==Trivia==
*Whitman was initially cast as Squirrel Girl in the cancelled New Warriors series, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
*Whitman came out as pansexual a year after the premiere of The Owl House.
*The majority of characters Whitman voices, particularly Leslie Dunkling, Rose, Shanti, and Amity Blight, all have similarities with one another.
**All four are the love interests to the main character.
**All four have had some minor (Leslie and Shanti) or major conflict (Amity and Rose) with the lead.
**All four are depicted as being soft-spoken, but hide a feisty spirit within them, though Amity did initially start off as being rude and entitled.
**All four have a reluctance they need to overcome. For Leslie, it's dancing with a boy in "What's Sweat Got to Do with It?"; for Shanti, it's adventuring into the jungle to rescue Mowgli; for Rose, it's accepting that not all monsters are evil; and for Amity, it's overcoming her mother's influence and accepting Luz as a friend and later girlfriend.
***Her portrayal of Tinker Bell also has some of these similarities. Her love interest is arguably Terence, with whom she has conflict, but with whom she later reconciled, in Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, and has many similar personality traits as well as several reluctances she faces. The only difference is that she is the lead character of her franchise, as opposed to being a supporting character like the others.
