163	!!Tropes associated with Brittney Karbowski’s roles:
164	* CrossdressingVoices: Notably as [[Manga/SoulEater Black Star]] and [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Selim Bradley.]]
165	** Black Star was also her very first male role and admitted at a panel that this was unintentional, because she was just mocking her little brother's voice at the audition and didn't expect the director to take it seriously.
166	* CuteButCacophonic: A lot of her young girl roles will have this pitch, [[Manga/FairyTail Wendy]] being the best example.
167	* GenkiGirl: Often plays these types of characters whenever she's not playing teenage {{Tsundere}}s. [[Anime/PaniPoniDash Himeko]] and [[Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions Sanae Dekomori]] are perfect examples.
168	* GirlishPigtails: A lot of the characters she voices tend to spot twintails. [[Manga/FairyTail Wendy]] and [[Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions Sanae Dekomori]] are noticeable examples.
169	* PigeonholedVoiceActor: Most of the characters she voices happen to be young teenage girls with [[{{Tsundere}} a short temper]] or have a large ego. However, she's also typecast into TokenMiniMoe (particularly [[Creator/SentaiFilmworks when she works in Houston]]).
170	* PlayingAgainstType: While she's quite well known for her tsundere or TokenMiniMoe in terms of ''Creator/SentaiFilmworks'' dubs, Migi from ''Manga/{{Parasyte}}'' is an amoral BlueAndOrangeMorality alien parasyte living within someone's right hand.
171	** There is also [[Manga/SoulEater Black Star]], which is one of her first male roles she voiced.
172	** [[Literature/{{Gate}} LeLei]] is basically a ReiAyanamiExpy.
173	** [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Misaka Worst]], who is the AxCrazy EvilTwin of the Misaka clones.
174	* StarMakingRole: As Himeko in ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' (specifically for Houston based dubbing), and as both Sia from ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'' and Black Star from ''Manga/SoulEater'' (for Creator/{{Funimation}} based dubs).
175	* {{Tsundere}}: She does have tsundere roles to boot. Examples include [[Anime/AngelBeats Yuri]], [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Misaka]], [[Literature/IsThisAZombie Yoshida]], [[Literature/InfiniteStratos Cecilia]], and [[VisualNovel/LittleBusters Rin]].
176	* TokenMiniMoe: Pre-teen and toddler girls aren't exactly her main forte, but have been recently getting a few. Some examples include [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Last Order]], [[Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead Alice]], [[Anime/TamakoMarket Anko]], [[Literature/{{MM}} Noa]], [[Manga/FairyTail Wendy]], [[Literature/MagicalWarfare Futaba Ida]], [[Literature/TheAmbitionOfOdaNobuna Takenaka Hanbei]], and [[Anime/BattleGirlsTimeParadox Yoshino Hide]].
177	** In fact, three of her these roles [[note]][[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Last Order]], [[Anime/TamakoMarket Anko]], and [[Anime/BattleGirlsTimeParadox Yoshino Hide]][[/note]] were shared by Creator/RinaHidaka, a Japanese voice actress who is also known to voice these kinds of characters.
178	* WomanOfAThousandVoices: Despite often being pigeonholed as Tsundere characters, she has played a few other characters with a few different ranges of voice acting, from [[GenkiGirl energetic genki girls]] like [[Anime/PaniPoniDash Himeko Katagiri]], to [[CrossdressingVoices aggressive boys]] such as [[Manga/SoulEater Black Star]], to an EmotionlessGirl, Ikaros in ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'', to voicing higher pitched voiced characters like [[Manga/FairyTail Wendy]] and [[Anime/AKB0048 Orine Aida]], to even voicing a British character, Cecilia Alcott, in ''Literature/InfiniteStratos''.
