Dolly de Leon breaks down her ‘Avatar’ twin characters

 — Actress Dolly de Leon gave a little insight into how she is portraying her characters in Netflix’s live-action series adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”

The streaming platform announced that Dolly was cast as Lo and Li, the non-firebending twin advisors of Princess Azula, portrayed by Elizabeth Yu.

Dolly told Philstar.com in an exclusive interview that it was personally important for her to take on the dual role, beginning with the fact that it is her first time playing twins.

“And to have that influence over the main antagonist, big deal para sa akin ‘yun,” Dolly said. The award-winning actress pointed out that Azula is not necessarily a villain.

“[They] helped shape Azula into the person she became, so malaking bagay para sa’kin ‘yun.”
