22	----
23	!!Tropes associated with the actress include:
24	* AbilityOverAppearance: Belle in the Disney film is French but speaks with an American accent. Producers let Emilie use her natural voice rather than be a FakeAmerican.
25	* ActorAllusion: In ''Film/RememberMe'', the cops say that it's 8.15 in one scene - the same number as the flight in ''{{Series/Lost}}''.
26	* TheDanza: As Emily in ''{{Film/Brick}}''.
27	* DawsonCasting: She was subject to this in a lot of her early roles.
28	* DyeingForYourArt: For Belle's Season 1 appearances, she just wore a wig. When she was upgraded to series regular, she dyed her hair brown. She reverted to her natural blonde after Season 5 and wore a wig again for Season 6.
29	* FakeAmerican: She can do a flawless American accent. To the degree that a few viewers in the initial episodes of ''{{Series/Lost}}'' accused her Australian accent of [[RealityIsUnrealistic sounding fake]]. No longer so from 2018 onward as she has acquired American citizenship.
30	* HideYourPregnancy: Belle became pregnant during Season 5 because Emilie was in real life. In flashbacks to when Belle isn't pregnant, there's a lot of shots from the chest up to hide it.
31	* IronyAsSheIsCast: Claire in ''{{Series/Lost}}'' loves peanut butter. Emilie herself is allergic to it.
32	* PlayingAgainstType:
33	** She played the AlphaBitch Chris Hargensen in ''{{Film/Carrie\|2002}}''.
34	** To a lesser extent as GoodBadGirl Ally Craig in ''Film/RememberMe''.
35	* ScullyBox: For ''Film/RememberMe'', Emilie had to make up for the huge height difference between her and Creator/RobertPattinson. The difference is nearly a whole foot to be exact.
