-->-- '''Felicia Day''', ''WebVideo/CommentaryTheMusical''

Kathryn Felicia Day (born June 28, 1979 in Huntsville, Alabama) is an American actress, writer, gamer, independent filmmaker, and [[JustForFun/OneOfUs total nerd]].

On August 11, 2015, she released her memoir, ''You're Never Weird on The Internet (Almost)''. Much to her surprise, the book was a notable success, reaching #4 on the U.K. bestsellers list, and #3 on the ''New York Times'' bestseller list.

* Penny, fellow... laundry... person, in ''[[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Dr. Horrible]]''.

Felicia's best-known early television role was the Potential Slayer Vi on the final season of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', though this may have been eclipsed by her recurring guest role of Charlie Bradbury on ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. She's also known for her work in web series, appearing as Penny in Creator/JossWhedon's ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'', starring as Cyd "Codex" Sherman in the popular web series ''WebVideo/TheGuild'' (which she also created and wrote), and co-founding Creator/GeekAndSundry, which produces and publishes a wide variety of geeky web-videos.

** Due to this, she decided to [[PlayingAgainstTypeplay against type]] as [[spoiler:Henrietta Hudson]] in the finale of ''WebVideo/HeadlessASleepyHollowStory''. In an article for TVInsider about the role, she said, “I wanted to channel a badass woman and be the most competent in the room, also stretch myself from who I usually play, more quirky and comedic characters."

** During the 2008 Comic Con panel for Dr. Horrible, when asked a question, she said she hadn't heard because, "I'm twittering under here." She didn't recognize the DoubleEntendre [[https://youtu.be/CGEzRYUOEh8?t=50 until the audience laughed and Neil Patrick Harris had some fun at her expense.]] As she noted in You're Never Weird on The Internet (Almost)", Twitter wasn't all that well-known yet, so at least some portion of the audience probably had no idea what she was saying, just that it sounded dirty out of context.
** While reviewing her performance in Mark of the Assassin, she called it "Playing with herself" and while it was meant to be a deliberate DoubleEntendre, she couldn't stop [[{{Corpsing}} cracking up]] during delivery.

-->'''Felicia:''' I didn't mean that! Fuck you! Who would put "rub" there?! Have you -- in the history -- in the ''history'' of video games, have you ever seen --
-->'''Ryon:''' ''*laughing*'' Look, Creator/MiltonBradley was new at this, okay?

* TypeCasting: Her roles follow a similar archetype of being primarily Adorkable Badasses. For example? Ninety percent of the roles we list.

Kathryn Felicia Day (born June 28, 1979 in Huntsville, Alabama) is an American actress, gamer, independent filmmaker, and [[JustForFun/OneOfUs total nerd]]. Her best known early television role was the Potential Slayer Vi on the final season of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', though this may have been eclipsed by her recurring guest role of Charlie Bradbury in recent seasons of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''; she appeared as Penny in Creator/JossWhedon's ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' and starred as Cyd "Codex" Sherman in the popular web series ''WebVideo/TheGuild'' (which she also created and wrote). In addition to being an actress and writer, she's also extremely smart; she was a National Merit scholar, began college at 16, and double-majored in mathematics and music at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in the top 4% of her class. In 2012, she co-founded Creator/GeekAndSundry, which produces and publishes a wide variety of geeky web-videos.

Much to Felicia's surprise, the book was a notable success, reaching #4 on the U.K. bestsellers list, and #3 on the prestigious New York Times bestseller list.

On January 3, 2017, Felicia revealed a secret she'd kept for over ''thirty-seven weeks'' by posting a surprising announcement on Twitter: that she was pregnant with her first child. She gave birth on January 30, naming her daughter Calliope Maeve.
