Putting all cosplay aside, my current goal is to become a software engineer! I applied to University of Illinois, Purdue Univerity, University of Madison-Wisconsin, and Iowa State University. I have been accepted at ISU and am waiting to hear back from the others, but quite honestly I'm planning to just go to ISU because of the opportunities, reknowned quality of the engineers produced there, and it having one of the very few software engineering programs in the country. (Plus the people there are so, so nice!)

During the visit, when we were asked who of all the prospective engineers liked English, I was the only one who raised my hand >>;

But I'll do my best and have fun!

What got you into cosplay?
I just like dressing up as characters I love! It makes me like them even more.
What was your first costume and why?
My first actual costume was Makoto Kino from Sailor Moon in her school uniform, made for me by my mom because I really wanted to wear her clothes ^.^
What is your favorite costume and why?
My Yuna costume by far, because it took such a long time and I think it turned out very well. I adore my Yuna costume.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I'd like to do Angela Orosco from Silent Hill 2.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
When I was in my Eternal Sailor Jupiter, I was standing around at ACen talking to my friends when I just heard a squeal behind me and heard someone scream "OH MY GOD, IT'S SAILOR JUPITER!!" I suddenly saw myself there and how giddy I get when I see people as the characters I love, and she seemed to melt into fandom when she saw me and it made me feel really good ^//^
Do you participate in masquerades?
No, but they're a blast to watch.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I don't compete ^^; I just wear them for fun.
Tell us a little about yourself
I love video games and computer, work hard in school, and hope to become a software engineer.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Please feel free to contact me! I love meeting new people ^__^
