Ben 10 and the Cartoon Network Years

Taking over the role of Gwen Tennyson in the 2016 Ben 10 reboot marked a turning point in Hernandez’s animation career. The role ran for several seasons through 2021 and cemented her as a go-to voice for young, sharp-witted female characters. Alongside Ben 10, she also contributed voices to Victor & Valentino and Craig of the Creek, building a consistent presence across Cartoon Network’s lineup during that period.

League of Legends and Gaming

Outside of animation, Hernandez is the voice behind Empress Qiyana in League of Legends, one of the game’s more theatrically charged champions. The role brought her significant attention within gaming communities, particularly among players who follow voice casting closely. She has since expanded her game credits to include Maki in Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds, released in February 2025.

The Last Kids on Earth

Her role as June in Netflix’s The Last Kids on Earth placed her alongside a cast that included Mark Hamill, Rosario Dawson, and Nick Wolfhard in a show that went on to win an Emmy. The project showcased her range in a genre mixing horror comedy with coming-of-age storytelling, and it remains one of her most widely recognized voice performances to date.
