She's also known for her work in web series, appearing as Penny in Creator/JossWhedon's ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog'', 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.

Her second book, ''Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity'', was published on October 1, 2019.

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

43	----
44	!!Tropes:
45	* AsHerself Appeared in a ''WebVideo/DoorMonster'' sketch as, who else? Herself.
46	* TheCastShowOff: In her appearance in an episode of ''Series/LieToMe''. She's also shown playing violin in a second-season episode of ''WebVideo/TheGuild''.
47	* CuteKitten: She has been known to post links to kitty pics on her Twitter quite frequently.
48	* GamerChick: Her two-year addiction to ''World of Warcraft'' was what inspired her to create ''The Guild''. Since ''Geek & Sundry'' launched (and even moreso since her daughter was born) she doesn't have as much time to play anymore, but every time a new A-list RPG comes out, her Twitter feed fairly explodes with anticipation. And in May 2017, she revealed she's playing Cynder the dragoness, who originated in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'' games and is migrating to a new TV series.
49	* GenkiGirl: The vast majority of her roles.
50	* InkSuitActor: As GuestStarPartyMember Tallis in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' DLC.
51	* TheOtherDarrin: Her role as [[WesternAnimation/SkylandersAcademy Cynder]] means that she's the character's fifth voice actress. Preceding her were Creator/CreeSummer, Creator/MaeWhitman, Creator/ChristinaRicci (all in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'' games), and Tobie [=LaSalandra=] (for the ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' games).
52	* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]:
53	** Her role as Tallis in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' was a promotion for her, having been a Creator/BioWare fan for years.
54	** In-universe, ''WebVideo/TheGuild'' has her character Codex actually become employed by the creator of "The Game".
55	* {{Squee}}: Her response to discovering the website zooborns.com in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y--eKkMYlM this episode]] of the Flog.
56	* ThatCameOutWrong:
57	** During a ''Flog'' segment where she was learning how to crochet, Felicia made the opening in the item she was crafting too small.
58	---> "Whoa, I'm getting so narrow, I can't even keep my finger in here. realizes what she says and begins to lose it ''That was not meant to be dirty''!"
59	** 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.
60	** While reviewing her performance in Mark of the Assassin, she called it "Playing with herself"; while it was meant to be a deliberate DoubleEntendre, she couldn't stop [[{{Corpsing}} cracking up]] during delivery.
61	** While doing [[https://youtu.be/YNLpISAFmyM?t=686 a Lets Play of Marble Madness]] with her brother Ryon, Ryon misspelled the player name he was trying to type and had to erase some letters. Except in Marble Madness the erase button is labeled "RUB". Felicia then advised her brother to "Rub it out". Cue a spit-take by Felicia and a giggling fit from Ryon.
62	--->'''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 --
63	--->'''Ryon:''' ''laughing'' Look, Creator/MiltonBradley was new at this, okay?
64	* ToiletHumor: The woman LOVES fart jokes.
65	** Case in point: She uploaded a [=YouTube=] video called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sbs7rSoWp4 Felicia Makes Fart Sounds with Her Mouth]]. It's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
66	** Another case in point: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG1fNGITN08 This]] episode of ''The Flog.'' Theremins make fart sounds, which Felicia milks for all it's worth.
67	** In ''Co-optitude'', a Creator/GeekAndSundry show where she plays retro games with her brother Ryon, they quickly developed the habit of naming their characters (when they could) Anuss (with a double "s") and Poopiez.
68	* TypeCasting: Her roles follow a similar archetype of being primarily adorkable badasses. For example? Ninety percent of the roles we list.
69	** Due to this, she decided to [[PlayingAgainstType play 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."
