That was hard at first, portraying Ana this way. Because she is a sweet little girl, who wants her sister's love. After I got into it, it became easy. I wanted to explore both sides of her. Where at home, Kyla is like the first kid, where they make all the mistakes with, then shove her aside because they got one better, and know how to properly parent this time. That was heart breaking for me too, exploring the fact that her mother is an adult mean girl, and her dad would rather buy her love than apologize. They create the issue with Ana. Then at school, she is the co-queen of the school, get the hell out my way or be trampled. There she has the control and people are too scared of her to stand up to her.

Through this, my intention was to show there is more to Kyla than just the face she shows at school. I mean, people don't just wake up one morning and decide to treat people the way Kyla does. How she is as vice captain of the cheer squad is like three years in the making. From the moment Ana came home.
