What got you into cosplay?
I saw a really Amazing Dilandu at AFO2 and I thought, "That's what I want to do!" Not that costume, but to portray a character so perfectly it would look like they popped right out of the screen.
What was your first costume and why?
Sora from the Escaflone movie, because I loved the movie and the characters song was so sad yet so pretty.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My Can Can Dawn costume. That things a blast to wear. Also my Setsuka, that thing's my baby. I put soo much work into it.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
More than I can list
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Wow there are just far to many to list.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Yes
What was your best masquerade experience?
Afo 3 was great, because that showed me coming full circle, from being inspired at that same con a year ago, to me taking my first award in a competition. Best Intermediate. I'd also like to note that the Dawn Contest at dragoncon is the best run contest I have ever participated in.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
A few, I like to get something for all my hard work so I do compete whenever I can.
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm going to school for Fashion design. I hope to someday work in the Movie Industry making costumes.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
This account will showcase costumes I've made and also the Photoshoots done by me and my boyfriend, Alex McClung. He takes the photos and I do all the retouching. He'd rather have them on my account than create his own.
