Get 2 Know Cosplayers: July 2020

Where are you from?

I am from Thailand.

How long have you been cosplaying?

I've been cosplaying for a year and a half.

How did you first become interested in cosplaying?

I just thought to myself one day that it would be so cool to be a character you like and then I found out that cosplay was a thing so I couldn't say no to not cosplaying!

What are some characters you have cosplayed?

I don't remember all of the characters that I've done but so far I've cosplayed Nico Yazawa, Arcade Ahri, KDA Akali, Rem, Arcade Riven, Hanako Kun, Zenitsu and sooooo many more!

Any future plans for cosplays?

I'm really trying to get my Classic Akali cosplay out there one day.

Favorite movie? Video game? TV show? Band?

My favorite movies are probably Mamma Mia and Disney's Descendants. Video game would of course be League Of Legends since I play it everyday. TV show right now more like Netflix series and it's Trailer Park Boysssss. Last but not the least my favorite band... not sure do groups count? I LOVE TWICE but I got into singing and songs all thanks to ABBA and Queen!

What LoL champions do you enjoy playing as most? Which do you hate laning against?

I always change champions that I enjoy playing but right now I'm kinda an Akali main. I need some action in my life! Hate: Yasuo and Zed, mostly assassins. I'm horrible against them.

What is the cosplay community like in Thailand? Are there many conventions to attend? Which is the biggest?

The cosplay community here isn't bad at all. People are nice but of course there are bad sides, too. Too many drama people can be very dramatic. There are quite a lot of cons here. The biggest is probably Jfest, TGS and Thailand Comic Con.

Are your cosplays commissioned or homemade?

It depends on my budget and whether I can do it myself or not. My Harley Quinn one was handmade!
