Michelle stars as the honorable sword-elf Scian in Netflix‘s The Witcher: Blood Origin.
“I think Henry did such an amazing job,” she said, adding: “Let’s see what Liam has to bring, right? That’s how it is,” she told E! News.
She added that she “loved” wearing her character Scian’s look, which included colored contacts, “ghost-like” tattoos and elf ears.
“All of them have a meaning,” she said of the tattoos.
“The ones on the forehead say, ‘Promises made shall not waver.’ It’s all with intention. Her tribe was one that believed in true loyalty. When you ask a favor from the Ghost Tribe, you should be very clear why you are doing it, because all deeds don’t go unnoticed.”
“I get to play an elf, and you don’t see an Asian-looking elf running around a lot,” she continued.
“I love this whole world of magic and monsters and defeating them, but I also wanted to learn why there were these monsters. In Blood Origin, you’ll find out, and it was a really exciting journey to be a part of.”
The Witcher: Blood Origin premieres December 25 on Netflix. Watch the trailer!
