They like to cast me for scary roles. I think it`s because they want you to be scared, but also to like the little girl.

This actress provides examples of:
- Creepy Child / Enfant Terrible:
- Many of her kid roles were these tropes.
- The director of the Silent Hill movie talked about when he first met Jodelle
, she was this giggling little girl in pink sunglasses and a white fur coat, and then she said to him in a creepy tone how she always wanted to play the devil.
- Crosscast Role: She had a small role in the movie The Messengers, where she played a little boy at the start of the movie.
- Dawson Casting: Her character Five in Dark Matter (2015) is stated to be 16. Jodelle was 20 when the show began, though that's closer than many of these castings.
- Dyeing for Your Art: She had her long brown hair cut and dyed green for the role of Five in Dark Matter (2015).
- Suppressed Mammaries: A downplayed example, but as she was supposed to be a teenager in Dark Matter (2015), she was dressed in baggy, loose clothes to conceal her breasts.
- What Beautiful Eyes!: She has beautiful blue eyes, as emphasized in the page picture to the right, as well as in her various roles.
