26 | * ActionGirl: She's an expert Muay Thai fighter and a former MMA champion, and nearly all of her roles take advantage of her combat experience. See also DarkActionGirl below. |
27 | * AmazonianBeauty: She's pretty muscular while being considered good looking enough to score a number of roles where her characters wear tight fitting and/or skimpy outfits. |
28 | * DarkActionGirl: She plays a lot of characters who have a shifty relationship with the "good" guys, while being a natural in ActionGirl roles. |
29 | * RoleEndingMisdemeanor: In 2021, Carano's contract from ''Series/TheMandalorian'' (and potential other Creator/DisneyPlus series set in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe) was not renewed following a series of controversial social media posts and comments, [[https://io9.gizmodo.com/gina-carano-is-no-longer-a-part-of-star-wars-1846244896 as described in this article]]. She's since found work in the conservative-oriented indie film industry, most notably in ''Daily Wire''-produced films. |
