You need a girl that does ''both'' {{Anime}} and WesternAnimation? Then Kari Wahlgren (born July 13, 1977 in Hoisington, Kansas) is your girl.

She is a prolific voice actress with many roles (probably because she works in many mediums). She is best known in WesternAnimation as Saturn Girl in ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperheroes2006'', Charmcaster in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'', ComicBook/EmmaFrost in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'', Jane Foster and Amora the Enchantress in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', and Nova in ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo''. In anime, she is best known as Haruko Haruhara in ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'', Rip van Winkle in ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', Saya Otonashi and Diva in ''Anime/BloodPlus'', Relena from ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'', Anemone in ''Anime/EurekaSeven'', Robin in ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'' (one of her favorite roles), Kagami in ''Manga/LuckyStar'' and Celty in ''Literature/{{Durarara}}''. In VideoGames, she is best known as Ashe in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' and Lady in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4''.

Hailing from Kansas originally, she often jokes about how [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore if she had a dollar for every time]] someone told her "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz you're not in Kansas anymore]]" that she'd never have to work again!

Has a Website/{{Twitter}} [[https://twitter.com/KariWahlgren account]].

Kari has also previously voiced under pseudonyms such as Kay Jensen, Jennifer Jean. However, [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood due to union bylaws]], she has stopped doing non-union voice work since 2005, but still continues to do union voice work in anime occasionally.

And in case you were wondering, her first name rhymes with "Ferrari".
