Tropes associated with her roles include:
- Endearingly Dorky: Many characters she voices are geeky, awkward, and/or quirky, and she gives all of them a lot of charm.
- Crossdressing Voices: She's occasionally lent her voice to young male characters like Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog, and Little Dreamer from Hanazuki.
- Genki Girl: Many of her characters are as full of energy as she is.
- Playing Against Type:
- Characters like the heroic Wasp are in line with her usual character types, unlike the villainous Vapor from the same series.
- She voices the bloodthirsty, batshit crazy Kronya in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
