How did you first become interested in cosplay?

My friend told me that it would be fun to have costume on during a gaming event, so I did some quick research on League of Legends champion skins. I choose the simplest one for me to make - Prom Queen Annie. After that first convention I became so fascinated about it that I never stopped! It's a fantastic hobby.

What are some characters you have cosplayed?

Many of them is from League of Legends - Janna, LeBlanc, Yasuo, Syndra and Karma. I'm also very into Love Live so I made various costumes of idols like Eli and Riko.

Who is your favorite LoL champion to play as? Who do you hate playing against the most?

I love to play as Jinx, Neeko, Janna and Illaoi. But I really hate to play against Yasuo, Zed, Fizz and Talon - they are so annoying to play against...

Any future plans for characters?

In the near future I'll make some more idol stuff, but I'm planning to focus on other anime positions than just Love Live. For example, Kohaku from Dr. Stone, Sistine from RokuAka and Elsa from Frozen 2.

What is your favorite part of cosplay?

Happiness! Sharing the joy of being a fictional character in the real world is something unbelievable. The smile on people faces when they see their favorite character or all those little children who think you're real a superhero or princess - it's priceless.

What about the hardest part?

For me it's motivation and finding time to make my own costumes. Since I live away from home and I cannot make costumes here, I became less active in cosplaying. It hurts, but it's the way of life. Besides that, I really hate making shoe and plushy patterns and working with fur.

Favorite movie? Video game? TV show? Band?

For movies it's not that easy to pick but let's say Zootopia and The Hunger Games. But choosing from anime I like Akagami no Shirayuki-hime the most. My favorite video games are League of Legends and the Tomb Raider series. I usually don't watch TV, but if I do, I really like to watch Hell's Kitchen or Master Chef. And my favorite band is Linkin Park.

I love Linkin Park! I was just having a discussion with a friend of mine about old school Linkin Park vs newer songs. What are some of your favorite songs of theirs? (I think mine is Papercut).

My first song ever was Numb but I started to love them after hearing Castle of Glass for the first time on the radio. Since then I have my top four favorite songs which are: New Divide, Roads Untraveled, Iridescent, and One More Light. But that doesn't mean that I don't like their older songs, too!

Tell me something about yourself that nobody knows.

I can eat almost everything with ketchup.

Have you ever tried Steak with Ketchup? I've heard a lot of people love that!

Just a few days ago! And yes - it was tasty. But they are much better with garlic butter!
