What do you hate about cosplay?
Money for materials. I can always find a great sale, but having money at that time is always a challenge. Also, sewing machines. They are too fast for my liking, so I sew by hand.
What do you love about cosplay?
I love the fact that I’m not myself and I get to let go of all my frustrations to looking great in a costume.

As a side hobby, I voice act for multiple fan-made anime by the channel Flaming ACE on YouTube.
