			* Gale drew personal inspiration for the role, particularly in Elosha's relationship with President Roslin. "I loved the idea that Elosha is Laura’s spiritual guide," she explained. "In a way the role gave me a chance to honor the nun who was once my spiritual advisor... She was this tough old broad... so she understood why things happened in people’s lives a lot more than some other people in the spiritual world."<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|page=134}}</ref>

	*According to Gale and her readings of various scripts, Elosha had been a "wild child" and a "juvenile delinquent," and as such was given a choice between reform school and the monastery. She chose the monastery, where they "do a lot of drugs," i.e. [[Chamalla\|chamalla]]. She also relates that Elosha knows the scriptures inside and out.		*According to Gale and her readings of various scripts, Elosha had been a "wild child" and a "juvenile delinquent," and as such was given a choice between reform school and the monastery.
