This is evident in her own responses to her POV roleplay videos, where she is playing Aisling responding to Elliwyn and Augury, also played by her.

This is also present in a few of her sponsorship ads, with either her playing two different characters or just wearing a different outfit.

* ConvertedFanboy: Well, fan-woman. She wasn't initially into ''D&D'' until she started watching ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', but has since become a regular player of it and now covers the game - plus others on occasion - regularly.



** Although she agreed to do some work with Wizards of the Coast for their promotion of ''One D&D'', she would later make several public and scathing criticisms of the leaked plans for Wizards to overhaul their Open-Game Licence, openly saying that it was - in her view - a move that would only harm the community.

* FakeBrit: A lot of her characters have accents that could be described as "Received Pronunciation" or upper-class English, most prominently Augury.
* FakeRussian: Na'Krasha speaks with a Russian accent.



* PoorCommunicationKills: A key theme in her advice videos for tabletop roleplaying games; ''talk your problems through''. Ginny argues that both players and Dungeon/Game Master need to be open if there's a problem such as differing expectations or behaviour making a participant uncomfortable, rather than bottle it up or begin sniping at each other, as otherwise things ''will'' go badly.

** Her 2020 video, "Why you should build your character wrong" (viewable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIp_p0z4J14 here]]), is one she's no longer proud
of masturbation jokes as of 2022. She would go on to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT9d7Z1o1mk "roast" herself]] for this argument, pointing out that while building a poorly-optimised character will work in ''some'' groups and parties as did it for her PC, in others it can be a liability. In the case of Aisling, it was also her first ''D&D'' character, and she wasn't as experienced in [=TTRPGs=] in general. Furthering this backlash was the fact that the ''D&D'' community is notoriously split on "min-maxing", and she kept getting flak for her stance.

Aisling is an archfey warlock/druid, Penelope is a mushroom farmer, Artemisia is a ranger raised by a treant, Morelia is a classic hedge witch who makes potions from magical plants, and so on. She is admittedly a fan of these nature-based D&D subclasses and backgrounds.
