!!She provides examples of:
* BeautyInversion: Her role as Ugly Betty had her wear huge glasses, braces and unfashionable clothes, in an attempt to downplay her good looks.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: She was not too fond of her first name growing up and went by Georgine until she broke through as an actress. Presumably because it's unusual in the United States (the name is perfectly normal in Honduras however).
* VocalDissonance: Her unexpectedly deep and raspy voice is somewhat at odds with her cute appearance and short stature.
