20	----
21	!!She provides examples of:
22	* ActorSharedBackground: Her mother is a Uganda-born Indian and her father is white and English. Her roles tend to reflect this as well, as she has been cast as characters with both Indian and Anglo names.
23	* CastTheExpert:[[invoked]] She's a black belt in karate, making her adept at playing {{Action Girl}}s in ''Power Rangers'' and ''Charlie's Angels''.
24	* TheCastShowOff:[[invoked]] Having previously released an EP and previously sung as part of a choir, she got the chance to show off her singing in ''{{Film/Aladdin 2019}}'', which added an IAmSong for Jasmine not in the original.
25	* DeletedRole:[[invoked]] Most of her scenes in ''Film/TheMartian'' were deleted, making her a featured extra.
26	* DyeingForYourArt:[[invoked]] For ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', Kimberly has a scene where she cuts her hair short in the school bathroom. Naomi did that for real on camera and ended up keeping the length because she liked it.
27	* FakeNationality: In ''Lemonade Mouth'' and ''Power Rangers'', she portrays American high school students and in ''Aladdin'' she portrays a royal of a Middle Eastern kingdom, albeit a fictional one that seems to include some very light Indian elements. ''Film/CharliesAngels2019'' also has her play the American Elena.
28	* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]]
29	** After her string of ActionGirl roles in blockbusters, it was different to see her in the Netflix series ''Anatomy of a Scandal'', playing a parliamentary researcher who accuses a man of rape. Also using her own accent for a change.
30	** She also guest stars in the rom com series ''Modern Love Tokyo''.
31	* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle:[[invoked]] As noted above, she's had her hair at shoulder-length in most projects since the mid-2010s because she cut it for ''Power Rangers'' and liked the length.
32	* StarMakingRole:[[invoked]] While ''Film/PowerRangers2017'' was a box office disappointment, it was enough for Disney to cast her as Jasmine and put her on the map.
