Before her success as an actress, Christie revealed she was an ordinary high school student bullied for her tall height and told she would never make it as an actress due to her "unconventional appearance." However, the actress chose not to focus on the bullying but instead allowed it to motivate her. Christie said:

"I'm really not interested in talking about the bullying; what I am interested in is transcending that because there is too much of an emphasis on suffering. We need to look at how we overcome it."

The actress related to her character's experience of being treated like an outcast in "Wednesday" and appreciated the freedom she was given to play her role. Gwendoline Christie also credited the show's hair and makeup department, saying, "It is the first time I have ever felt beautiful on screen."
