How long have you been a cosplayer?
I have been cosplay[ing] for a little over 4 years now.
What got you into cosplay?
I got into cosplaying because of my little cousin Koda. They wanted me to dress up for a movie we saw and I just haven’t stopped.
Do you make, buy, or is it a combination?
Most of the cosplay I have are thrifted and I just alter them myself. I do also buy my cosplays. I prefer to get them second hand and put my own spin on them.
