I see her as a survivor. In many ways, she does exactly what all other characters on the show do. And quite often she does things that – if she were male – she would be lauded for. So, for me, it’s so refreshing to play a female character that does not have to be likeable. Why does she need to be likeable? Nobody else on this show does! She has to survive. And so she does the things that ensure her survival. That’s it.
