Cosplay Facts: Trivia

Wa-hey! Busy week to be working~ So much excitement going on and I just can't contain!! ☼ ~ So let's start this week with some trivial fun facts! ♪ ♫

Here are four cosplay that I have done so far, and these four characters have so much in common! No, I did not intentionally do these, it just happened haha \\(>0<)//



 I'll call them by first name: Serenity (Sailor Moon), Emeraude (Magic Knight Rayearth), Celestia (My Little Pony), and Celestia (Shining Tears X Wind).

~ 1. Names aside, all of them are royalty: from princess status to queen. Well at least that's how their dominance and role in the story are. Emeraude had been called Princess but we all know she is the only ruling power over Cefiro, which makes her like the Queen already; the same goes for Celestia (MLP) but since the return of Luna, the ruling power were split, so Celestia can't entirely be called Queen. Serenity became Queen in the 21st Century Moon Kingdom. Only Celestia of Shining Tears was referred to as Queen from the beginning of the series.

~ 2. Character: Obviously very royal and fine and elegant and soft and fine and royal, wait I already said that,... and magically powerful! \\(^0^)//

~ 3. The base dress I used for Serenity (SM), Emeraude (MKR), and Celestia (MLP) is one and the same! Oh yeaaah~~~ ╰☆╮ Emeraude's puff sleeves were made into what you see Celestia is wearing now. But I can still use the same dress to re-cosplay either of them anytime. I love how flexible the dress had become! ♡

~ 4. Except for Celestia (MLP), the rest were blonde. Makes me want to think her original color was also blonde, but nah, it was really light pink (as based on the illustrations and head cannon theories).

~ 5. Now we are talking about hair color, Emeraude (MKR), Celestia (MLP), and Celestia (STXW) used the same wig! Except that I already dyed it multi-colored for Celestia (MLP).

I hope I inspired you with these cosplay trivia. I feel that I kind of cheated with these cosplays because I just used the same materials, sort of recycled the costume, but not entirely. We cosplayers should also know how to be resourceful and creative with what we have~ Cosplaying isn't a cheap hobby after all!

A phone camera photo of me as Tinkerbell during Emmanuelle's 1st birthday party (July 4, 2015 | Valle Verde Clubhouse), hence the low quality and I did my best to edit... not it looks too animated...(?) {{{(>_<)}}}
