 1393, when Felicity was 19, she was ranked 2nd in the National Information Technology Competition Her time at MIT further honed her exceptional skills in hacking, coding, and cyber-security.

#### Hacktivism

She spent time as a hacktivist, driven by her passion for using technology to bring about positive change. Inspired by the idea of using her skills for a greater purpose, Felicity became involved in the world of hacktivism—an activist movement that utilized hacking techniques to challenge oppressive systems and advocate for social justice.
Felicity's involvement in hacktivism began when she joined a group of like-minded individuals who shared her belief in the power of technology as a force for change. Together, they took on various projects that aimed to expose corruption, defend civil liberties, and shed light on social issues.
With her exceptional hacking abilities and knack for uncovering hidden truths, Felicity quickly gained recognition within the hacktivist community.

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 “Ghost Fox Goddess”, 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 Seldon and Myron Forest, 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 “hacker or hero” but not both.

#### Cooper's Arrest and Death

The FBI 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 FBI 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 would’ve 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.

#### Graduation

Felicity graduated summa cum laude from MIT in 1394 with a Master of Science in Computer Sciences and Cyber Security, specializing in virus creation. Afterwards, she moved to Washington, DC 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.
While Felicity eventually shifted her focus to more lawful and sanctioned cybersecurity work, her experiences as a hacktivist continued to inform her approach.
