Hold the tropes!
- Awesome, Dear Boy: How do you know a voice actor is passionate about and genuinely loves her job? When she cosplays as her own character, of course! Whether it's Elizabeth or Ann, it's not hard to see that she enjoys what she does. She even streams Persona 5 Royal in her Twitch as seen here.
- Enforced Method Acting: Ann Takamaki's Big "WHAT?!" when Joker was invited as a newcomer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was her own genuine reaction.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: She is usually cast as sweet girls or Cool Big Sister types.
- Playing Against Type: She can also do The Stoic or even Femme Fatale roles well, as evidenced by Kyoko Kirigiri, Sadira, and Violet.
- Kurapika is one of her first male roles.
- Her role as the borderline psychotic Yumeko Jabami.
- And now we got Jeanne D'Arc Alter in the mix who is the polar opposite of her role as Jeanne and is ill-tempered and quick to roast those who irritate her.
- Shipper on Set: Harlacher is a big shipper of Ann Takamaki and fellow Phantom Thief team member Ryuji Sakamoto. She's made a couple of tweets before and after the game's release that shows her supporting it on fanart and the like. She once stated at a convention that, while she was recording her lines for Ann, she was shocked that the two characters didn't end up together once she was done with the main story and it was time to do the Confidant dialogue (which includes an optional romance route with player character Joker).
- Star-Making Role: Ami Kawashima in Toradora! and Asseylum Vers Allusia in Aldnoah.Zero is this for anime, while Kyoko Kirigiri in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Ann Takamaki in Persona 5 is this for video games. She also gained further fame as Venti in Genshin Impact.
