i just noticed it was actually the second time they worked together, the first was whiplash, so i'm sure she was stoked to work with him again because she would've appreciated his method-y tendencies so much. she dabbles in a little herself too so she was probably one of the people that let him get away with all sorts of shit because of it. she's generally fairly personable and goofy but also often cynical and mistrusting, absolutely cannot handle the idea of being second best and easily hurt - essentially a sensitive, delicate ball of emotions. she grew up with a cobain-esque father who died when she was 15 after years of drug abuse, was emancipated from her mother at 16 (though she still sells stories about tansy to the tabloids) and spent her childhood being carted back and forth from alaska to la due to her parent's very volatile relationship so needless to say she isn't really the most stable of people. she's very, very passionate about her work though, genuinely loves acting and can sometimes be on the verge of taking a little too seriously, she'll get frustrated if she feels like a cast isn't putting forward 110% effort. she's a good friend though, very supportive and generous with her time!
