What got you into cosplay?
Going to AWA for the first time. That was the very first convention I ever went to, and it was about my Freshman year in High School. I adored how a lot of the people dressed up as amazing anime characters, like Blue from Wolf's Rain (that anime was very popular here around that year) and Sailor Senshi's. From then on, I decided to try it out myself.
What was your first costume and why?
My first costume? I think that had to be Kouji from Digimon Frontier. He is one of my favourite characters because we both share the same past life, in a way.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favourite costume hanging around in my closet? That would be Rose from Full Metal Alchemist. Simple and yet it works.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
A LOT!!! *foam* I have a whole list, and I don't even want to get into that. But I would love to walk around as The Black Rose one day. Most says it would work for me.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Walking around as Takuya from Digimon at my school the week before Halloween (I know, I forgot what date it was on. *shot). Some randum person poked me and ran off squealing.
Do you participate in masquerades?
... not... that I know of?
Tell us a little about yourself
Yaargh... I am a senior in HS, graduating in May, then heading to Atlanta. I love to draw, it's like my life. I like to draw a lot of things like still life, but anime is one of my specialties. Who would have guessed?? XD!! We go up and down as far as family is concerned. We still have a pretty big family, even though my stepdad died not too long ago, but I still have my mom, two sisters, half-brother and another half-brother coming in May as well, haha. I seen to fool around A LOT!! I'm no pimp, and I'm no flirt, but people seem to think so. They know I have a girlfriend, but you know how friends are, I guess. I have wild dreams, some of which don't even include HS diplomas. Like bungey-jumping one day. And visiting Osaka. XD! But I do want to be an illustrator one day, with tattoo derawing on the side, mm-hmm. If I can, I also want to make a cos-play shop. No joke.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
My favourite anime include Digimon, Sailor Moon and Utena. Manga, in another case, is Azumanga Daioh, Hikaru No Go and Death Note. There are a lot more, but the list will go on. I'm not really into the "fad" anime (Naruto, Bleach, etc.). Sorry guys. I just turned 18, but I am really liking the old school thing, yo. XD Some of the new shows are cool too. Eureka 7 and Blood+ are good. Anime fans seem to really like games too, but I haven't played KH long enough to like it, and still haven't played FF yet, either. I like Tekken, Soul Calibur and DDR, although I have a few more steps to go before I become an expert at DDR and I am nowhere near one in Tekken, lol.
My favorite anime
Digimon: Digital Monsters, Sailor Moon, Death Note, Azumanga Daioh, Blood+, Love Hina, Revolutionary Girl Utena... the list is endless!
My favorite game(s)
Sonic the Hedgehog and DDR are my top two.
My favorite book(s)
The Chronicles of Narnia, His Dark Materials, Anything Ray Bradbury or Stephen King... knowing Stephen King having over 50 books, the list... is also endless.
