Davis is really fierce in playing her character. Her character will always be on the gray area, when it comes to morality and how she defines right and wrong. Davis' character is as complex as her personality, in which, will keep the viewers guessing. Norwalk said that Davis' character is always going to be the center of the mystery in the show.

How to Get Away With Murder teaser reveals that the characters in the show are not who they seem to be and there will always be new twist and new plot to the series. Norwalk said, "I don't think the show is going to go in the first season where you expect it to go."

Davis said in an interview, "I dove at this role. I love the fact that she's messy and mysterious. She's not necessarily nurturing and 'Come sit on my lap so I can talk to you, baby.' She's a woman. She's sexual. She's vulnerable. I wanted a character that took me out of my comfort zone." She also added that she was drawn to the character because it is "messy."
