43	!!Tropes
44	* ActionGirl: Her most common roles.
45	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Another common character type she usually plays.
46	* TheCastShowOff: She sings, and she and her on-screen sister Creator/EmilyKinney (also a singer) showcased it when they made a duet during the Season 3 premiere of ''Series/{{The Walking Dead\|2010}}''.
47	* DyeingForYourArt:
48	** Learned fencing while she was doing ''[[Film/VanWilder National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj]]''.
49	** Learned archery while filming ''The Quiet Assassin''.
50	** She also learned how to use guns during her stint on ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''.
51	* FakeNationality: Played with. She's American but grew up on the UK, so she doesn't really count as neither when playing an American or Brit. She does, however, play the FakeMixedRace on ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' ([[FakeRussian Russian]]-American).
52	* MsFanservice: She used to be a model (and occasionally still does). Unsurprisingly, her characters tend to be the source of MaleGaze.
53	* StarMakingRole: She's a familiar face on TV for much of the late [[TurnOfTheMillennium 2000s]], and then she was cast on ''Series/{{The Walking Dead\|2010}}''.
54	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
55	** She initially auditioned for Ruby in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', but the role eventually went to Creator/KatieCassidy. She still got cast as Bela Talbot, though.
56	** She had a show titled ''Heavenly'' for Creator/TheCW that was never picked up.
57	** She was the top choice to play The ComicBook/{{Huntress}} on ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', but was already committed to ''Series/{{The Walking Dead\|2010}}'' when production began.
58	** There were plans for her to reprise the role of Martha Wayne, as the ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DC Comics}} Joker along with Creator/JeffreyDeanMorgan as its [[Characters/FlashpointDCComics Thomas Wayne Batman]]. The plans fell through with the post-''Batman v. Superman'' [[TroubledProduction turmoils]] of the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse and ''Film/{{The Flash\|2023}}'' ultimately has little to do with ''Flashpoint'' at all.
