Been into animu since age 10, starting with Sailor Moon. It's had a big impact on me as well, especially with art and obviously cosplay. Used to do crossplays more than cosplays, but I've been sticking to more female characters. I go to as many cons as my budget allows, and hope to be attending college in the fall. I stick to cons in the Georgia area, but branch out to Florida and SC. Hopefully I'll be attending other cons such as MTAC and Katsu soon enough. :D

What got you into cosplay?
My very first cosplay was Kikyo from Inuyasha, and at the time, I didn't know that cosplaying existed...All I wanted was to dress up in Miko attire and prance around. It wasn't until a year or so later that I discovered cosplay. ^^ I guess what actually got me into it was the interesting idea of making an anime character's outfit. I mean come on, how many people do that? At the time, I thought barely any...Boy was I wrong. o_o
What was your first costume and why?
Kikyo. I love Miko fokus. That was all there was to it. :D
What is your favorite costume and why?
Now it would have to be Cosmo from the Fairly Oddparents. Everyone ran up to us and hugged us or sang the theme song as they walked by! xDD Plus our props were super accurate (At least I hope so...) and our crowns floated! xD Oh, and some people thought I was a guy, which made me happy~
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Even though it's uber simple, any character from the Harvest Moon franchise (especially 64 and BtN). Oh, and Bubbles from the PPG. xD
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Skipping on Saturday night at AWA 13... YourSpilledMilk and I were in our FOP cosplay and we skipped past the long line for the concerts (basically from the ballroom to the entrance to the Dealers' Room) and everyone cheered and yelled for us. o_o It was very funny and a lot of fun. So many people supported our cosplay! xD
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Best Group for Klan and Mikhail at Metrocon 2009. It's the only contest I've entered so far!
Tell us a little about yourself
Lifeguard. College student (soon enough). Cosplayer. Nice ya meet ya~! :D
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I like wig styling... o_o Not many people do. I also do props. I just love making them and receiving compliments for my hard work! <3
