When asked about her inspiration for the characters, she said, "For me inspiration-wise, it has always been able to draw from the real experiences, real people, make sure the characters look like real people, make sure they all come across as full-bodied human beings rather than a character that’s been 2D cut out or written on a paper. For example, if you see Farzaan’s character, we will know what happened in his life, it was the same for most of the characters and we gave them the back story. Hopefully, that’s why it is relatable and real."
