What got you into cosplay?
My friends were doing it. And it seemed better than drugs.
What was your first costume and why?
I'd say Shampoo since she's what I wore to my first Anime Expo, but actually I used to dress up as Rydia when I was a little kid. I had a bright emerald-green sweater of my mom's that fit me as a tight dress, and a green cape that my mom made for me.
What is your favorite costume and why?
I don't think I have a favorite costume, just favorite pieces: my hooves and tail, my fused shadow, my Verse song wheel . . . remembered that I threw the wheel out because I had no place to store it . . . );
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Metal Gear Solid 4 Screaming Mantis.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Midna. And the aftermath.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Not yet.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Tied for 3rd place, Blizzard Halloween costume contest.

Just quit my job to go to school full time and get a master's in nursing. Happily married for a whole year now! Practicing lucid dreamer.
My favorite anime
At one time I was completely obsessed with anime, but no more. Now I'm really just a gamer. But I will watch something if it's cool. I wouldn't mind re-watching Cowboy Bebop, Utena, Evangelion, Tenchi, and probably others that I can't think of right now.
My favorite game(s)
Dragon Quarter, Tactics Ogre, Xenogears, Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasies IV and VI, Chrono Trigger, Suikodens I and II, City of Heroes, Fallout 3, Oblivion, and many more.
