Twilight fans got a taste of what’s coming earlier this week when producing giants Summit Entertainment released their new character art for Breaking Dawn – Part 2 at Comic-Con.

I have to say, it was quite a thrill seeing British actress Judi Shekoni gracing the movie’s onesheet.

announced back in 2010 that the former top-model had landed a plum role opposite Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart playing the Amazonian beauty Zafrina.

Zafrina is described as someone that has lived outside of civilization for centuries, not attempting to keep up a human façade; she is among the oldest vampires in the world and a descendant of an ancient tribe.

Starring in Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is a far cry from her days playing ‘Precious’ in Britain’s top soap opera Eastenders, which launched Shekoni as a household name back in 2002, seeing her literally land the front-page of every tabloid on the shelf.

Suffice to say, the attention has lead her to good things, and hopefully she won’t have to go back to Albert Square anytime soon.

Judi told British Weekly, “Precious is dead, long live Zafrina!”

Fingers crossed that Judi is around for as long as Zafrina. Knowing this ambitious lass, I am sure she will be!
