Filmography:



Tropes that apply to Ms. Curda include:

  • Actor-Shared Background:
    • IDDI is set in Illinois, where she spent much of her childhood.
    • Both Piper and Kathy Kan have Korean ancestry.
  • Advertised Extra: In Teen Beach 2.
  • Break-Up Song: Much of her repertoire.
  • Fan Community Nicknames: Peeps (and, more rarely, Curdonuts).
  • Idol Singer: Averted in that, unlike most Disney stars who both sing & act, her music is actually completely separate from her Disney acting career.
    "I try not to get the cliché of singing Disney stars in the way of anything. That assumption is going to come along with anyone on the network who sings. But I let people think what they want to think, hear my music, and judge it for themselves."
  • Ink-Suit Actress: She quite strongly resembles her character Debbie Kang from Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja.
  • Teen Idol: Although she's been acting since she was about 10.
  • Write Who You Know: Her younger sister Saylor has appeared as young Jasmine in IDDI.
