“Sometimes finding your identity means facing your own demons. There are different levels of what that means,” creator Echo Wu explains in a statement to Netflix Tudum. “Jentry makes it sound right. She tries to figure out what these powers mean to her. Are they part of her? Do they curse them? You see this character trying to figure out who he is.”
