What got you into cosplay?
In a few words, my sister Lithele. She's been cosplaying years before I started, and honestly she's made all the costumes I've worn, with some help on my part to get it done. We both love anime, and we often love the same anime so we often know what the other is talking about in that arena.
What was your first costume and why?
Tomoyo Daidouji from Cardcaptor Sakura, the yellow spy outfit from ep 4 and 35, where the Watery and Firey Cards respectively are captured. CCS is one of my old favorites and so is Tomoyo. I used an image of her in that outfit as my avatar for a while, and obviously she's the source of my online alias. My sister said she'd make it for me a while back and that was the first one she got done in time for AX'07. :D
What is your favorite costume and why?
Right now it's the newest one, Prince Siegfried, or Mytho from ep 25 and 26 of Princess Tutu. I had more of an actual craft hand in this one for one thing, since I pasted the feathers onto the collar flap that my sister sewed on, as well as making the crown and sword basically on my own. (I still can't believe that sword held together!) I loved that outfit the first time I saw it in the show, and it's a dream to be able to wear it and show off the time when Mytho is at his most badass. XD It just looks so impressive, and I love how it turned out. It's also fairly comfortable! It just takes a little while to put on. :P
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I'm starting to learn to sew from my sister, so I guess it's safe to have a list of maybe-do-someday's here! (If I'm actually working on it it's already on the costume list :3) As follows: Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy, Davis/Daisuke from Digimon 02, Gwendolyn (princess dress) from Odin Sphere, [?]Giselle (curtain dress) from Enchanted
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
One recent incident was this very hilarious encounter with a protestor at the front of the con center at Fanime who was holding up a sign saying, "Turn to Jesus or Burn in Hell" and then....amidst exhuberant cheers, a Jesus cosplayer showed up. XD
But one that I was involved in? I suppose the Tutu gathering at AX'07. Everyone was very nice, and it was such a cooperative and amiable gathering we were able to take a lot of great shots thanks to the screenshots I brought with for reference. Funny thing was, I wasn't even in costume this time! My sister Lithele and Ladylore were here though dressed respectively as Romeo Fakir (vol. 6) and Princess Tutu. Later on we found out that one of the last epic group shots (thrown together spontaneously!) made it into Cosmode, on the top of the page. :O
Do you participate in masquerades?
Haven't yet, but I did sorta help my sister finish up a costume for a Masquerade skit called Death Note: the Musical (for AX'07 my first con actually!). If I had an opportunity, I'd like to!
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
No, not yet. (And besides *I* wouldn't be getting the award, considering my sister made most of them! :P )
Tell us a little about yourself
Still in school, and BUSY with it. XD;; My sister Lithele also cosplays (and she sews her own costumes). Besides that, I like anime, video games (RPGs and platformers generally), writing stories (long novelesque usually). I also really like science, technology and research. :D
My favorite anime
Princess Tutu, Dennou Coil, Digimon 02, Cardcaptor Sakura, Gurren Lagann, Revolutionary Girl Utena, My HiME...I've watched and liked quite a few more though!
My favorite game(s)
Persona 3, Odin Sphere, Tales of the Abyss, Final Fantasy X, Suikoden III, Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Kingdom Hearts...I've played quite a few more and liked them though!
