30!!Tropes & Trivia about her works:
31
32* FakeAmerican: Many of her roles so far have had her playing Americans and doing so convincingly enough that some fans are actually surprised to find out she is really from England.
33* TimeShiftedActors: She's played the younger version of adult characters several times, such as Ruth in ''Never Let Me Go'' (Creator/KeiraKnightley), Maleficent in the eponymous film (Creator/AngelinaJolie) and Jane Porter in ''The Legend of Tarzan'' (Creator/MargotRobbie). Notably, her character on ''Yellowjackets'' does not appear as an adult, despite the series featuring several instances of this. And ''Arcane'' has her doing the inverse with her playing the older version of Jinx.
