Tropes related to her career:
- Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: Despite being a child star, her projects are anything but family friendly. You just have to look at Lamb or The Beguiled for proof of that. So far Pete's Dragon is the closest she’s done to a family film.
- The Cast Show Off: She’s a Broadway star and performed the song “Dragons Will Be” on the Pete's Dragon soundtrack.
- Celebrity Crush: She apparently has one for Finn Wolfhard. No really.
- Older Than They Look: She looks and frequently plays characters younger then she actually is, which leads to a lot of Dawson Casting.
