200	!!Kira Buckland's roles provide examples of:
201	%%As with all Creator/ pages, trivia tropes about the creator specifically are to be posted here, not a Trivia/ page, as they technically are InUniverse in the case of the person's career.
202	%%However: As with all Creator/ pages, items that could go on a specific work's trivia page go there, not here.
203	* CastingGag: She voices two [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba pink-haired]] characters affiliated with [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart love]].
204	* GenkiGirl: A large number of her characters in anime, video games and web animation are energetic.
205	* PlayingAgainstType:
206	** [[Manga/BlueExorcist Izumo]] is more of {{Tsundere}} IceQueen who serves as a [[RedOniBlueOni blue oni]] to many characters.
207	** [[Literature/AccelWorld Kuroyukihime]] has a much more serious personality in contrast to the other characters she voiced.
208	** She's also earned another niche of fans for voicing [[TheBully Vriska]] in a number of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' comic dubs.
209	** [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Hiyoko Saionji]], a strong case of FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon, may be one of her meanest characters yet.
210	** ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'''s Edna has an apathetic and taciturn personality.
211	** In the third season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', ''S'', she plays Mimete, one of the villains of that season.
212	** Her role as Umi from ''Franchise/LoveLive'' has her doing a somewhat more mature voice (similar to either the Sadist or Graceful forms of Chou-Chou) than what she typically plays as.
213	** Her role as [[Characters/HunterXHunterOtherCharacters Zushi]] is one of the first times she voiced a young boy.
214	** [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]] is another one, being a stoic, emotionless android. Ironically, this is her StarMakingRole among video game fans. (see below)
215	* PromotedFanboy:
216	** She's a big fan of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', frequently cosplaying as Part 6's protagonist Jolyne Cujoh, and runs ''[=JoJo=]'' panels at local conventions. She eventually got a voice-acting role in the series as the voice of Reimi Sugimoto in ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', which graduated into landing the starring role as Jolyne herself for the dub of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]''. Amusingly and appropriately enough, [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1231728-nier-automata one artist]] made a picture of [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]] (who is also voiced by her) paying homage to ''[=JoJo=]'' [[ApprovalOfGod which Kira absolutely loved]].
217	** She has said several times that voice actress Jessica Straus is a huge inspiration to her. In return, Jessica has said she was impressed with Kira's voice work and skill after seeing her perform a parody of Music/{{Kesha}}'s song "Tik Tok" as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Juri Han]], a character Jessica voices. They eventually met for the first time while recording for ''Literature/AccelWorld'' and they even follow each other on Twitter.
218	** Hell, she was even one of the people who trolled [[Radio/TrueCapitalist Ghost]] back during TCR's original run!
219	** She refers to ''{{Manga/Inuyasha}}'' as one of the animes that got her into voice acting. Now she officially voices Setsuna in ''Anime/YashahimePrincessHalfDemon''.
220	* StarMakingRole:
221	** While she's highly recognizable within the Platform/{{Newgrounds}} community, her roles as [[Manga/BlueExorcist Izumo Kamiki]], [[Anime/LagrangeTheFlowerOfRinne Madoka]], [[VideoGame/MugenSouls Chou Chou]], helped grant her some recognition among the anime fans.
222	** [[Literature/AccelWorld Kuroyukihime]] propelled her to fame among the anime fanbase.
223	** Her performance as [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]] gained her quite a bit of recognition from video game fans.
224	* {{Typecasting}}:
225	** She's known for playing young girls, particularly hyper and/or crazy ones.
226	** Pink-haired girls are so common in her filmography that she often jokes about it on her Twitter account.
227	** With her PlayingAgainstType as [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Hiyoko Saionji]], this led her to another forte, CuteAndPsycho girls, even borderline {{Yandere}}. And then, of course, there's [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]], the role that [[StarMakingRole singlehandedly proved she was an actress with great range]].
228	* WomanOfAThousandVoices: If voicing '''all''' of Chou Chou's personalities is any indicator.
229	** During her peak in the Brony fandom, she was pretty much considered the Mel Blanc of MLP fan [=VAs=], as she could voice pretty much any female character from the show pretty well.
