When and how did you get started in Cosplay?
• January 2012 at a small local convention, it was just a closet cosplay.

What was your first Cosplay?
• Misa Amane of Death Note liveaction version

What was the most difficult character?
• By far the most difficult character that I’m working on with is Female mage Hawke from Dragon Age 2. It needs a lot of crafting and sewing in the costume.

What characters are you planning and type of character are you drawn to?
• The characters that I am currently working on is Hawke from Dragon Age 2 and Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn. I am really drawn to female video game characters than anime or movie characters because for me, you could really feel as if you were really the game characters you are cosplaying. It feels like its easier to Role Play video game characters than those that are not.

What is your process when starting from the beginning with a new cosplay?
• First of all is Planning. I gotta have a goal or something in mind to achieve what or who I want to cosplay as before even starting everything, having to get to know the character really well. Next is gathering the materials that I need to start crafting the costumes. Searching for the right materials, paint, textile, etc. Then next is making the costume itself, forming craft foams, sewing the textiles, painting the parts of the costumes, and many more stuff to do. Once the costume is done, I then do a makeup test that matches the characters look, practice the character’s personality, and then I’m done!
Are there any helpful hints in sewing, costume design or any other aspects of your cosplay that you discovered in doing your creations?
• Research articles and tutorials online from different cosplayers and crafters. Don’t be afraid to experiment or mix-and-match your materials, fabrics, textiles, paints and etc. Learn different ways and techniques on how to make this certain part of the costume. And lastly, learn from mistakes. There’s always room for improvement 😊

Do you have a preferred brand of makeup in your cosplay? And if so why?
• I usually use various brands of makeup, but the most striking brands is Cos2/CosCos, BYS and Maybelline brands

What are you listening to?
• Usually game OST music, Rock music, Jap-Rock, Pop music and various

Favorite Movies?
• DOOOOGGGG MOVIIEEESSSSS!!! Hachiko, A Dog’s Purpose, Megan Leavy, etc. And Marvel Universe movies, Superhero movies, Classical movies (Titanic, etc.)

Favorite Animes?
• Jigoku Shoujo series, Gintama, Digimon series, DeathNote, Attack on Titan, RWBY, and various

Favorite TV Shows?
• Game Of Thrones, Riverdale, Stranger Things

Is there a scene from a anime, cartoon, movie or tv show that left a big impression on you and what was it?
• The game Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 had me in tears so much that I couldn’t even sleep because of so much emotions getting mixed up. Especially in that scene where Commander Shepard had ended the war between Geth and Quarians with just shouting xD lololol and the scene where EDI could feel humanity in her system before the final battle. So much emotions in that game. Good Job Bioware

Books?
• Nicholas Sparks novels, Sidney Sheldon novels, the book Sybil, also article books such as Forensic Science and Psychology books

Games?
Ohh I have a lot to mention on this section xD haha here goes:
• Mass Effect 1-3 (because Andromeda sucks d**k)
• Dragon Age series
• Monster Hunter World, Portable 3rd, Freedom Unite
• Final Fantasy I, VI, VII, Crisis Core, VIII, IX, X-X2, XIII, XV Dissidia Duodecim and NT
• Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• Assassin’s Creed series
• The Last of Us
• Tomb Raider and Rise of The Tomb Raider
• Nier Automata
• Onmiyoji
• Dynasty Warriors series
• God Eater Burst
• Harvest Moon series
And the list goes on with games that I’m anticipating right now xP

Beverage?
• Coffee and Green Apple soda

Fast Food/ Junk Food of choice? 
•Potato Fries or Chips with barbeque or wasabi flavor

Candy bar?
• Airheads blue Raspberry, Nestle Chocolate Crunch, Starburst

Favorite Breakfast cereal? 
• Fruitloops and Coco Crunch
Is there something not going on in the cosplay world that you would want to see or is there something you would want to change?
• A community that’s free from toxic criticisms and race or body shaming. I’d like to see people just coming together for the sake of having just the same interest and fandoms. A ccommunity where there are more people encouraging each other than comparing who did this and that better

What was your favorite toy growing up?
• Uno Cards, Jengga, Dolls

Who is your biggest character crush and why?
• Fenris from Dragon Age 2 

You enter a warehouse. There is little light, but you are able to find your way around. The sound of music draws you to a corner of the warehouse. There are FIVE GHOUL CLOWNS, playing a dancing video game. They have razor sharp teeth and scary weapons. Magic can not affect them; they sense your presence and turn facing you. They run to you to attack. Time to fight! What character would you want to be to defeat them and how would you handle the situation? 
• If I can’t use magic against them, I’ll use it on me!!! Cast superspeed or teleportation

If you had to be chained with a character for one year, what would be the character and what would you do?
• I guess it would be Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn xD would love to hunt machines with her, or cosplay her even

You can have dinner with your favorite character. And at this dinner you may ask one question. Who would be the character and what would be your one question?
• To Commander Shepard (destruction Ending of Mass Effect 3) : “So was that your last breath of yours mean that you are alive or dead?”

What's number 1 on your bucket list? (Something you want to do before you leave the planet).
• Travel and Cosplay in different parts of the world!

What advice would you give to people getting started in Cosplay?
• Enjoy what you love doing, don’t let anyone stop you or tell you what to do or what not to do with the things you love doing, don’t bring down or step down on other people for your selfish motives, and lastly, just believe in yourself that you can achieve your biggest dreams because dreams do come true.
