Trope associated with Michelle Ruff
- Deuteragonist: What her best well known roles fall into.
- Everything's Better with Princesses: She happens to land on these roles quite often. Example goes with Arcueid of Tsukihime, Lan of Rinne No Lagrange, Euphemia of Code Geass amongst others.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: A lot of her characters are usually deep-voiced Badass or hot chicks such as Crimson Viper, Rukia, Nisa, Yoko, Etna. Also, as mentioned above, most her characters are deuteragonist or minor characters and rarely get lead roles.
- Relationship Voice Actor: With Tony Oliver in many, many, works.
- Woman Of A Thousand Voices: How can we not forget this. She's not only capable of a deep voice, but also softer tone for The Quiet Ones like Yuki Nagato and Anri. Or doing a higher-pitch voice for more younger characters like Cream the Rabbit and Desco; and even young boys.
- Older Than They Look: Can you believe she is now 45?
