Amanda Overton reflects on her transition from aspiring geneticist to storyteller, stating, "That is a very micro way to approach that... Whereas storytelling is a much more macro way to approach the question of why we are the way we are." This highlights her belief in storytelling's power to explore complex human experiences.
Overton discusses her role in developing the arcs for characters, particularly emphasizing the dynamics between Cait and Vi, expressing that, 'no one is happier than her about Cait and Vi.' This showcases her passion for character-driven narratives and the intricate relationships in Arcane.
In reflecting on her time in Arcane and the unique collaboration with a game company and animation studio, she notes, "It's been about six years since she was working on the show... and an eventful six years for Overton," indicating the transformative journey both personally and professionally.
Overton's growth as a writer is significant; she mentions moving from executive story editor to co-executive producer, stating, "...helping to run the writers room and produce the animatics for the second season." This progression emphasizes the multifaceted role she played in the show's narrative development.
