Delving deep into a mind as twisted as Misty’s can’t be easy, but Christina Ricci takes it in stride. She even had an answer ready for the reason her character chose that specific name for her bird. And it wasn’t because of the historical figure’s infamy.
“I believe that Caligula is named Caligula because Caligula is someone who has been maligned historically, but is actually not what that person is on the surface,” Ricci continued to a chorus of appreciation from her castmates. Ricci’s in-depth responses show how well thought out her character is, even if it may be uncomfortable. Misty has done some reprehensible things, but she always has her reasons. And that strikes at the heart of the character’s humanity. When asked what stood out as Misty’s wildest moment, Ricci even had a complex response. However, it doesn’t seem like her process is judging her character, and she views Misty with an open mind.

“I kind of get her logic, so I really do feel like most of her choices were incredibly pragmatic and made sense,” Ricci reasoned. Operative word “most.” Ricci amended that she wasn’t a fan of imprisoning people against their will, as Misty did in Season 1. But Ricci didn’t condemn her character’s other activities that would land Misty in prison. Girls will be girls, after all. And there would be no “Yellowjackets” without Misty Quigley.
