Category: Anime

Completed: 100%

Cost: $ US 120

Hours to Make: 10-20

First worn at: Jacon 2003

Inspiration: Jacon was a villain con, and I wanted to do a villain that was under-rated, not overdone, not from FF or KH, and who actually...isn't really a villain. Oh yeah, and wears purple.

Favorite Aspect: The wig. As soon as I got it adjusted it didn't slip back AT ALL, regardless of the weight from the ponytail. And the crown, even after it broke and I cried. ;_;

Least Favorite Aspect: Fake nails...Never ever again...

Easiest Task: Making the cloak, it was a simple 4 piece pattern that was all the same piece just reversed twice. The collar I designed myself, but I think it needs wire in it for further stabilization.

Hardest Task: Trying to work as con ops in the costume. I will never wear a costume to a con I am working at ever again. There are so many other things to do than cosplay, and there are so many other cons to cosplay at.
