just wondering why you use Charlize Theron instead of Gwen? since she is the canon FC.

                                 oh captain !  my captain !     hello nonnie   so i’ve sorta answered this before but i’ll elaborate more here for you.  honestly, for the sake of diversity, i elected to utilize another actress that i do not see used often in the rpc. at least in this realm. gwendoline is wonderful but i’m always striving to be different, to find that thing that parts me from others that write phasma as well.  and before people get on me about changing my faceclaim so that she is more aesthetically pleasing, they need to sit down and chillax.  gwendoline is beautiful and i used her on my old phasma blog all the time unless there was an au where i allowed myself some creative liberties. i think it was a way for me to shed my old blog and start anew as well, to part myself from the character i built two years ago and played for quite some time. 

                                        true facts, before we knew anything about phasma, i had her as a distant tarkin descendant, weaponized by lady tarkin and gifted to the order as revenge for losing wilhuff on the first death star. but instead, disney gifted me with something fresh and new for her story and background which has caused me to alter a lot of her previous tarkin based headcanons.
