* HugeGuyTinyGirl[=/=]OneHeadTaller: Her on-screen love interests towers over her, as most of them tend to stand 6 feet and above while she's only 5'2. Examples are Creator/JasonMomoa (6'4) and Michiel Huisman (6') in ''Series/GameOfThrones'', and Jai Courtney (6'1) in ''Film/TerminatorGenisys''.

She also once dated Creator/SethMacfarlane.

* HumbleHero: In spite of her lightning rise to fame, she hasn't forgotten that until recently she was working three to six odd jobs just to pay the rent. And often returns home to her family for get-togethers.

* PerpetualSmiler: She is one happy lady. One can't help but grin like a loon when confronted with that dazzling smile.
* SweetTooth: Can apparently be bribed with assorted Pick 'N Mix gummies and chocolates.
** But endured a real-life BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor scenario when she was forced to eat a massive fake horse heart for one episode made out of gummy bear material, which likely put her off gummies for a while.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Just look at them!
