Felicia Day was born in Huntsville, Alabama. She was home-schooled all her life and got her first acting role as Scout in the Huntsville Little Theatre production of "To Kill a Mockingbird." She moved frequently as a child because her father was in the Air Force, mostly living in the South.

Felicia started college at 16, majoring in violin performance, and then in mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. During college she continued to participate in theatrical productions on and off campus.
After graduation, Felicia moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting as a career. She has been on television shows such as "Windfall", "Strong Medicine", "Monk", "Love Inc.", and most notably had a recurring role as Potential slayer Vi on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."  She has been in such films as "Bring it on Again", "June" and most recently the Emmy award-winning "Warm Springs", with Kenneth Branagh.

Her hobbies include video games, reading (particularly science fiction/fantasy), writing and performing sketch comedy and improv comedy. Her latest obsessions are studying the Chinese language and learning Web Design.
