What draws you to create a specific cosplay? Is it the
costume design or the character?
I have some designs that I really like to sew. For example,
I love making skirt and dress patterns for female charac-
ters, and I recently really got into makeup and wig styling.
Sometimes friends ask me to join their group and I am
usually left with 2 or 3 choices of characters. I would have
to go for taller characters if in a group, as being 5’ 7”, I am
usually the tallest in my friend circles (haha). When I go to
an event alone or want to do a photoshoot/studio series,
I go for a character that fits either my personality or
ethnicity; i.e. I cosplay a lot of blonde characters,
German and Russian characters.
Which cosplay characters have been your favorite
or turned out the best?
I really loved Elisabeth von Wettin (Sound Horizon,
Märchen) which was the first full dress I made; it took me
several months to get it right. Another one I really liked on
me was Makoto Kikuchi (The Idolmaster).
