!!Tropes associated with her work:

* ActingForTwo:[[invoked]] In Season 5 of ''{{Series/Angel}}'', she plays both Fred and the demon Illyria.
* ActorInspiredElement:[[invoked]] Dr Saunders of ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'' was first conceived as an older man. The part was rewritten so that Amy could play it. [[spoiler: Then they ended up revealing Amy was really playing a doll imprinted with the original Dr Saunders personality after he was killed]].
* CareerResurrection:[[invoked]] After the cancellation of ''{{Series/Angel}}'' and ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'', she mainly showed up in guest star roles on other TV shows - as well as taking time off to raise her children. ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' helped bring her back into prominence.
* HotScientist: She's often cast as one.
* {{Meganekko}}: Fred was presented as TheCutie because of her glasses. Amy wore her own ones for the role.
* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]]
** In an episode of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', she plays a snarky GranolaGirl.
** Illyria counts too as a radical departure from the cute nerdy Fred.
* ProductionPosse:[[invoked]] She's appeared in three Joss Whedon projects - ''{{Series/Angel}}'', ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'' and ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods''.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: In ''{{Series/Alias}}'' Season 5.
* ThrowItIn:[[invoked]] In ''Series/PersonOfInterest'', the writers noted her chemistry with Sarah Shahi and decided to play up the sexual tension between their characters.
* TypeCasting:[[invoked]] She tends to end up as an {{Adorkable}} CuteClumsyGirl.

The list on a creator page is only for items that have nowhere else to go. Items for Angel, Person Of Interest, Holby City, Casualty, Dollhouse, The Cabin In The Woods, and Alias go on their own pages.


* ActorSharedBackground: [[invoked]] Both Amy and Fred are from Texas, as is Samantha Groves, aka Root.
* {{Adorkable}}: It's not a mystery where Fred got it from.
* TheCameo: Made two voiceless uncredited cameos in ''Series/HolbyCity'' and one in ''Casualty'' (uncredited), presumably as [[Series/PersonOfInterest Samantha Groves aka Root]].
* HotScientist: She played one in 3 of Creator/JossWhedon's works- ''Series/{{Angel}}'', ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'', and ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods''.
* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: [[invoked]] Plays the incredibly psychotic and FauxAffablyEvil hacker Root on ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' and [[ManipulativeBitch Manipulative]] BitchInSheepsClothing Kelly Peyton in ''Series/{{Alias}}''. Off screen, she's epitomizes the GenkiGirl trope and is extremely charming in interviews.
