42	!!Tropes associated with her work include:
43	* BoyishShortHair: Her trademark; she sported it not only as Servalan but in many of her acting roles, and in real life as well.
44	* BreakoutVillain: Servalan was originally only intended to appear in one episode of ''Series/BlakesSeven'', but Pearce's performance was so popular with the production team and audience that she became the BigBad of all four seasons of the show.
