Did she appear on Game of Thrones?

Scratch. All the actors I was thinking of were nominated for Emmy.

We have collectively done an awful job of questioning this round. 18 questions in and all we know are young female TV (not Netflix) actress, likely British (unless born exactly in 1995), not nominated for Emmy.

The hint has me curious: what rule is QM bending?

Maybe she's horribly obscure, but her acting work is famous?

Free guess: Miss Piggy of the Muppets? I half-read the compiled information and that's my best guess. Perhaps the bent rule is on "real", the character is fictional though it is a physical object/being

Nope, actually, scratch that guess, Miss Piggy has existed since 1976.

Free guess: Madison Blaine McLaughlin? American citizen born precisely in 1995 most known for her roles in various TV shows, though she's also been in some obscure films and made some of her own so I'm iffy on if she could be the person you're thinking of.

I'm not sure what else could be "bending the rules" aside from this.

To address the prior comment I don't think the questioning was that bad, outside of a few avoidable misfires (that tend to happen each round).

Duly scratched, but just to be clear, I haven't bent any rules in answering the questions. I've just broken some of the unwritten notability rules in choosing this subject. I considered choosing the character that this actress plays, but decided that choosing the actress would be more fun.

Not Madison Blaine McLaughlin. This person is probably more obscure than her personally, but her acting is much more famous.

I will say that if you discover what TV show this actress appeared in, it will be pretty easy to tell which actress I'm thinking of. But it's not a show that's likely to come to mind immediately based on what you have deduced. For your last two questions, I would recommend asking about broad categories of TV shows, so that you hopefully get it narrowed down somewhat.

I have a strong feeling this is going down the "OP clue after question 20 gives Spartaculous a win" route but I will bite:

Primarily famous for acting in one or more of the following: a comedy tv show, an animated tv show, a reality tv show, a children's tv show, or a science fiction tv show?

Yes. Get your free guesses in.

Free guess: Harley Bird

That's a good shout.

I'm thinking this actress doesn't have a wiki... which is the "unwritten rule." Harley Bird was my best guess though

Harley Bird does have a Wikipedia page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley_Bird

No, but I like this guess.

I'll just leave a note here for if this round goes unguessed and the QM would like to just pick someone willing to host the next round, i'm completely open to taking the seat cause there is no shot we're getting this one in one last question and 5 guesses

Can't think of any guesses, so...

Primarily famous for acting in an animated TV show?

If the answer to my question is no, then my only guess I can muster is Nell Williams (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nell_Williams), probably way too obscure, but after scouring en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:English_television_actresses, she was the only one I could find that fit, after a not-so-intensive search.

Aristocrat, is your guess conditional or not? If it's not conditional, I can answer it now and it will count as your free guess. But if it is conditional, then (if the condition is met) it will count as one of the five final guesses.

Whoops, I meant wintergreen.

I'm just going to answer it. Not from an animated show, and not Nell Williams (but I won't count that towards the five guesses).

You have five guesses left.

For your first hint, this is an actress from a (non-animated) children's TV show.
