185----
186!!'''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening I challenge these tropes!]]'''
187* ActionGirl: A majority of the characters she voices fall into this. Just a few examples would be [[VideoGame/BloodRayne Rayne]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]], Natasha Romanov a.k.a. ComicBook/BlackWidow, [[VideoGame/MiddleearthShadowOfWar Eltariel, the Blade of Galadriel]], [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nadine Ross]], and [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII Abby Anderson]].
188* AnimeChineseGirl: She voiced many characters in video game and anime who happen to be Chinese. Across from the iconic Chun-Li, she also voiced Faye Lee, Pao-Lin Huang, and Xing Huo.
189* AwesomeDearBoy: She revealed that one of her favorite characters to voice is Tohru Honda from Fruit Basket.
190* CrossdressingVoices: Notably as [[Manga/CrayonShinChan Shin]] and [[Anime/DragonBallZ Kid Trunks]]. Subverted with [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Marth (who is actually Chrom's future daughter, Lucina)]]]].
191* DeadpanSnarker: Many of her characters are quite sardonic. Namely, [[VideoGame/BloodRayne Rayne]] and [[Franchise/SaintsRow The Boss]].
192* HehHehYouSaidX: On ''Critical Role'', Creator/MatthewMercer has gotten wise to her tendency towards this. It's a RunningGag at this point.
193--> '''Matt:''' Nothing escapes Laura's mind. She is our resident thirteen year-old.
194* LadySwearsALot:
195** Not so much in her voice roles for whatever reason, but DEAR GOD, does she cuss on ''Critical Role'', especially and unsurprisingly when she's having a bad night with rolls. ClusterFBomb doesn't even begin to do it justice. Creator/CliffBleszinski once live-tweeted a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' session between his wife Lauren and Laura, and commented that "the amount of swears coming out of this room would fill enough swear jars to send all of you to college forever."
196** She also voiced the similarly foul-mouthed Kainé in ''VideoGame/NieR'' and the opening scene of the game starts off with her cussing for a minute and a half.
197* PromotedFangirl:
198** According to Bailey, out of all the women who auditioned for the role of Chun-Li in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', she was the only one who [[ShownTheirWork actually knew who Chun-Li was]].
199** Also was a fan of ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' before being cast as Serana.
200** A fan of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' and ''Series/GameOfThrones'', she became part of that universe through [[VideoGame/GameOfThronesTelltale the Telltale game]].
201* ScreamingWarrior: Boy, this woman sure can ''scream'', especially when it comes to extremely intense battle scenes. Memorable ones include [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Lust]] [[spoiler:and her [[ColdBloodedTorture flame-tastic death]] at the hands of Roy Mustang]], [[Manga/SoulEater Maka]] after a particularly gruesome battle, and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]].
202* WomanOfAThousandVoices: She has a ''vast'' vocal range, voicing many deep-voiced [[ActionGirl Action Girls]] and high-pitched [[TheCutie cuties,]] to name a few categories. Just contrast [[Anime/SoulEater Maka Albarn]] with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]], or even [[WebVideo/CriticalRole Vex'ahlia with Jester Lavorre.]]
