1. Your first cosplay.
Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

2. How many costumes have you done?
Ten, if I counted right. :3

3. Your most recent cosplay?
Shinou from Kyou Kara Maoh! and John Watson from BBC Sherlock, both at Desucon on January.

4. Your favourite cosplay (that you have done)
Maybe Shinou or Phoenix Wright; Shinou looked ~*royal*~ like I wanted it to look, and though Phoenix isn't the best-looking costume on me, I'm just freaking happy how well I sewed a whole men's suit, and the suit itselfs looks good.

5. The character you have cosplayed that is most similar to you (if none that you have cosplayed, then one that you will cosplay)
Definitely Watson - we're both kinda shy awkward guys, and some manners match so well.

6. Your cosplay plans for the rest of the year (if you have no more for this year, then do next year!)
The only sure ones are Malik Caesars from Tales of Graces, Tobitaka Seiya from Inazuma Eleven. Depending on my money and time I might do some easy costumes to go with them.

7. The dream cosplay that might just happen.
Ike from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is kinda a dream in my reach. It isn't too complicated for me, but I want to do it so well it's hard to believe I could succeed as well as I wanted :3;

8. The dream cosplay that will never happen.
Hmm.... ...KURIBOH FROM YGO! Eh I bet there is a bunch but I haven't thought about my impossible plans for a while and I don't remember them now orz

9. Something cosplay-related that you will never do (eg. crossplay, cosplay from a certain series)
Wearing contacts. I don't want to go through learning to use them etc just to wear them couple of days a year and spending a fortune on them. :\ I don't really care about eye color if it's not something really unusual or very important part of the character.

10. Your cosplay idol.
I think I don't have one specific..? About everyone in FT and everywhere else too. ´u`

11. Your cosplay specialty (ie. something that seems to apply to a large amount of your cosplays, it could be a specific series, or a common feature in their appearance, such as glasses)
Uh, I don't know? Blond-haired Tales characters hahaha---

12. Your cosplay-making habits (eg. singing while working on cosplay)
I don't recall having any. o,o Except doing the costume a bit, doing something else for a while, continuing with costume etc etc because I can't concentrate at the same thing for long.

13. Your least favourite thing about cosplay?
Putting pressure on myself and bad time management "orz

14. Do you belong to any cosplay groups? If so, what are they?
Finnish Tales! ♥

15. What events have you cosplayed to? Future event plans?
Hmm.... Animecon, Tracon, Desucon, Bakacon, CosplayGaala, others maybe? Gonna continue with about the same events.

16. What is your best cosplay memory?
So many of them~ ´ v `

17. What is your worst cosplay memory?
I'm not sure if I have cosplay memories I'd call bad..? Well except the memories of the oldest costumes because those were worse than the worst sasdfg----

18. Have you won any cosplay awards?
Nope.

19. Your best cosplay derp photo!
Sorry, I have no derpy photos on my laptop now :C But there's this one when I'm cosplaying Phoenix and we're eating burgers, my rapeface is just too beautiful-----

20. Have you worn cosplay in a regular situation? (eg. at school, to work)
On Valborg's day in Helsinki, but we had a cosplay picnic so that doesn't count, I think..

21. Your most expensive cosplay.
I'm not sure.. Shinou might be the one, but Phoenix was pretty pricey too because the fabric was real suit fabric and it costed like hell....

22. Your most comfortable cosplay and most uncomfortable cosplay.
Watson, because regular clothes and comfortable shoes. Phoenix is also pretty comfy!

23. The cosplay you put the most effort into?
Phoenix's suit needed pretty much effort, ugh.

24. Any unfinished costumes? Will you ever finish them?
Not at the moment. ..Well, I have fabrics for Sket Dance's SKET-shirt waiting for sewing, but it's not for a costume and just for fun, so.

25. How many wigs do you own? Which is your favourite?
Six. I really like them all except Guy's and Phoenix's because they aren't so good quality than the others. Shinou's wig is super beautiful~♥

26. Where do you work on your cosplays and where do you store them when they're done?
Mainly in my own room, sometimes I sew stuff in our basement. The costumes are scattered in my closet and our basement in boxes and shelves.

27. What is your favourite cosplay item?
Guy's sword maybe. Or does Shinou's cape count as one-- /forever loving the velvet and fur fabric combination

28. Cosplay peeves/things you are particular about
I don't know? orz

29. Something you want to improve on for future cosplays.
I want to get rid of my "...close enough" attitude and try to actually concentrate more. And to not do the costumes on the last week before con... ....

30. Cosplay-related work you are most naturally talented at (ie: sewing, prop-making, wigstyling, etc)
Dunno really... Planning and getting ideas? XD
