Colleen has been voicing anime characters since 2004 and has voiced a variety of characters.

She has voiced several side characters, but she has also voiced some well-known characters from beloved franchises.

A Living Weapon Who Can Transform Into A Powerful Hammer
✕ Remove Ads
In Soul Eater, there are special humans who can transform into traditional weapons like guns and Scythes. Marie Mjolnir is one of these humans, but she has achieved the rank of Death Scythe, which means she is worthy of being wielded by Death himself. She is also an instructor at Death Weapon Meister Academy, and is currently partnered with Franken Stein, her former boyfriend.
Marie is a kind and gentle person, but she is also called, 'The Pulverizer' because she can overpower some of her fellow Death Scythes. She usually transforms into a large hammer called, 'Mjolnir.' While in this form, Marie can deal massive internal damage to an opponent by driving a wavelength through their body. Marie’s biggest flaw is her tendency to go to great lengths to make her boyfriends happy, only for each one to eventually run off on her.

6 Princess Hibana Is A Third Generation Pyrokinetic Who Can Generate Slower-Shaped Flames
A Somewhat Sadistic And Dedicated Fire Force Captain
Hibana is a former Third Generation pyrokinetic who led Special Fire Force Company 5. At first, she appeared to be a sadistic and twisted person who enjoyed inflicting pain on captured Infernals. She is a highly ambitious woman who uses her charm and beauty to manipulate others, and she is driven by revenge. That said, Hibana has a good heart and is capable of loving others.

Hibana never retrieved formal training, so her endurance was quite limited, but her offensive strength is still impressive. Her Clematis ability allows her to create flower-shaped flames through her hands or fan. Hibana typically surrounds her target with Cherry Blossom-like flames that can cut flesh and destroy multiple Infernal cores at once. She can manipulate the surrounding temperature, and she can subdue multiple opponents by enveloping them in intense heat.
