Montoya is a by-the-book honest cop, who doesn't know her girlfriend's secret underworld life, and her integrity is the one thing that gives Harley Quinn pause about her action

Fans of the fiction podcast will know that one of the early jokes in the show is that EVERYTHING on the Starship Q Star is supposed to be pink. The uniforms, the walls, the floor - "like travelling through space in an intergalactic flamingo" Now for audio? This works fine. But when we put an image of our characters in pink uniforms against a pink background? It didn't look so great on screen. So we tried A LOT of combinations to try and convey the ridiculousness of what the ISA had designed for the crew. But in the end, as we don't have time in 3 minutes to make the way the Bridge looks part of the joke - we went with something a bit more muted! We love the combo we ended up with - but here are some of the wilder alternatives designer @kateemoon tried before we decided on the one you see in the show! #animation #animated #backgroundart #backgrounddesign #animationbackground #wlwshows #wlw #illustration #freshbloodabc #freshblood #queer #lgbtqia #fictionpodcast #audiodrama #scificomedy #adultanimation"".
