When it comes to describing Zhilan, Chapman said her character is "uninhibited, she's vile at times, she's alluring, but with all of that she's also really heartbreaking and very, very much human. She might be seen as a villain by other, but to her, she's also very much so the hero of her own story.^[2]
Chapman further mentioned how she loves that Zhilan is such a badass, and that she's "having so much fun playing a villain because "I get to do things and think things and get into a psyche and way of motivation that I would never, never do in my day-to-day life. And I get to wear clothes that I would never wear in my day-to-day life".^[2]
