History Creator / JennaOrtega

* [[invoked]]SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Most reactions toward her in ''Film/TheFallout''; she was mainly known as a Creator/DisneyChannel star beforehand.

* RoseHairedSweetie: To promote ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'', she dyed her hair pink like her character, Brooklynn.

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. Her most famous role so far has been as the famously stoic and grim Wednesday Addams whose sense of humor is extremely deadpan and morbid but she is much more outgoing, energetic and light-hearted in real life.

Her starring role as the latest incarnation of Wednesday Addams in the ''[[Franchise/TheAddamsFamily Addams Family]]'' series ''Series/{{Wednesday}}'' did invaluable work in elevating her status to one of the most popular young actors of TheNewTwenties. Aside from the show, her roles in ''[[Film/{{X2022}} X]]'', ''[[Film/Scream2022 Scream]]'' (2022) and ''Film/ScreamVI'' have also solidified her as one of the up-and-coming UsefulNotes/ScreamQueens of the decade to many (although [[https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jenna-ortega-said-feels-wrong-take-title-scream-queen.html/ she's reluctant to accept the label]]).

!! Tropes associated with her include:

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Ortega is a self-proclaimed weirdo with a quirky sense of humor.

* NiceGirl: She tends to play friendly, approachable girls or young women. In real life, she's also shown to be a friendly and affable individual, if kinda kooky as you can see in interviews.
