8	->''"A lot of the newer actors and actresses as of late, you can kinda tell when they're starting out and when they've been around for awhile because you can tell the people who've been around awhile; they like their stuff, but they don't seem to be in love with it. Erica Mendez is one of those people that started a couple years ago and is the biggest fan of her own work ever because she has a shelf of everything she's done..."''

155	----
156	!![[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder uhm, Senpai. Here is the list of my Tropes]]:
157	* ActionGirl: This is one of her fortes. If she isn't voicing a young boy, many of her female characters definitely will lean towards this trope.
158	* CrossdressingVoices: She's capable of voicing young boy characters. However, she's been balancing this typecast by also playing female characters in addition to playing younger male characters.
159	* GenkiGirl: Many of her female roles tend to be of this type, [[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia Akko]] being a standout example.
160	* HairTriggerTemper: Many of her roles are of characters who are easily prone to anger, including, but not limited to, [[Anime/KillLaKill Ryuko]], [[VideoGame/NewPokemonSnap Phil]], and [[Anime/{{Aggretsuko}} Retsuko]] (despite ironically not voicing her death metal self).
161	* TheHero: Tends to be cast as the main character, particularly if it's as [[ActionGirl Action]] (like [[Anime/KillLaKill Ryuuko]]) and or [[GenkiGirl Genki]] Girls (like [[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia Akko]]). She has also been cast as a couple of [[{{Shonen}} battle shounen]] heroes like [[Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic Aladdin]], [[Manga/HunterXHunter Gon]] and [[Manga/ThePromisedNeverland Emma]].
162	* IAmNotSpock: [[Anime/KillLaKill Ryuko]] was such [[StarMakingRole an important role]] for Mendez that it's come to define her career, despite the fact that she's done much more than [[TomboyishVoice deep-voiced tomboys]], [[https://twitter.com/tsunderica/status/1082556684206108672?s=19 something that she's acknowledged]].
163	** When she's not voicing young boys, she often voices {{Action Girl}}s with a {{tomboy}}ish or "tough girl" personality, or even girls who can get irritated easily (like [[Franchise/LoveLive Nico]]).
164	* PlayingAgainstType:
165	** Has begun to play more feminine characters in recent years, such as Eleanor in ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'', Deirdre in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', Lianna in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' and [[VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth Orie]] in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle''.
166	** She also voices Bernadetta in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', who's a ShrinkingViolet.
167	** While she also voices villains like [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls Nagisa Shingetsu]] and [[Literature/FateApocrypha Jack the Ripper/Assassin of Black]], [[Manga/ShamanKing Hao Asakura]] marks the first time she voiced the BigBad.
168	* PromotedFangirl:
169	** She's a fan of ''Anime/LoveLive'' and it's pretty obvious that she enjoyed her work playing as Nico Yazawa, with her Twitter posts consisting of showing the figurines she's bought along with doing her iconic pose.
170	** She's also a huge fan of the ''Fate'' series, who eventually ends up casted for [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Mash Kyrielight]].
171	* StarMakingRole: [[Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic Aladdin]] helped put her in the voice acting spotlight within anime fans.
172	* TypeCasting: Her primary forte (especially in the early stages of her career) seems to be young boy characters. In fact, according to her in a [=AMA=], she has been cast [[http://ask.fm/tsunderica/answer/107130992564 as 7 boys and 1 girl]], at least in Creator/BangZoomEntertainment [[http://ask.fm/tsunderica/answer/108202275764 side of things]].
173	* WomanOfAThousandVoices: In addition to her young boy roles, she's capable of voicing other characters. Case in point, she voiced three different characters (Pearl, Ruby, and Den Mother) in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfNewerth'' where each character have their own distinct voice and personality. More specifically, she can go from gruff-voiced ActionGirl types like [[Anime/KillLaKill Ryuko]], to excitable characters like [[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia Akko]], to high-pitched and cute like [[VideoGame/FairyFencerF Eryn]].
