What got you into cosplay?
Well... what got me into cosplay was basicly my mom, and a friend of mine, iiyuurikoii, who cosplayed. Well she invited me to attend a convention with her, Katsucon 7, and my mom made one of my costumes, and she kinda tought me how to sew. That was the last time she made a costume for me and it was not all that good but I have fun anyway. It just kinda stuck, I had so much fun that I cosplay two-three times a year and I will be cosplaying for years to come!
What was your first costume and why?
I had two first costumes that I took to Katsucon 7. They were Pink from Ranma 1/2 and Wakaba from Utena. I cosplayed as Pink because I like the character and she was easy to make in a way, I was also going to have a Rink but she never showed. I also cosplayed Wakaba because Candie (iiyuurikoii) was going as Utena and she wanted me to go as Wakaba so I had my mom make the costume.
What is your favorite costume and why?
I have A few My Zelos costume because He is my fav. character, I worked hard on the costume and its just down right fun to run around as him. My Josephine costume Beacuse that thing is a labor of crazy sick love... uncomfy, but its the best thing ive done im my eyes, despite the flamboantness of it.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Hum... My dream costume that I would like to make would be Rune's dragon armor from Dragon Knights.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
All the long term friends I have made though the years at photoshoots.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Not as of yet, but I am working on it. I have stage fright so Im working on it...
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Nope, never competed.
