I definitely need to find a new PB, as while the model I'd used before was a good fit, she just didn't have what felt like honest and open expressions. Most of her images came from photoshoots, and being fashion, are thus more interested in looking pretty than emoting anything. I think I am liking Angélica Celaya the most so far. She seems dragon-ish and does attitude well.
Kady: I think what I am hesitant about in playing her is how much of canon tends to be something like Hollywood frat party happenings. Most of the characters seem to always be looking to get high in one for or the other. Like really? The joke/analogy is just pushed too much, imho. Still, I don't have to play that much if I don't want to. Kady is actually on the fringes of the party and is more worried about getting things done anyway, so.
Farideh: I realized another appeal to her character is that she is something of a busy body/mother hen type. She kind of sticks her nose in and helps without asking permission, or even if the person wants the help, certain she knows how best to help. It's not so much she thinks she knows better, just that she can help. I think some of this is "I know better" as she's used to rescuing her sister from her impulsive nature. I don't think I've played a busy body type pup before and it might be an interesting thing to explore.

Date: 2018-03-13 06:40 pm (UTC)I'm glad you agree with the PB choice! I know canon is vague on details, but since the clan is supposed to be descended from Quetzalcoatl, I want to make a point of having her actor being at least Mexican if not Central American ethnicity.
ETA: Before I'd used Liliana Dominguez, who looked nice, but I didn't get much character feel from her.
