Editor's Note: Around the 8:30 mark, we begin discussing the actor playing the role of Renna, and it is brought to our attention that they prefer he/they pronouns, although they are playing a confirmed female character. Our usage of she/her pronouns after that were specifically talking about the character - not the actor - and we wanted to make that clear in case it seemed as if we were misgendering actor Xelia Mendes-Jones. That was not our intention.
