When I was growing up, only the 'older' kids could play video games, so when I got my Nintendo I wouldn't let go of it. I don't think it was until my Playstation, that I really got into my passion for roleplaying games. I love the 3D ones, don't get me wrong, but a good 2D RPG really gets me going. That's what I really wanna cosplay.

As I got older, the more I wanted games that made me think. Or even movies that made me think. I picked up games like Silent Hill and Rule of Rose and loved them. I love movies like Fight Club, Lost in Translation and Run Lola Run for the same reason.

It was my love for the good old 2D games and my passion for a mystery that got me into tabletop gaming. Infact, I think I play DnD more now then I play video games. Because of this I plan alot of cosplays in this fashion as well.

I'm in school right now to get a degree in Theatrical Directing, I am minoring in Studio Art. During the school year, I stage manage shows and use costuming as my hobby to get away from it all. I also sew in the student costume shop for the mainstage theatrical productions. Anything I can to become a better seamstress. (Good at Props, still uping my Sewing Skill)

I also enjoy listening to local music and enjoying a good Carmel Latte or Guinness whenever I have a chance. Even if I didn't have a cosplay, I LOVE going to conventions. Especially gaming conventions. I'm into Mythology and Philosophy and I enjoy a good critique of movies and plays.

Not to mention I am HUGE nut for Gore Make-up! Weeee! :3

What got you into cosplay?
Wanting to be Harley Quinn for Halloween and people asking me to bring it to GenCon. I brought a SH nurse instead and it was so much fun making the kiddies scared that I had to keep doing it.
What was your first costume and why?
My first true cosplay was Harley Quinn. But I've been dressing up for years!
What is your favorite costume and why?
I really love my Robbie the Rabbit costume cause its cute, comfortable and it gets a good laugh out of my SH cosplay friends.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Freya Crescent. It would be a very hard task and I would not except anything less then perfect with the costume, so I am waiting to perfect it one day when I am more skilled.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Getting a 'thank you' letter from a few people on the Silent Hill Homecoming Developers team that they liked Daguru's and I's Siam Costume. A fan couldn't ask for anything more!
