* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor - On stage with Music/TheAgonist she seemed quite controlled and serious, and with Music/ArchEnemy somewhat aggressive and dangerous, but in real life she is nice, funny and a bit of a GenkiGirl. She is also introverted and is often called a bitch for being shy or socially anxious.
