Rising from a child actress to a bona fide star, Ortega has carved a unique path, shunning traditional romantic roles for darker, more complex characters. Her recent candid revelations provide a rare glimpse into the mindset of young Hollywood's emerging goth icon.

"I'm definitely the actress who's like, More blood," Ortega boldly stated in an Elle interview back in April 2023. Her penchant for gore and horror has defined her career, from the chilling Wednesday series to the blood-soaked Scream VI. Ortega's commitment to authenticity in her roles has earned her respect in the genre, as she continuously strives to push boundaries and deepen her characters' complexities.

Despite her fearless on-screen persona, Ortega has confessed to feeling the weight of expectations. "I am so fearful of disappointing the people in my life, or even people in public," she admitted. This vulnerability, often hidden behind her goth image, highlights the challenges young actors face in an industry fixated on perfection and relentless scrutiny.
