What got you into cosplay?
As most people, I saw others at cons who were dressed up, and I thought it would be fun to cosplay as my favorite characters.
What was your first costume and why?
Asuka Langley- we are very similar both in looks and personality, and I have always had the urge to create this cosplay. Furthermore, it's a simple costume, so it was very easy to start out with.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Of course I have "pipe dream" cosplays that I'd love to do, but a realistic goal of mine is an Evangelion plugsuit.
Do you participate in masquerades?
No, I don't plan to for a very long time either. I'm still really inexperienced as far as cosplaying goes.
