Robertson says that perspective allows her to see Orin as, at heart, a vulnerable creature who misreads tenderness because brutality is all she knows — and, she admits, she “has a lot of fun” indulging the character’s cruelty.

A shapeshifter propelled by bloodlust, Orin is an engine of chaos. Her talent for mimicry is formidable, but she frequently sheds her disguise in the heat of her malice, exuberantly revealing her true self — a trait that gives Robertson and the game’s writers rich material to explore darker impulses.

That approach is familiar to Robertson: she often voices antagonists, including Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village and Lady Nicastro in The Lamplighters League. For her, the secret to portraying these figures convincingly is finding sympathy for their viewpoint.

“You can’t simply condemn them,” she says. “You have to view them with compassion to truly grasp their motives and who they are.”
