61
62	!Tropes
63	* DyeingForYourArt: She initially bleached her hair to play the various Sixes in ''Battlestar Galactica''. When the process started to damage her hair she switched to using wigs instead. This allowed the crew to introduce more individual Sixes with different hair colors, a few of whom have Tricia's undyed hair color.
64	* InkSuitActor:
65	** She provides both the voice and likeness for Veronica Dare in ''Videogame/Halo3ODST''.
66	** The [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} mobile platform that EDI pilots]] in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' counts as well.
67	* MsFanservice: Helfer is a model as well as an actress, and is absolutely gorgeous. As a result she's been cast as Ms Fanservice in just about everything from ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}'' to ''Series/{{Chuck}}''. It might be easier to say what she ''isn't'' Ms Fanservice in. She has also modeled along with her acting career.
68	* NoStuntDouble: Has been known to do her own stunts; this resulted in two artificial discs in her lower back from stunt mishaps (Tricia also has four artificial disks in her back and two in her neck, after a piece of luggage fell onto her while in an airplane).
