Perspective
Robertson began her career in the video game industry, despite being unfamiliar with gaming.[5] Her first credits include Smite and Rogue Company.[6] She then moved to Los Angeles in 2019.[7]
In 2019, Robertson auditioned for the role of Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village based solely on the description of the character; she had no prior knowledge of the Resident Evil franchise. She likened the process to a theater audition and felt comfortable with her work,[8] but she was surprised at her hiring.[2] To prepare for the role, Robertson studied the movements of animals as she found Dimitrescu to be "catlike".[9] She also took inspiration from the works of Shakespeare.[10]
Resident Evil Village was released in May 2021 to commercial success and favorable reviews.[11][12] Following its release, Robertson was revealed as the voice and motion capture actor for Dimitrescu.[13] The character achieved viral fame and earned Robertson wide recognition which she found unexpected.[14] Multiple publications, including Eurogamer,[15] The Guardian,[16] GamesRadar,[17] and Polygon,[18] observed Dimitrescu as a breakout character in the video game industry despite not being a main character.[19] For her performance, Robertson won accolades at the Golden Joystick Awards 2021,[20] The Game Awards 2021,[21] the Voice Arts Awards 2021,[22] the 2022 New York Game Awards,[23] the 2022 NAVGTR Awards,[24] and the 25th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards.[25] She was also nominated for the British Academy Games Award for Performer in a Supporting Role at the 2022 British Academy Games Awards, her first major award nomination.[26]
From 2021 to 2022, Robertson reprised her role as Dimitrescu in DLCs and took on roles in Back 4 Blood and God of War Ragnarök.[27][28] In 2023, she landed her second major role in the role-playing video game Baldur's Gate 3 as Orin the Red, one of the game's three villains.[29] She was excited to play the role because of her past experience with Wizards of the Coast, and called it "liberating".[30] That same year, she appeared in The Lamplighters League, a turn-based tactics video game.[31]
In 2024, Robertson voiced Lilith in Granblue Fantasy: Relink, the fourth video game in the Granblue Fantasy series.[32][33] In 2025, she voiced Orin the Emissary in the Destiny 2 DLC The Edge of Fate. Ravi Sinha of GamingBolt praised her performance, calling her "great" and noting her versatility.[34]
