!!Tropes relating to her work:
* AbilityOverAppearance:[[invoked]]
** Says she was surprised that she was cast as Robb Stark's love interest - feeling sure that the producers wanted a white EnglishRose sort. The show runners were inspired to change the character from Jeyne - a Westerosi - to Talisa - a Volantene - to explain her darker features.
** It was a similar case with ''Series/TheHour''. They wanted a white actress but she was told "you're not an EnglishRose but you can do this."
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Claims she was once told by a drunk casting director that she was "miscellaneously ethnic". She is part English, Chilean, Spanish, Romanian and a little bit of Argentinian.
* {{Corpsing}}: A variation. When filming the infamous Red Wedding [[spoiler: Oona opted to die with her eyes open, but because of the emotional nature of the scene, everyone on set was crying. So the director had to call cut more than once to tell Oona to stop crying, since she was meant to be a corpse]].
* FakeBrit:[[invoked]] She's put on a flawless English accent for ''Series/TheHour'', ''{{Series/Sherlock}}'', ''Series/BlackMirror'' and ''Series/GameOfThrones'' (which isn't set in England but everyone uses those accents anyway).
* {{Improvisation}}: Her film ''Realive'' was based on a lot of improvisation from her.
* MsFanservice: In a few music videos she did in Spain.
* RealLifeRelative:[[invoked]] Her mother Geraldine stars with her in the film ''Anchor & Hope''.
* ThoseTwoActors:[[invoked]] Has starred with good friend Natalia Tena in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and ''Anchor & Hope'', and also in her music video for "Neon Lights" (as part of Natalia's band Molotov Jukebox).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]] She was going to play Jeyne Westerling from the books on ''Series/GameOfThrones'', but for whatever reason the show runners changed the character to a healer from Volantis who has a more straightforward love story with Robb Stark (as opposed to the ShotgunWedding in the book). George RR Martin then had them rename the character Talisa instead.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: She has quite the blend of English, American and Spanish in her natural voice - which is to be expected, given her varied background. She has lived in Spain, Cuba, America and Scotland.
