** ''VideoGame/GameOfThronesTelltale'' (2014, voice)

** For ''Game of Thrones'', she wore platinum blonde wigs for most of the show to portray Daenerys, which she didn't mind. However, for the filming of the final season she decided to forgo wigs and dye her hair pale blonde, but she later stated this wasn't a good idea because of the long-term hair damage from the bleaching process ("It was so fried that I basically had to cut it all off, like a proper Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio, ''[[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet Romeo + Juliet]]'' boy cut). Clarke has stated she would avoid doing anything so drastic to her hair again.

* CreatorsFavorite: Of all the big franchises Clarke been part of, she unabashedly proclaimed the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse is her favorite to have been part of. After portraying G'iah in ''Series/SecretInvasion2023'', Clarke gave heavy praise for Marvel and expressed interest in staying part of the franchise for many more yearrs.

** She auditioned to play Sharon Carter in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', but the role went to Creator/EmilyVanCamp. She would eventually be cast as G'iah for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse series ''[[Series/SecretInvasion2023 Secret Invasion]]''.

* ActionGirl: A few of her most prominent roles are these, including Qi'ra, Sarah Connor and Daenerys (in Dany's case she commands armies but doesn't do much fighting personally, though she does master [[DragonRider dragon riding]] in the show's latter half and gets to kill some wights in the final season).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingMaurice'' (2022) as Malicia Grim

* StarMakingRole: [[Series/GameOfThrones Daenerys Targaryen]] was her breakthrough role. Before landing the role she was pretty much unknown as a film school grad with only a few roles under her belt, mostly consisting of short-films, low-budget made-for-TV movies and guest appearances in TV shows. Her role as Daenerys catapulted her to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in television and she's since had other high-profile roles, including starring roles in a ''Franchise/StarWars'' movie and a Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse series.

* TheCutie: Very quickly developed this reputation in RealLife thanks to her GenkiGirl personality (which contrasts heavily with [[IceQueen her most famous role as Dany]]) and her completely ''wonderful'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_tZdAMuao smile]]. Expect every comment section in videos about her to have fans [[CutenessProximity going on and on about how adorable she is]].

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. Daenerys is a [[TheStoic very serious,]] [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask humourless queen]]. Emilia is known for being very funny and goofy out of character. Her character in ''Film/MeBeforeYou'' is closer to her real personality.
