This was constructed for PandaChimp Productions' Escaflowne group at Otakon '03. I was originally slated to be Millerna, until I realized it seemed silly to have an Esca skit without the main character. While out shopping for costume supplies I found a perfect wig for Hitomi... and the rest is history.
I wound up enjoying myself immensely in this costume, and it's insanely comfortable. I gained a lot of respect for the character as well.
