This spear has slain many tropes, making a mountain of entries:
- Action Girl: Most of her roles qualify for this. Seri Awashima, Katarina, and Anna Williams are best examples.
- Femme Fatale: Many of her roles may fall into this category, Anna Williams and Katarina in particular.
- Lady of War: A good number of her roles fit into this.
- Playing Against Type: Ester in Ben 10: Omniverse (a teenage girl nowhere near serious minded or mature), Samantha in Tiger & Bunny (a kindly old woman), Eva Heinemann from Monster (a Rich Bitch who falls into alcoholism), Elizabeth in Persona 3 (a complete Cloudcuckoolander), Dreamcatcher in Skylanders (A sadistic Psychopathic Manchild and Nightmare Weaver), Jenny in Doc McStuffins (a Shrinking Violet) and Zero in Drakengard 3 (a foul-mouthed and bloodthirsty Anti-Hero).
- Typecasting: While her husband Yuri Lowenthal is often cast as idealistic Kid Heroes note , Tara is often cast as mature, serious, adult women of various types from Lady of War to a Proper Lady. Noticeable examples include Anna Williams, Mitsuru Kirijo, Setsuka, Jennifer Nocturne, Katarina, Eva Heinnmann, Lisa Yadoumaru, Reina, Agnes Joubert, Seri Awashima, Yuri Watanabe, Washimi and Edelgard von Hresvelg.
