| 12 | Jenna Ortega (born September 27, 2002 in Coachella Valley, California) is an American actress and voice actress of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Ortega began her career as a child actress, gaining early recognition for her recurring role as young Jane in ''Series/JaneTheVirgin''. Her lead role as main character Harley Diaz on ''Series/StuckInTheMiddle'' led to a major rise in prominence, and she went on to receive acclaim for roles in works of various genres, from the teen drama ''Film/TheFallout'' to the thriller series ''[[Series/You2018 You]]''. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | 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. Alongside 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]]). |

| 51 | !! Tropes associated with Jenna Ortega include: |
| 52 | * ActorSharedBackground: Being of Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage, she plays plenty of Latina characters. |
| 53 | * BadassAdorable: Her characters are cute as a button and adapt to a lot of situations. |
| 54 | * FakeMixedRace: Her character Vada in ''Film/TheFallout'' is mixed race with a white mother and Latino father. Jenna is fully Latina. |
| 55 | * 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. |
| 56 | * NiceGirl: She tends to play friendly, approachable girls or young women. |
| 57 | * PlayingAgainstType: [[Series/{{Wednesday}} Wednesday Addams]], to put it simply, isn't as [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold friendly]] or [[AloofDarkHairedGirl approachable]] as her other roles. |
| 58 | * RoseHairedSweetie: To promote ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'', she dyed her hair pink like her character Brooklynn. |
| 59 | * [[invoked]]SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Most reactions toward her in ''Film/TheFallout''; she was mainly known as a Creator/DisneyChannel star beforehand. |
