breakingdawnmovie Could you talk about what it was like the first time you saw yourself fully in costume? There are some wonderful studio stills that were released of you and Tracey [Heggins] together in costume.Yes, the first time I saw myself fully in costume was overwhelming. It was kind of hypnotic and you can’t stop staring at yourself in the mirror. It was just kind of overwhelming. I don’t think I’ve ever been in that position in my life, where I had so many people who are great at what they do, all come together and work on this project as one entity. It was really breathtaking. As it was happening with the costume tests and make up tests that when it finally came together, it was all of a process, and it was very rewarding.
Will we get to see some of Zafrina’s illusions in Breaking Dawn Part 2?
I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about that. [laughs] I mean, we know the character has a special power. I don’t know if I can talk about that to be honest. I’m so sorry.
Zafrina is very fierce, she’s kinda scary but she’s also got to be so soft enough to befriend this small child, and for people to let her around this young girl. How did you toe the line between the intensity that she had to have and also the softness?
I think what was so wonderful is she has a real animalistic quality. I really wanted to work with what that meant and tried a feral aspect. I definitely worked with animals and looked up the black jaguar, that kind of quality. Then with regards to Renesmee, I thought of it like in a way, parental. It was so great that I got to have that parental aspect, because you know vampires can’t really give birth. I was fortunate to have that kind of relationship with Renesmee that most vampires don’t have. I also think it came from a protective kind of instinct. I felt that Zafrina really stands up for family and the most important thing for her is family. That’s why she wanted to help the Cullens. It’s why Senna came with her, because her family is the most important thing in life.
How did you prepare for the role for Zafrina, like her backstory and also physically?
I did a lot of different things. Physically, I went to the gym a lot and ate more protein. I just really built myself up muscly, make myself a little bit stronger. Obviously, I was really blessed with my 6 feet tall and I have long limbs and a thin face, a lot of the characteristics that the character [Bella] mentions. Other than that, I watch almost every single vampire film I could get my hands on. I watched all the Twilight movies. I had a great opportunity to go through the books again. What was wonderful was that all the books were already on my bookshelf. I really got into what it was like to be a vampire. I came up with the idea that vampires have about 25% more of everything. They have 25% more hair. They have 25% more eyelashes. Just everything about them is a little bit more than human. I really worked from that aspect. I thought they could feel everything more as well. Almost like they can feel the wind more, and they can hear the sound. I used those kind of senses to go from.
You were a fan before you came to work into this. Who were you most excited to work with?
I was really excited to work with the whole cast because I’ve seen the movies before. Also, I was really excited to work with Kristen [Stewart], Bella. Because when you read the books, they’re from Bella’s perspective. I almost felt like I let Bella drive myself and I kinda been on that whole journey. It was so nice to meet Kristen and do scenes with Bella. I felt like a had with the part of Zafrina that I also had a real close connection with the Bella character. I think Kristen herself is wonderful. She’s like a little doll. She seems extremely generous and very intelligent. I think the characters of Bella and Zafrina have a interesting relationship because she’s [Bella] Renesmee’s mother. When another woman comes in and has a relationship with your own daughter, it always creates something strange between the mother and the other woman. I felt like my character had a special relationship with Bella as well.

Is there a scene that blew you away?I really did love the scene that you saw with the campfire. For a lot of us, it was our very first time on set. I remember being completely nervous. It was the first time we all got to see each other in character. It was the first time me and Tracey got to decide where we would stand, the type of movement we have to each other, how often do we look at each other. I felt like it was the first time on screen that those characters developed very early on in the story, where those characters are all together. For us as a unit as actors, it was one of our first times for us to all be together on set. I would probably say that. It was so beautiful and it was a campfire where stories are being told. It was very scenic, a very beautiful experience. Magical. Read More At Source
