She likened the process to a theater audition and felt comfortable with her work, but she was surprised at her hiring. To prepare for the role, Robertson studied the movements of animals as she found Dimitrescu to be "catlike". She also took inspiration from the works of Shakespeare.

In 2023, she landed her second major role in the role-playing video game Baldur's Gate 3 as Orin the Red, one of the game's three villains.
