->''"My name is Mary Kate and I pretend to be other people for a living. The rest of the time I'm just a dork."''

A winsome young actress who got outstanding praise for her nuanced, rich and realistic portrayals of a wide range of characters. Mary Kate Wiles (born March 28, 1987 in Fayetteville, Arkansas) became known because of roles in dramatic productions and webseries since she was around 19. We can't tell you how long it was since, because [[{{Meme}} a proper lady never reveals her age]]. A ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]]'' fan, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/emkaysmiles a vlogger]], and JustForFun/OneOfUs.

She played [[TroubledButCute Lyd]][[HormoneAddledTeenager ia]] [[HotBlooded Be]][[ValleyGirl nnet]] in ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'', and played [[CloudCuckooLander Zeld]][[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife a]] in ''WebVideo/{{Squaresville}}'' and Vicky in ''Series/TheFairlyOddParentsFairlyOdder'' and Sansa Stark in the ''Series/GameOfThrones''-inspired series ''WebVideo/SchoolOfThrones''. She went on to become a member of WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy and a frequent collaborator with Creator/TinCanBrothers, starring in ''Theatre/SpiesAreForever'', ''WebVideo/PoeParty'' and ''WebVideo/WaywardGuideForTheUntrainedEye''.

It is only safe to assume that her characters will be cute, and she will play them well...

!!Ms Wiles is associated with these tropes:
%%
%% Please put character tropes to the work's page.
%%
* BreakoutCharacter: Lydia Bennet is a Breakout Character for ''The Lizzie Bennet Diaries'', Sansa Stark for ''School Of Thrones'', Zelda, Percy and Hester share the role in ''Squaresville'', but her character started it, and most of the captures from ''The Woods'' are about her character, so there is definitely a trend going on...
* CatchPhrase: Her personal catchphrase is "Forth, and fear no darkness!" from ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
* CreatorCouple: She's been dating WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy co-founder Sean Persaud since shortly after she joined the troupe.
* PlayingAgainstType: To the point she has no type anymore, even though she really started with adorable comical roles and mostly has likable-yet-annoying comic relief roles. This is made even more complex between all her multi-layered personas: the FakeCutie is actually a ManipulativeBastard but turns out to have a FreudianExcuse, the seemingly laid-back CloudCuckooLander is actually a contemptful example of TheSnarkKnight while being herself NotSoAboveItAll, and the AnnoyingYoungerSibling AlphaBitch is actually a CrazyIsCool JerkWithAHeartOfGold who has a JerkassWoobie potential...
