“Vanessa Ives is a very complex character, even though she's in the darkness most of the time, she was aiming towards the light,” Green revealed in the video. “Vanessa seems smooth on the surface but she has this fire underneath. She knows that she is kind of the devil's bride but just wait. She's too strong."
