Ruff has a wide voice range, going from {{emotionless|Girl}} like Yuki to HotBlooded like Yoko to [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} ditzy and happy]] like Tsukasa. Her characters are mostly badass babes (or just hot babes in general, like Fujiko Mine in ''Lupin III''). |

148 | !!Tropes associated with Michelle Ruff: |
149 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: What her best well known roles fall into. |
150 | * PigeonholedVoiceActor: A lot of her characters are usually deep-voiced badass or hot chicks such as [[Franchise/StreetFighter Crimson Viper]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Rukia]], [[VideoGame/{{Neptunia}} Nisa]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko]], [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Etna]]. Also, as mentioned above, most of her characters are {{deuteragonist}}s or minor characters and rarely receive lead roles. |
151 | * PlayingAgainstType: As the sweet, aproachable, and childlike [[Manga/GirlsBravo Miharu]], and the [[ShrinkingViolet timid]], [[BreakTheCutie sad]], [[LovableCoward easily frightened]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Noire]]. |
152 | * WomanOfAThousandVoices: How can we not forget this? She is not only capable of a deep voice, but also softer tone for {{The Quiet One}}s like [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]] and [[Literature/{{Durarara}} Anri]]. Or doing a higher-pitch voice for more younger characters like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Cream the Rabbit]] and [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten Desco]]; and even [[VideoGame/BlazBlue young boys]]. |
