Aurora Perrineau (born September 23, 1994) is an American actress and model. She is best known for starring as Shana Elmsford in Jem and the Holograms (2015), the live-action film adaptation of the 1980s animated television series Jem, Giselle Hammond in Blumhouse's Truth or Dare (2018), Tanya in Netflix's When They See Us (2019), and as C in HBO's Westworld (2022).

Perrineau was born to model Brittany Perrineau and actor Harold Perrineau. Perrineau is a model signed to Click Model Management, Inc. ..... Girls creator-writer-actress Lena Dunham initially defended Miller, who was a writer for the series, but later retracted her statements. On August 10, 2018, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against Miller.

In 2012, Perrineau starred in the direct-to-video film Air Collision. In 2014, Perrineau appeared in episodes of Newsreaders and in Chasing Life as Margo. In April 2014, it was announced that Perrineau was cast in the role of Shana in Jem and the Holograms, based on the 1980s cartoon. The film came under fire from fans of the cartoon, upset that the voice cast from decades earlier was not hired, with further complaints personally directed against the biracial Perrineau for not being black enough.

In July 2014, Perrineau was cast in Drake Doremus's film Equals. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2015. Perrineau had a small role in the film Passengers, released on December 21, 2016. In 2018, Perrineau was cast as Giselle Hammond in the Blumhouse supernatural thriller film Truth or Dare.
