I challenge these tropes!
- Action Girl: A majority of the characters she voices fall into this. Just a few examples would be Rayne, Chun-Li, Natasha Romanov a.k.a. Black Widow, Eltariel, the Blade of Galadriel, Nadine Ross, and Abby Anderson.
- Anime Chinese Girl: She voiced many characters in video game and anime who happen to be Chinese. Across from the iconic Chun-Li, she also voiced Faye Lee, Pao-Lin Huang, and Xing Huo.
- Awesome, Dear Boy: She revealed that one of her favorite characters to voice is Tohru Honda from Fruit Basket.
- Crossdressing Voices: Notably as Shin and Kid Trunks. Subverted with Marth (who is actually Chrom's future daughter, Lucina).
- Deadpan Snarker: Many of her characters are quite sardonic. Namely, Rayne and The Boss.
- Heh Heh, You Said "X": On Critical Role, Matthew Mercer has gotten wise to her tendency towards this. It's a Running Gag at this point.Matt: Nothing escapes Laura's mind. She is our resident thirteen year-old.
- Lady Swears-a-Lot:
- Not so much in her voice roles for whatever reason, but DEAR GOD, does she cuss on Critical Role, especially and unsurprisingly when she's having a bad night with rolls. Cluster F-Bomb doesn't even begin to do it justice. Cliff Bleszinski once live-tweeted a Grand Theft Auto V session between his wife Lauren and Laura, and commented that "the amount of swears coming out of this room would fill enough swear jars to send all of you to college forever."
- She also voiced the similarly foul-mouthed Kainé in NieR and the opening scene of the game starts off with her cussing for a minute and a half.
- Promoted Fangirl:
- According to Bailey, out of all the women who auditioned for the role of Chun-Li in Street Fighter IV, she was the only one who actually knew who Chun-Li was.
- Also was a fan of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim before being cast as Serana.
- A fan of A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, she became part of that universe through the Telltale game.
- Screaming Warrior: Boy, this woman sure can scream, especially when it comes to extremely intense battle scenes. Memorable ones include Lust and her flame-tastic death at the hands of Roy Mustang, Maka after a particularly gruesome battle, and Lucina.
- Woman of a Thousand Voices: She has a vast vocal range, voicing many deep-voiced Action Girls and high-pitched cuties, to name a few categories. Just contrast Maka Albarn with Lucina, or even Vex'ahlia with Jester Lavorre.
