Adelaide Kane Describes OUAT's Drizella as 'High-Strung' & 'Slightly Ditzy'

We only have a few more days until Once Upon a Time returns on ABC and Adelaide Kane is teasing more about her character, Drizella.

“I don’t know if she’s evil, but she’s been a lot of fun to play,” the former Reign actress admits in a new interview with EW. “I’m in really, really cute clothes. My slogan for her is buttoned-up and b*****.”

Adelaide adds, “She seems like a very high-strung, slightly ditzy young woman and she’s just very petty. She’s kind of like that awful bully in high school except that she doesn’t know how to win people to her side so she’s just alone, snappy, snarky, sarcastic, and miserable all the time.”

“It’s been a lot of fun. I get some really fun lines where I can just snap back at people. I’ve been having a great time. She’s very funny. She’s the worst in a hilarious way.”

She also adds that she is the way she is because of the abuse from her mother, Lady Tremaine.

“Deep deep down, she’s been emotionally abused for years by an uncaring, negligent, controlling, obsessive mother,” Adelaide says. “There’s no softness to her.”

“She’s mostly just a bastard little girl in a grown woman’s body just lashing out at everybody who comes close to her, because she has no faith or trust in anything anymore and her whole world has just become keeping her mother happy, so her life doesn’t get any harder than it is.”

Once Upon A Time returns on Friday, October 6th.
