1. Character Immersion – She focuses on fully understanding her character’s psychology, often diving into their backstory and emotions to bring authenticity to her roles.
2. Emotional Authenticity – She has mentioned in interviews that she prefers a naturalistic approach, drawing from real emotions rather than over-rehearsing.
3. Physical & Voice Work – For demanding roles like Skade in The Last Kingdom, she trained in body language, dialects, and even combat techniques to embody the character fully.

5. Versatility & Challenge-Seeking – She actively seeks roles that push her boundaries, from historical dramas to psychological thrillers.
