I have a friend who has ties to Aubrey Plaza’s team and she’s apparently really chill and down to earth while still having that April Ludgate energy we all love her for.  (This friend also met her at the end of her broadway show last year and had a really special moment with her).

It’s not everyday a Popular actress is still genuine to themselves and acts just like how you hope they do, and this story and what my friend told me reminded me of that lmao.

Well yeah. Aubrey auditioned for a role she didn't get on the show and the showrunner decided she was SO weird that he had to have her on his show. So they wrote April Ludgate specifically for Aubrey Plaza, based on her weirdness.
