Rusanen’s character is an energetic, popular teenage student, who dances, sings, plays sports, paints and takes part in all the student body activities. The character’s mother, Maria, is a successful psychiatrist, in charge of a private treatment facility.[2] Due to problems in her love life, the character Iida suffers from anorexia; following an ankle injury in real life, Rusanen began to suffer with hypothyroidism, which led to the conclusion of her anorexia storyline due to weight gain.[3] Rumours of pregnancy were denied by the actress herself, who admitted to gaining 30 kilograms.
Due to health issues, Rusanen had to take sick leave in 2016. The actress Pinja Kanon filled in for her, and then in 2017 Kanon played the role of Iida Maria Mustonen on a permanent basis.[4]
