When Joel and I began discussing the character, I realized there is a woman behind the legend who is very fascinating, very uncompromising, and in her own way, almost vulnerable. She&#8217;s someone who doesn&#8217;t belong in this world, and since everyone I know feels that way about themselves, the character clicked for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sounds very Whedonesque.
