I’m a soldier. I volunteered. I’m not walking away.

I admired this character a lot. She’s tough and protective and she has a secret. There was just so much to play with. She’s kind of a bad ass as well, and I think I hadn’t had a chance to play a character like that in a movie of this ilk, you know? I was more than anything drawn to playing that part.

Rita Vrataski
↳ “They’re calling her “The Angel of Verdun”. She was able to kill hundreds of Mimics on only her first day in combat.”

_{I never approached Rita as a female action character, I just saw her as this lethal powerhouse who was pretty much the toughest person I’ve come across. She wasn’t this kind of butch woman, she had gotten to where she was by being savvy and intelligent and determined, and I think that’s what excited me – the spirit she had.
