@we1rdg1rl01
This anime has such a unique art style to it, which pushed me to try more bold makeup looks. Jolyne is a sassy, beautiful, badass. When I'm cosplaying her, my self-confidence goes from 0 to 100. I think that's why she currently holds the spot for favorite cosplay!

Cosplayer background
"Take advantage of your love of cosplay and use it to get involved in your community and bring joy to people.”"
-@we1rdg1rl01
@we1rdg1rl01’s first cosplay was Misa Amane from Death Note, which she wore at Metrocon in Tampa, Florida. It was her first cosplay to a convention, though not her first cosplay. Cosplay is “a great way to put my creative skills to work. And, I get to see the character that I adore come to life!”
“I’ve always loved dressing up! During Halloween, I was always the kid that wanted to go all out! When I learned about conventions and how it gave you an opportunity to dress up (cosplay) at anytime during the year and meet people that shared the same interests as you, I took it upon myself to get serious about cosplays so I could participate."
@we1rdg1rl01 made friends at a convention for the first time this past year. She met a group of people cosplaying the same characters and they ended up hanging out for the duration of Anime St. Pete. She is hoping to learn how to hand-make cosplays in the coming year and do collaboration photoshoots.
