The one with the little edge, that's always appealing to an audience.

Euston further detailed Rose's audition day, "When we saw her audition tape, she was exactly what we wrote for that character. As soon as I saw her on the screen I was like, got it! I also thought it was fun that she was from Australia, because there was a worldly twist."
