Convention Panel Meme!

How To Play!
1. This meme assumes that all character canons don't exist in this reality. They've all been created for the show
2. Post with your character. You are now writing the character's "actor" in this strange meta-universe. Include their real name and a little bit about where they came from. Are they a fan favorite? A newcomer to television lucky enough to get their start on such a successful show?
3. Post anonymously (or not) to ask fan questions of other characters! Everything from the ordinary to shipping stuff to creepy and weird. Talk about the show, hint at characters' preincarnations and tease audiences about the crazy stuff future Echoes will bring. Talk about what actors you like to work with and who you can't stand to be around. Tell stories of pranks and shenanigans on set!
4. Or just do whatever you want to do. I don't know. I'm not your boss.
Vanessa Carter >> Kristin Jacobs
This is her first panel ever so she's sitting at the far end, giving a little wave and a few smiles here and there.
The chatter about her character is still split on where she's going. The initial talk of her having a cliche "dark and tortured past" still exists but it's diminished somewhat. Fan theories generally have her being some kind of assassin, but whether heroic or villainous remains to be seen.]
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about some of the stuff coming up for Vanessa. I can't really give much away, but she's going to start getting some really interesting powers as she discovers new metals and we're going to get a look into her past and her preincarnation's, which I think is a pretty great story.
[She laughs, grinning.] Plus, I get to do some totally badass scenes and who doesn't love that?
no subject
So, did you have to do anything in particular to get in shape for the role?
no subject
[That gets a laugh both from her and the crowd, because what even is that question?]
Yeah, totally, I've been down at the gym every day... pumping iron and stuff.
[More laughter and she just puts her face in her hands because what the fuck, she just said that. She recovers in a few seconds though, throwing an apologetic smile to the poor panel-person.]
No, but, some of the stuff we've been shooting recently involves a lot of stunts and I got to do some wire work so I've been trying to work on my balance. Like, the other day we're shooting this scene where Vanessa's supposed to be walking along the edge of a building, so they put me on this stage where I'm walking along this beam and there's a mat, like, ten feet down and the director's all "alright, now run over to the other side and don't look like you're about to fall and break your neck" and I'm all, like, "okay." And then I fell off five times in a row.
So... yeah, I guess that's it.
