Xandra was approached by Jiggly after practice, just as @enigmatic mentioned she was approached, to take part in a film about females in football. Instead of responding, she had a flash of her inner introvert and freaked a bit. She darted off (because she’s really speedy from all those long morning runs she and Nax take) to think about the offer in peace.
The highlights of her story were pretty well documented on her wiki page already, and she had no doubt the production team would be able to find dramatic angles. Her main doubts revolved around how it is always a bit uncertain how these kinds of “breaking a glass ceiling” movies will be perceived. Sure, it will be great for all the young women like herself a few years back who need encouragement to follow their dreams. Maybe moreso, it will be great for their parents to see that it can be done and they should support their daughters. But, there will always be those parts of the fanbase who will grumble about how women shouldn’t be in this league, blah blah blah. Who was she kidding - there were probably fans somewhere already grumbing. But, never one to let them get to her, she crossed that off the list of reasons why she should not be profiled.
Another thing weighing on her, though, was how they would treat her tech background. As long as it was more Good Will Hunting than 21, that would be okay, she supposed...not that she could hold a candle to Matt Damon’s character in terms of smarts. One last large concern would be the editing/producing angle - she certainly did not want to be sexualized like every other female athlete. She decided to mull over these concerns a bit more before letting the Hollywood folks even consider invading her and her family’s privacy.
