What's♑ cooler, winning a bunch of Grammy Awards or voicin൩g video game characters?
As it turns out, Billie Eilish's mother is prolific actress Maggie Baird. Baird has had stints on The X-Files and Six Feet Under, but she's most familiar to gamers as the voice of Samara in the Mass Effect franchise.
The Asari Justicar Samara is a major character of the second and third installment on the Mass Effect franchise. Incidentally, Samara's loyalty mission has Shepard help her track down her daughter, Morinth, who happens to be a bad guy. Sorry. Going even further, we could probably draw a 𒁃parallel between Samara's blue skin and Billie's blue hair - but that's probably pushing it too far.
Mass Effect, however, is not the only game featuring Baird. Her first role was back in 1999, when she appeared in Battlezone II: Combat Commander, credited as Female Ensemble. She would go on to voice Anezka in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, as well as playing various characters in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix's threequel is alsꦿo her last video game appearance - at least for now. Most of her work has been acting in films and TV shows, although she has been on a hiatus from those as well since 201ꦏ6.
While her identity and role in these games were never a secret, people haven't really made the connection until Maclaine Diemer, composer for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Guild Wars 2, pointed it out in a tweet. Billie herself seems to be a video game fan: she even has a song called ilomilo, after the eponymous puzzle game. Her song You Should See Me in a Crown has also been featured on the FIFA 19 sound♉track, even though that does not strictly speak of her own love for th🥀e franchise.
With this connection now revealed - or at least brought to the attention of the general audience - people are clamoring for more Billie Eilish in video games. After all, her mother seems to✃ have the necessary connecti♌ons, and the young pop star could bring her own flavor to new titles.
