What got you into cosplay?
Honestly, it never really occurred to me to *not* cosplay. Before I went to my first anime convention, my friends asked me to help them with Shinsen Gumi cosplay. "Sure!" I responded, and I've been cosplaying ever since.
What was your first costume and why?
Shinsen Gumi-version Saitoh from Rurouni Kenshin. It was my favorite series at the time so when my friends asked me to do group cosplay, I obliged.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite costume is Chise from Saikano. Saikano is probably one of my favorite series so being able to cosplay as the lead character was amazing.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I have a lot of dream costumes in my "To Do" folder; hopefully I'll get around to all of them at some point!
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
I have an amazing friend who's always willing to do paired cosplay with me, and since I've met him, I have new gusto to be better. Just having someone by my side made my most recent con experience (NDK2006) the most fun I've had in YEARS.
Do you participate in masquerades?
I've only done one masquerade before, during my first convention. Since then, I've been on the reporting side of things so I haven't gotten to do a lot of "fan" stuff.
Tell us a little about yourself
I just finished a bachelor of science in biomedical engineering from Brown University. Starting Fall 2006, I'll be at UC Irvine working on my PhD in cancer biology. As for hobbies, I love sports, especially hockey. I'm a diehard Colorado Avalanche fan, and when I'm not playing ice hockey, I'm watching it.
