Ivana Baquero Says 'The Shannara Chronicles' Was A Challenge At First

Ivana Baquero looks cute and fun in her feature for NKD Magazine!

The 23-year-old actress dished on her role in The Shannara Chronicles, her first television show!

“It was a challenge at first because she starts off doing things that are easily judged. Her behaviors were a little bit, you know, rough. She didn’t trust Will so she would do strange things,” Ivana said. “She grew up in a very tough, hostile atmosphere, she was abused as a kid so you really understand where she comes from.”

“I grew so fond of her, and it’s my first TV show so having the opportunity to play a character for so long versus the cinema or movies where you play a character for two or three months, I’ve now played Eretria for a good, solid year,” she continued. “I feel really connected to her. There’s so many things we have in common.” But the fans couldn’t be more shocked when they meet Ivana in real life. “I look so different from her, and I sound so different. People see me in person and they’re like ‘Oh my God! You’re Eretria! You look so sweet and little and cute! You don’t look like her at all you don’t act like her!’”
