Robins almost could have played an entirely different character in The Wheel of Time. In a Dec. 17 interview with People, the actress revealed she auditioned for the roles of Nynaeve and Egwene al'Vere. "I thought, 'Well, I want to get more skin in the game,' and so I auditioned for both. And it happened very, very quickly . . . I heard quite soon after that they were interested and that they wanted to see me again," Robins said, adding she eventually realized she was meant to play Nynaeve. "And then I jumped on a call with Rafe [Judkins], our showrunner, on Skype, back in the day when that was a thing, and we spoke for an hour about the world and Nynaeve and the show."
Robins said what she loves the most about her character is how "human" and "flawed" she is. "I actually haven't had the opportunity to get to know a character so intimately and spend so much time in their mind," she explained.
