Quote from creator Echo Wu: “Sometimes finding your self-identity is coming face-to-face with your own demons. There are different layers to what that means. It rings quite true in Jentry. She’s trying to figure out what these powers mean to her. Are they part of her? Are they cursing her? You see this character trying to figure out who she is.”- creator Echo Wu, as told to Tudum
