Why did you decide to write your muse?
this is going to sound super cliche and dumb but i felt connected to her as soon as she came on screen during tfa. at the time the movie came out, it was really the only thing i found joy in. i actually talked to my therapist about how i feel so connected to her, and that i wasnt really sure why. but i really resonated with her story, being abandoned & feeling stuck on jakku, waiting for someone to come back for her. she told me that feeling trapped is typically a side effect of depression and it totally made sense lmao. ever since then i’ve just latched onto her. she gives me hope that someday i’ll have the strength to take control of my life & go on to do something amazing. i honestly just love her so much i can barely put it into words. i know there are a million and one rey rpers out there and usually i’d let that intimidate me away from portraying her, but she’s just different. she really is. i love her, and i love that other people love her.
i also grew up watching star wars, the universe is so HUGE which is why i love it so much, there’s always something new to learn! it gets to be a bit daunting at times but i love exploring it more than anything!!
