Agent R

1. What got you into cosplay?
I really liked Miroku from Inu Yasha and I thought that it would be great to be just like him for a weekend, so my mom made me the costume. It was great, kinda like how little kids put on capes and pretend to fly around. Even after all of this time, I get the same rush everytime I put on a costume ^_^

2. How do you choose who you will cosplay?
I watch a series first, determine which characters I like, and I pick whichever one I think I could pull off the best. Occasionally someone will ask me to cosplay a certain cosplayer, but I insist on watching the series anyway.

3. How has cosplay affected your life?
Cosplay is the reason why I have so many friends. Cosplay has allowed me to meet new people, forge relationships, and truly enjoy myself no matter what the circumstances. I love cosplay.

4. What keeps you busy outside of conventions?
Anime, friends, Halo Night(where/whenever it happens to be, lol), games, fairly normal stuff.

5. Do you see yourself continuing to cosplay 5 years or 10 years from now?
I definitely see myself cosplaying 5 years from now. 10 years seems like an awfully long time from now, but I hope that I'll still occasionally throwing my costumes on for events.

6. What is your dream costume?
Freya from Chobits. Yes, I know, it's a crossplay, but I still want to see if I can pull it off ^_^;;

7. What is your favorite costume you've done and why?
Kyouraku Shunsui, he's a lazy bum who lies around and hits on his cute vice-captain. what's not to like? Plus the fact that the costume is very comfortable, if a little warm.

8. Is there any advise you can give for our visitors?
Watch out for Agent FL. She bites.

9. What is the hardest part about cosplaying?
Figuring out exactly how to achieve an effect with minimal effort. Never seems to happen that way, though, lol.

10. Who would win in a battle to the death? The King (Burger King) or Ronald McDonald? Why?
Ronald McDonald. We never see the king do anything physical! Ronald is out and about, he has a karate commercial, come on! Even a big King would fall to the clown's might!!!
