BIO: I’m an avid gamer, having gamed my entire life, and watched anime from a really young age, thanks to my father who was always considered the family “geek”. The first anime I was introduced to was Trigun.

I started my cosplay journey in 2013, doing Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII, it was self-made and I was very proud, since then I’ve gone on to pick up many other skills and complete numerous other cosplays. Who knows where the journey has yet to take me.

I love how cosplay is such a great form of expression, even for someone like me who is an introvert and actually suffers from social anxiety. There is a major sense of comfort and confidence that comes with dressing up as your favourite characters and donning their personalities for the day.- Nanashi_Nase
