As previously reported, Brea Grant joins the cast of Heroes for season three. She’ll play the role of Daphne, also known as “The Speedster.”

And just how will these speedy villain make her entrance?

“Anytime I come into a room, basically you see this wave of air blown on everybody and then I’m just standing there because I’m so fast you can hardly see me when I move,” the actress told Entertainment Weekly. “You meet my character for the first time when I steal something from Hiro that he needs for his quest this season.”

As long as that quest doesn’t take him back to feudal Japan, this sounds great to us.

Grant added that Daphne’s “interest is not specifically with Hiro… I think that’s why she’ll run into a lot more people — she’s feeling a lot of stuff toward someone else. That’s all I can tell you!”

In closing, the actress - last seen on the small screen on Friday Night Lights - said she’s currently shooting the sixth episode of the season.

“I start off pretty bad, but there are some times when I have to make choices, you know, you can be worse, you can be better,” Grant said. “It’s just this whole idea of being a bad guy. You’ll see some of your favorite characters have to do some things they don’t want to do.”

Let’s get one thing straight, before we hear what Brea Grant has to say about her new character on Heroes: she’ll be named Daphne, as opposed to previous reports that linked her to a character named Joy.

With that out of the way, here’s what else Grant told The Associated Press about her role in the upcoming season:

“I’m stealing a secret that’s been kept in Hiro’s family for a long time that he’s just now found… He stops time right as I grab it, but in that second it took him to grab it, I almost make it out of the office.”

Masi Oka chimed in about the character he’ll be facing off against:

“Her character is supposed to be Hiro’s Joker. Batman has The Joker. Hiro has Daphne. This is the season where Hiro finally finds his arch nemesis, and it happens to be this Speedster. I kind of equate it more to Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, except Daphne says more than ‘meep-meep.’”
