60 | !!Tropes: |
61 | |
62 | * ActionGirl: A lot of her characters are capable of kicking some serious butt. |
63 | * EndearinglyDorky : She can be this in real life surprisingly enough. Some of what she posts on Twitter and [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BdYWmgSgTeJ/ instagram]] and [[https://mobile.twitter.com/sumaleedotcom/status/1107796654239866880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1107796654239866880&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2F2%2Ftwitter.min.html%231107796654239866880 are a]] bit childish and dorky, but she's just so lovable in how honest she is with her fans. |
64 | * GenkiGirl: She maintains a bubbly and energetic personality, as this [[https://mobile.twitter.com/sumaleedotcom/status/1170178029718425600 GIF]] demonstrates . |
65 | * HiccupHijinks: She once got hiccups after eating a bowl of spicy noodles. They went away after a few hours of breathing and waiting. |
66 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Katana, Arcee, and Mera are among the many characters with one thing in common: They're all good people who aren't afraid to dish it out and be serious with others. |
67 | * MsFanservice: For [[https://mobile.twitter.com/sumaleedotcom/status/1002714648121102336 one audition]], she dressed in a noticeably more lavish dress. Let's just say it didn't go unnoticed, but in a good way. |
68 | * NiceGirl: While most of her characters follow this to an extent, she's very clearly this in real life, being very kind and loving to her friends, family, and fans |
69 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
70 | ** Zigzagged with [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Maria Santiago]]. Many of the characters she voices are good people on the whole, which Maria is, but she usually specializes in action girl type characters, while Maria is just a normal, loving mother. |
71 | ** A more straightforward example is Arachne from the ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' episode "Greece Is The Word", the episode's ''antagonist''. On top of that, she only growls and screams, with no human dialogue. The same goes for the harpy she voices. |
