No offense to the great Patricia Tallman, the fantastic actor and stunt person largely known for her work on Babylon 5 as well as the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. The wide eyes just seemed an odd choice.

Also Patricia Tallman:
She was a recurring guest on B5, and there was a point where she felt like a regular. It’s weird that she was an extra, first and foremost.
Yup. In the pilot, but not a regular until season 4.
In Star Trek she frequently had small roles because she did stunt work. Most of her characters die.
In Babylon 5, she was always intended to be part of the main cast. The role was actually written for her specifically. It was only because of executive meddling that her character was replaced after the pilot.
That’s why she feels like a main character even before she gets a spot in the opening credits. Her character is filling a vital role in the story, one that was always meant to be there. There’s none of the awkwardness that comes with shoehorning in a new character and trying to make them fit like you get with the early Sheridan episodes, or basically all of Ezri on DS9.
