The young lawyer surprised the audience and the Internet with her incisive cross-examination of Amber Heard, who found herself cornered on several occasions. Although the lawyer’s personality comes across as very assertive and determined in every trial, she also has a laid-back, human side that has been picked up on by some fans.
