In aCollider Forcesinterview withPerri Nemiroff, Mendes-Jones went deep into the creation of Rennas backstory inThe Wheel of Time.
Mendes-Jones revealed, “I thought the toughest part would be, ironically, convincingly making her hateful.

I had to justify, like really justify everything she does to myself.
Otherwise, I dont think I could play her as someone who knew that she was doing bad.

I dont see the problem, really.
I dont really get why everyone hates her, but okay.'
It was never gonna not be there.
Its cooked in, I dont need to push those buttons.
So, she sees Egwenes strengths and her power as a jewel in a crown for herself.
