What got you into cosplay?
When I started watching anime, I was really taken with the character designs and aesthetics and I thought it would be really cool to dress up as certain characters for Halloween and whatnot. Later on, I found out people actually did this as a hobby, learned to sew with the help of mi madre, and it took off from there.
What was your first costume and why?
That would be Sailor Neptune way back when I was 12. My mom made it for me since I didn't know how to sew at the time.
However, the first costume I actually made myself (and actually knew what cosplay was) was Twilight Suzuka from Outlaw Star.
What is your favorite costume and why?
It's always changing. I really love my Esther costume because I'm a huge Trinity Blood fan and I freakin' love Esther as a character. It's also my most intricate costume to date and the one I put the most work into. I also love cosplaying Chii - I get some of the best reactions from people when I cosplay her.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
My dream costumes keep changing. Right now, it would have to be Queen Esther Blanchett from Trinity Blood -- the gigantic white and red ball gown.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
It's a tough call. Every convention I go to yields a great deal of funny, cute, and even downright bizarre moments. In the beginning, getting stopped for pictures was a real novelty, and the reaction from others (along with the funny stories) is kinda like a drug that keeps me motivated during those times when I'd like to throw in the towel.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Only a couple so far, but it was an awesome feeling and I'd love to be in more skits.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
A few.
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm a graphic design student at Flagler College who likes to sew and cosplay whenever time allows. I'm very quiet and sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get me to talk, but I really do like meeting new people. ^^
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Oh, you touch my tra-la-la ... mmm, my ding-ding-dong.
My favorite anime
Outlaw Star, Trinity Blood, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Angel Sanctuary, Fruits Basket, Kaleido Star, Hellsing, Eureka Seven, Code Geass, NANA, Evangelion, etc...
