Ro felt forced on the viewers and there was a lot of narrative pressure on her. Kira was written to be a bitch and she was a bitch, but it worked because Nana Visitor understood the assignment. She played a young woman caught up in a brutal occupation who never had time for much else. Kira was also a lead role, so lots of pressure. Leeta is a different animal because you could tell Chase Masterson was just happy to be there. Leeta ended up being a really fun and interesting character, but there were basically no expectations for her from the beginning.
