Hi. How are you guys today? Hello.
Good. How are you?
Very good. I'm enjoying your background.
That's amazing, you know. Isn't it so beautiful?
It really did look like that. Truly, truly.
That's amazing.
Living your best real life, I guess. Yeah.
She is like
because jus she's walking around in like Valentino
and stuff like this and we and the donkeys are wearing like school uniforms.
So just that's so amazing.
I was wondering if we could start then by talking a little bit
about your characters, starting with you, Daniela, and.
Yeah, well, it's so funny.
You bring up like the whole Valentino dress.
I mean, like having this whole experience with Melissa has been so interesting,
especially because obviously before we got to set,
I read the books and I had my idea of who Lissa was.
But, you know, it's so different when you actually get there
and you see everything.
And I feel like the wardrobe actually was a huge insight to who Lissa was.
Definitely because. Yeah, yeah.
Because when we got there, like I remember sonogram there.
She, she's, she was the head of costume and she, she did such an amazing job.
I mean, she created so many looks from of her from scratch
and the uniforms, I mean, it's so she found bodies in pieces as well.
And she would be like, no, this doesn't look intelligent enough.
This doesn't look like.
Except in Spanish. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She put on this bag and it was like so interesting because it,
it really gave me the insight of like, oh, this character isn't just this like,
princess, that, you know, is just, like, privileged and doesn't know anything.
It's like, no, she's actually really sharp and smart and thoughtful.
And it just it helped me with everything that would become Lissa
throughout the season, really.
And I think the, the esthetics and the costumes are also representative
and indicative of like the class structure and the difference between
different kinds of vampires and the richer and the poor and stuff like that.
So she sort of created an amazing contrast
and at first we saw them, it was like, Yeah.
And then as soon
as everyone was dressed in the costumes, we like amazing.
Incredible. She had the vision. She had the vision.
That's amazing.
Was there any that you kind of wanted to take with you?
But that outfit is now mine. I own it.
Oh, my God.
I mean, I remember there is there was a time where literally
the director and I and the writers, like we were just sitting there
trying to justify why would Lissa change three times?
Because the outfits were that good.
I was like, Oh, we need to use this.
Like, we have to use this somewhere.
Like, maybe she needs to change because this was in the end,
we didn't end up using it, unfortunately, but oh my God, she had so many outfits.
Her funeral outfit was one of my favorite.
Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it was so beautiful.
You know, that's amazing.
And I really enjoyed, like, the friendship of the two characters.
And I love the book so that that intrinsic female friendship kind of thing.
How was it just to sink your teeth into that so easy?
It was it was fantastic.
It was fantastic.
And Danny and I have great chemistry and like it just
when we're on set together and we're doing our scenes, it's
just kind of like back and forth and the energy is really there.
And I know that I and you really like appreciate that.
Basically with the girls, it's also a love story.
You know, when you have like like you're in love
with your friends and it's platonic, but you are in love with them.
I think that's the kind of bond that the girls share.
And then throughout the series, more stuff happens
and the bond just gets stronger and stronger and stronger.
And it's beautiful to see female friendship
like genuine female friendship like yeah, yeah.
Definitely passing the Bechdel Test.
Yeah, definitely.
And I feel like female friendships in our lives as well plays such a huge
role of what it is to be a woman and what it absolutely, you know.
Exactly.
And so it's like to tell a story like that of Rose and Lisa
that genuinely share a I mean, a bond and then a literal bond.
But, you know, that share this connection where it's like there
is this unconditional love beyond, you know, a relationship lover.
It's just yeah, it's something so unique.
And I feel that way in my personal life with my friends.
Like, this is such a unique relationship that I come and go.
But your best friends are forever.
Yeah, they are much more important. So
I would argue.
Yeah, men like to pit against each other, but female friend.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Well, thank you so much for talking with me today.
It's been an absolute pleasure and I can't wait for everyone
to see the show and enjoy the rest of your day.
Oh, thank you. Bye.
