This week we’re shining our spotlight on Ohio cosplayer Spoon, AKA Spoonthief (she/they)!
How long have you been a cosplayer?
For about 9 years now, I started in 8th grade!
What got you into cosplay?
One of my friends invited me to a local convention and I was really inspired by all the cosplays I saw!
Do you make, buy, or is it a combination?
Mostly a combination, I’ve sewn a few of my own but typically don’t have time to do so with school so I focus more on propmaking and wigs.
First cosplay?
Morgiana from Magi
Latest cosplay?
Shenhe from Genshin [Impact]
Favorite thing about being a cosplayer?
Going to cons and meeting new people with similar interests! I love meeting new people and getting to meet up with mutuals I don’t get to see often!
Least favorite thing?
There are alot of people out there who try to tear down your self image, be it online or at cons.
What do you do for work outside of cosplay?
I’m currently a student in vet school!
What are your top 3 fandoms?

What’s one piece of advice for new cosplayers?
Keep with it, we all have to start somewhere and I promise looking back and seeing how you’ve grown is so rewarding!
