Using her as a narrator allows the story to read like an account specifically written as a primer for humans on the gargoyles.

Elisa is our human connection to the gargoyles.

This also accounts for the slightly darker tone of the comic series, which I personally find very enjoyable. This is appropriate as show creator Greg Weisman has cited Hill Street Blues as an inspiration for Gargoyles in his notes in the later Gargoyles comic series published in 2006 by Slave Labor Graphics.

She’s on the docket to direct episodes of the upcoming Wheel of Time series as well. My girl crush on Salli Richardson-Whitfield, the voice and truthfully, model behind Elisa Maza, persists well into adulthood, especially as she has continued working on genre shows and films, such as playing the lead, Allison Blake in SyFy’s Eureka and has sat in the director’s chair on episodes of Netflix and Marvel’s, The Punisher and Luke Cage.
