What got you into cosplay?
A friend.
What was your first costume and why?
Ninamori because I really wanted purple hair and it was easy.
My first real costume was Sora because it was a challenge and my friend who introduced me to Kingdom Hearts asked me if I wanted to be the Sora to her Riku.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite was Crisis Core Aerith because I look just like her, and it was a cute costume. Also, I like wearing the costume parts on normal days, because it's basically normal clothes.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
AFO 2007.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Yes.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Oh, I've had too many.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
For Sora, "audience favorite" at Chibicon.
For Reno (in a group), "audience favorite" at AFO.
I'll get a real award one day.
Tell us a little about yourself
I was the president of the Anime Club at my high school for junior and senior year, then I graduated.
I am enrolled at University of Central Florida, hoping to major in Journalism and minor in Studio Art. I start my classes in the fall, and I will be moving to Orlando in early August.
My hobbies are all in the arts. I sing, write, paint, draw, sculpt, take pictures, and play around in photoshop.
I would like to be a professional cosplayer, but who here wouldn't?
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I want to eventually write an essay or a nonfiction book about cosplay and convention life.
