What got you into cosplay?
My friend did it and when I went to my first anime convention (NYAF '07) it looked like fun so I decided to do it for the next convention I went to (AB '08).
What was your first costume and why?
Rebecca Chambers. When I first got into Resident Evil I noticed that I had her eye and hair color so I thought that it would be a good first costume. It also didn't require massive amounts of sewing like other costumes.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Rebecca Chambers, for a few reasons. Since we have a lot personality similarities it's easy to get into character and I tend to get mistaken for younger than I actually am so it also adds to the costume. It's also more unusual to see a Rebecca than most of the other female RE characters so I tend to get a lot of fans freaking out when they see me. ^_^
