Tropes
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Her most common roles are either a Deadpan Snarker or a straight-out Ice Queen. Sometimes both.
- But Not Too Foreign: Her father is of Portuguese descent, and her mother is of half Portuguese ancestry.
- Former Child Star: Downplayed, if not subverted. Not only did she started as a teenager (13), but she also has regular work.
- Playing Against Type: Her character in Agent Carter is far from her usual Aloof Dark-Haired Girl gigs.
- Spell My Name with an "S": It is indeed spelled "Lyndsy", not the more traditional "Lyndsey".
- Typecasting: She's usually cast as an Aloof Dark-Haired Girl (see above). Very much averted in Agent Carter.
