!!Tropes she exhibits:

[[folder: Tropes ]]

[[/folder]]

---> ''Let it wash away my sanity''

* SpiritualSuccessor: Hilary has so many successors, like Music/MileyCyrus (who is a big fan of Hilary), Music/BridgitMendler (who has the same qualities and looks as Hilary), and even her channel's rival equivalent, MirandaCosgrove (who is literally the network's answer to Miley) that to list all those who owe their success to Hilary would overload this page.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Hilary has so many successors, like MileyCyrus (who is a big fan of Hilary), Music/BridgitMendler (who has the same qualities and looks as Hilary), and even her channel's rival equivalent, MirandaCosgrove (who is literally the network's answer to Miley) that to list all those who owe their success to Hilary would overload this page.

** Also invented the Disney girls becoming singers thing starting with her then moving to MileyCyrus and then SelenaGomez and and then DemiLovato to present.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "You roll me, you use me, you love and then" is a drug reference in a poppy song for pre teens and young teenagers. Doesn't make sense till you grow up. Much like AvrilLavigne's GCPTR.

* BreakUpSong: In a variety of ways: ''Happy, Outside Of You, I Wish, The Getaway, Who's That Girl, Stranger, Beat Of My Heart, Break My Heart, Holiday, Jericho, Crash World, Hide Away''
* BookEnds: Come Clean (Let's go back, back to the beginning)! Underneath This Smile(What I'm standing on is sinking in), Fly (Juat one moment) .
* CoverVersion: Our Lips Are Sealed (For Film/ACinderellaStory), My Generation (At Most Wanted tour), I Can't Wait (Originally by Brook Clymont) and Little Voice (Basically rewrote the lyrics and the aim of the song)

* LyricalDissonance: "Dreamer" a song about a stalker and the media who hounds her constantly and is expressed singing wise very sarcastically, the background has "Bum bum bum, da da bum" and extremely happy background music with a smooth beat and chirpy background vocals.
** Similarly, "Between You and Me" has the girl telling some random guy to piss off, all together with very preppy, almost cynical background music.

* LoveWillLeadYouBack: Jericho takes this tone..

'''Hilary''' Erhard '''Duff''' (born September 28, 1987) is an American actress, singer, songwriter, fashion designer and book author (1997-present). Inspired by Music/BritneySpears and her sister Haylie Duff (Material Girls, Napoleon Dynamite, various songs with/for Hilary) when she was a child to become an actor, singer and songwriter.

* TakeThat: ''Dignity'' to the various controversial people in 2007 including LindsayLohan, Creator/ParisHilton and BritneySpears. ''Who's That Girl'' about how her boyfriend cheated on her with LindsayLohan and ''Haters'' to general gossip culture and people spreading lies to make themselves feel better about themselves...[[RuleOfThree also]] LindsayLohan.

After working in local theater plays and television commercials in her childhood, Duff gained fame for playing the title role in the DisneyChannel television series ''Series/LizzieMcGuire''. She subsequently ventured into motion pictures and has many successful films to her credit, including ''Film/CasperMeetsWendy'', ''[[TheMovie The Lizzie McGuire Movie]]'', ''Film/CheaperByTheDozen'', ''Film/ACinderellaStory'', ''Cheaper by the Dozen 2'', ''Film/WarInc'', ''Film/AccordingToGreta'', and ''Stay Cool''. As of 2014, she's finished her ''Elixir'' book series and is now working on an album. She went on to release "All About You" and "Chasing The Sun" in 2014.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Hilary has so many successors, like MileyCyrus (who is a big fan of Hilary), BridgitMendler (who has the same qualities and looks as Hilary), and even her channel's rival equivalent, MirandaCosgrove (who is literally the network's answer to Miley) that to list all those who owe their success to Hilary would overload this page.

** SelenaGomez deserves a special mention. She was discovered after auditioning for the lead role in a spin-off of LizzieMcGuire. She actually did get the role, but the project was cancelled. Even so, she later did get to play a counterpart to a Hilary Duff character in Film/AnotherCinderellaStory.

** The LizzieMcGuire Movie (2003)

** ''The LizzieMcGuire Movie'' (2003)

* TypeCast: At this point, she seems to have two types. In the years immediately following ''LizzieMcGuire'', every character she played was basically "Lizzie [=McGuire=] with a different name" and she still plays these sort of roles now and then. ''Film/WarInc'' established another type for her, the popular, likely spoiled starlet and/or rich girl -- in other words, [[AdamWesting an exaggerated version of herself]].

After working in local theater plays and television commercials in her childhood, Duff gained fame for playing the title role in the DisneyChannel television series ''Series/LizzieMcGuire''. She subsequently ventured into motion pictures and has many successful films to her credit, including ''Casper Meets Wendy'', ''[[TheMovie The Lizzie McGuire Movie]]'', ''Film/CheaperByTheDozen'', ''Film/ACinderellaStory'', ''Cheaper by the Dozen 2'', ''Film/WarInc'', ''Film/AccordingToGreta'', and ''Stay Cool''. As of 2014, she's finished her ''Elixir'' book series and is now working on an album. She went on to release "All About You" and "Chasing The Sun" in 2014.

She is also a [[http://twitter.com/#!/HilaryDuff Twitterer]]. Now has her own kid; [[https://twitter.com/#!/HilaryDuff/status/182942026910793728 Luca Cruz Comrie was born on March 20, 2012 ]], With Mike Comrie..

** ''AgentCodyBanks'' (2003)

** ''CheaperByTheDozen'' (2003)

** ''RaiseYourVoice'' (2004)

* DarkerAndEdgier: Her music got darker in her self titled era, and her movies went way off the deep end in "War Inc" (Bringing the Sexy for the first time) and "According To Greta" (As far as character goes).

** She also delivered much of it when voicing [[GreekChorus Animated Lizzie McGuire]], and her fair share as [[Series/Younger Kelsey]].

** ''Cadet Kelly'' (2002)

* {{Metamorphosis}}: her debut, none themed album was called this, as it was about her metamorphosis from actor to singer.

* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: "Fly" being the most obvious one, but Rock This World, Girl Can Rock, Wake Up, No Work All Play, Inner Strength and Workin' It Out all also apply.

** She also delivered much of it when voicing [[GreekChorus Animated Lizzie McGuire]].

* GoodIsBoring: Before 2007 happened she annoyed fans and haters by being Too Nice or too sweet or too kind hearted. It was deemed as fake.

* DeadpanSnarker: "Between You & Me", "Little Voice", "Do Ya Want Me?", "Dreamer", "Mr James Dean", "Weird", she tends to cynical and snarky in her music when dealing with unwanted suitors..

* IntercourseWithYou: "Reach Out" and "Sparks".

* IntercourseWithYou: Reach Out.
