She goes through this massive transformation and changes her appearance to feel more powerful, but she realizes her inner insecurity is still there. Relationships are what actually help her grow the way she wants and make her feel stronger. That's what I learned from her. I mean, I've been playing this role for five years. During those formative years, I went through this too, especially since so much of my life is online and I'm constantly looking at myself.
