Characterization
Ana Lucia was planned to start as a tough character, because that is what the audience would expect, then the layers of the character would be gradually peeled back.
Rodriguez described Ana Lucia as an "animalistic type creature... tamed by the Island."
They reconstructed the character slightly to fit what they liked about Rodriguez, such as making her more "street smart" with a "speak-her-mind quality."
Ana Lucia made her first appearance in the penultimate episode of season one, in order to set up her character becoming part of the cast in the next season.
All Rodriguez was told about her character was both she and her mother were in the police force.
Ana Lucia's style of leadership deliberately contrasts Jack's; Jack is a reluctant leader, whereas Ana Lucia quickly takes charge on her own.
In her early appearances, Ana Lucia is shown to be very tough, so the flashbacks in "Collision", where it is revealed she lost her baby, were used to show a softer side to her.
