Rei霊 cosplayer
When and how did you get started in Cosplay?
What was your first Cosplay?
I started watching anime in 7th grade and took an interest in cosplaying right away. I always love dressing up and doing makeup so it was meant to be. My first cosplay is Ciel Phantomhive the Alice in Wonderland spin-off
What was the most difficult character?
Kishibe Rohan hands down. I was lucky to have a friend who sold me the costume but the process of fixing, retouching and finding accessories for him is so hard. Also, I have to practice all of his weird flexible Jojo pose and facial expression lol
What characters are you planning and type of character are you drawn to?
I'm focusing on some Fate cosplay especially Jeanne D' Arc Alter but some Persona 5 characters are also on my list
I love cool feminine characters but they're still badass and prideful. For male characters, I like the bubbly naive type or the dominating alpha males
What is your process when starting from the beginning with a new cosplay?
I always spend hours staring at the concept and official art. I want to make sure everything must be on point
Are there any helpful hints in sewing, costume design or any other aspects of your cosplay that you discovered in doing your creations?
Definitely buy a mannequin head if you gonna style your own wig. I learn it the hard way lmao
Do you have a preferred brand of makeup in your cosplay? And if so why?
Morphe's eyeshadows are so pigmented and long-lasting and Kat Von D eyeliner is the bomb
What are you listening to?
Favorite Movies?
The Great Gatsby
Favorite Animes?
Jojooo
Favorite TV Shows?
La casa de papel
Is there a scene from a anime, cartoon, movie or tv show that left a big impression on you and what was it?
At the moment it's Berlin's death scene from La Casa De Papel. It was really emotional and unexpected for me
Books?
Harry Potter or Pride and Prejudice
Games?
Persona 5
Beverage?
Tea
Fast Food/ Junk Food of choice?
McDonald's cheese burger
Candy bar?
Snickers
Favorite Breakfast cereal?
FRUIT LOOPS
Is there something not going on in the cosplay world that you would want to see or is there something you would want to change?
I wish that people stop calling light-skinned cosplayer who use makeup to accurately portrait dark-skinned characters "black facing/washing" I know this is controversial and I'm as a pale af Asian in no position to say but all I can see is an extreme amount of effort to perfecting your characters and it is admirable not offensive (as long as the cosplayer mean no harm)
What was your favorite toy growing up?
Cooking toy, I love cooking and baking
Who is your biggest character crush and why?
It's either Takemi Tae or Makoto Nijima from Persona 5. They are both women who I aspire to be and they are both so feminine and fierce in their own way
You enter a warehouse. There is little light, but you are able to find your way around. The sound of music draws you to a corner of the warehouse. There are FIVE GHOUL CLOWNS, playing a dancing video game. They have razor sharp teeth and scary weapons. Magic can not affect them; they sense your presence and turn facing you. They run to you to attack. Time to fight! What character would you want to be to defeat them and how would you handle the situation?
CAESAR ZEPPELI MY BELOVED! COME AND SAVE ME
I will try to back him up as much as possible while he uses his hamon and good looks to fight the ghouls haha
If you had to be chained with a character for one year, what would be the character and what would you do?
Berlin from La Casa De Papel and I will ask him to cook for me everyday and probably fall in love and get married
You can have dinner with your favorite character. And at this dinner you may ask one question. Who would be the character and what would be your one question?
I would love to go out with Caesar Zeppeli from Jojo and ask if he loves Joseph or not lmaoo
What's number 1 on your bucket list? (Something you want to do before you leave the planet).
G E T R I C H
What advice would you give to people getting started in Cosplay?
Practice your pose and facial expression before a con or photoshoot and do your research
