What got you into cosplay?
I saw pictures and videos of cosplayers on the internet, and thought, "Wow, I want to do something like that!" I also love sewing - I used to sew a lot of plushies before I started cosplaying.
What was your first costume and why?
Edward Elric (because I was an obsessed fangirl....)
What is your favorite costume and why?
At the moment, Yusei Fudo. He's such an awesome character, and I am really happy with how the cosplay turned out. He may not be so recognizable at conventions, but it's a lot of fun to wear.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Link from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Too many wonderful experiences! Anytime I cosplay with my friends at cons, there's bound to be something to add to the list of fun memories.
Do you participate in masquerades?
All the time! :D
What was your best masquerade experience?
Either Anime STL 2009 or Ikkicon 2009
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I got 4 awards with my Yami cosplay (2 of them Judges awards with other members of my group, and one award for my wig. My friends and I also got "best overall skit" at Naka-kon, but it wasn't for anything craftsmanship related) 1 award as Fai (with my Tsubasa group) 1 award as Yusei (with my boyfriend as Jack) and 3 awards as Haou Judai (with my boyfriend as Yubel!Johan)
