I did that once with Meredith, back at the beginning, because I made a terrible judgment call with her the first go round. I sometimes wonder about Alana, just because it was a canon point chosen for sheer convenience, but I don't think I really could have brought her from any other point without complicated Hannibal's presence in Darrow too much. Other than that, no. They all feel pretty right, and I love so much the progress I've made with all of them.
Thank you! His canon is an incredibly difficult one, but I fell in love with his voice immediately. Tawni O'Dell is such a phenomenally talented writer and he's so vividly written. And that's what I love best, is that very specific voice. It can be intimidating, but there's something very raw about Harley. He's extremely volatile and emotional but also close to the chest. He deceives himself. He hides things from himself. And I love playing with that, the unreliable narrator aspect and the violence in his mind and his self-loathing and repressed trauma. Which sounds horrible, but it's just a lot of to work with. He's so fascinating and sad, and I enjoy that. I've never played someone even remotely like him. But at the same time as being interested in what his traumatic past means for how I play him, I'm also loving getting to remove him from that and letting him slowly, slowly learn how to be more comfortable with who he really is in his heart.
