My masquerade entry for Otakuthon 2013 in Montreal. I won "Best in Character" in the Journeyman division.

Late submission, I know, shh! It's getting cold here again, so I had to post something with bright sunshine in it!

This picture was taken in the old port of Montreal... it's hard to find nice places to shoot around the Convention Centre.


I am sad to say that, because of my work, a lot of things were rushed on this cosplay. My quiver and arrows are held together by mostly hot glue. However, I love my choice of fabrics. The dress is a highland wool serge (how much more perfect could you get for a tomboyish, Scottish princess?) and the cape is really thick coat wool. Needless to say, I was dying of heat. But it was well worth it.
