Tran recalled that the initial character breakdown for Rose Tico was
vague — “Something like, ‘Any ethnicity, character-y!’” — so she walked
into the first audition wearing a sweater vest and her lucky Ravenclaw
tie. “All these other girls were in tight black and I was like, ‘Oh no! I’ve done this wrong! I’ve done this wrooong!’” she laughed.
