Early life[edit]

Career[edit]

White has several film and television credits, including a leading role in the 2015 independent horror film Occupants by Russ Emanuel, Jessica Townsend on an episode of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders and a supporting role in 2016's Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.[4][5] In 2014, White appeared as Aurora in the "Snow White vs. Elsa" episode of Princess Rap Battle.[6] She had created content on YouTube and Twitch under the name Strange Rebel Gaming for several years prior to doing voice acting.[7][8]

In 2019, White was cast in her first voice acting role as Aerith Gainsborough in the 2020 game Final Fantasy VII Remake.[9] Her performance received near-universal acclaim,[7] with Mike Fahey of Kotaku writing that White's voice acting helped Aerith to evolve "from a waifish tagalong character into the dynamic, witty, and playful young woman she was always supposed to be."[10] She reprised the role in 2022's Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion[11] and 2024's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.[3]
