(And, no, I'm not going to make any obvious jokes...)
Why do we say she's a "fangirl"?
Besides being a hardcore Trekker and comic book fan, Rosario is also the creator/co-writer of the comic book Occult Crimes TaskForce
(and the lead character Sophia Ortiz is illustrated in her image).As for being a "fanboy dream goddess"...if you've seen the recent slate of Marvel/Netflix series (she appeared in all of them) as well as both Sin City films, GrindHouse, or even Adventures of Pluto Nash (She and Pam Grier are the ONLY reasons to bother with that turkey!) you wouldn't be wondering about the designation...and now she's the live-action embodiment of the animated Star Wars character Ahsoka Tano first on the TV series The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett, now in her own, self-titled show!
Rosario is one of the more civic-minded performers in show-biz, devoting her time and her name to a wide variety of causes including voter registration, gay rights, preventing domestic violence, and conservation.
Very cool!
Trivia:
Dawson is the only person (AFAIK) to appear in the DC, Marvel and Archie media universes!
