The name is Angela(: I'm 15, and a newbie at cosplaying. But don't worry, you'll see more of me.
There's alot to me, and I'm a bit challenging to figure out.
Besides cosplaying, I draw, write fanfiction, do amateur photography, and edit videos.

I'm easy to talk to, and pretty fun in general. I'm actually kind of awesome. ^_^

I love to play all Final Fantasy games (my favorites being VII and X) and I have this huge addiction to Cloud Strife.
I'm a very large supporter/fan of the pairing Cloud/Tifa. But I respect all other pairings, even if they are not my fancy.

Of course, I'm into anime, most of it being Action/Adventure/Romance. (Romance + cheesiness = lurve.)

I have attended two anime conventions in my life, being Anime Expo 2008 & 2009, and I'm hoping to continue attending more conventions in the future.

Feel free to talk to me! I'm always up for a chat. ^-^

another update for you!

Alrightie, so last night I just started on one of the costumes. Did patterns and fabric cutting of Childhood Tifa. Now it has to be sewn together! (As well as given other adjustments and such)

Wallmarket Tifa will be started tonight. The picture I have for her costume wasn't that awesome of a reference, so I took what I knew + that picture and sketched out what it should look like. To be honest, the sketch looks awesome, but it seems complicated with all the writing I put on it. (Wrote down what it should be like for reference for my dad's girlfriend, who is helping me with the costume) But essentially, it'll be more difficult than childhood Tifa was because hers so far has just required alot of cutting of basic patterns. I know that Wallmarket Tifa will be a different story, and I know it's going to take longer.
It's a good thing I've still got a good 7-8 months.

Now onto other news:

I beat Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It was really sad, and despite negative reviews, I enjoyed it personally. I cried D: But when I finished, I realized how much sense Kingdom Hearts 2 made now, and it didn't seem nearly as confusing. I guess it's a good thing they made the prequel to it .... and it made me just want to go and play KH2 all over again. :heart: But I still have FFVII to finish, then onto FFVIII, then I'll do KH: Chain of Memories. [:


NOW HERE'S WHERE I NEED HELP ..... as usual:

ALA. Anime Los Angeles. it's on January 8th and goes on until the 10th. To be honest, I'm not even sure of the plan of going, but I know that both my friend and I do want to go. So I'll probably skip school that Friday. (Thank god finals aren't for another two weeks after)
But I am of course, going to cosplay.
Problem is, who?
I have this HUGE urge to wear an Organization XIII cloak. I WANT IT.
And here's the thing: I can't make it.
It's not because I'm lazy, alright? I'd make one if I could.
One: I have no fabric for it. Yes, that's easy enough to resolve, I know.
Two: Already working on 3 other costumes. (All FFVII Tifa's I'm doing)
Three: No way to make it. As in, I don't have a dress form (that's the way my friend Yuffie shall be making hers) and I don't have my own sewing machine or supplies to do. I'm getting all my sewing gear on Christmas, which will be two weeks away from the convention. For me, that would NOT be enough time.

So if I really am going to do this, I'll probably have to buy it off eBay (I know, I know) or have it commissioned. The problem with both of those options is the fact that I'm lacking the money. I barely have enough for the convention I imagine, much less for the cosplay.
So if it comes down that I can't do an Organization XIII cosplay, I'll be going as Tifa or as Yuna. I would really rather go as Yuna considering Tifa is my major AX cosplay this year.
I have the staff for Yuna, the only thing I need to do is get a new skirt. The one I have is definately not meant for Yuna now (kinda ruined it, don't ask). But I do have the rest of her costume, as well as the staff. I might need a wig though ... because I'm not cutting my hair again.

But I was also thinking .... who would I go as for Organization XIII? Well, my first thoughts were either Roxas or Xion. Both I would need wigs for. So think about it: Wigs + costume + boots ..... = $$$$$.
$$$$ I don't have much of.
It's silly, but I had this thought of Tifa being an Organization member. Or rather, her nobody as such. So let me explain the story of it before you jump on my back ....

You remember how in Kingdom Hearts 2, she tells Cloud that he can have her light? Well what if it came to that point? Cloud goes beyond the point of darkness into sheer oblivion. The only way to cure it is to have some form of light within himself. Knowing Tifa, she'd jump at this chance to help him out. So she does.
Cue that scene from KH1 where Sora gives Kairi her heart back but turns into a heartless. He is then rescued by Kairi herself, and somehow morphs back into the person he was. This is what Tifa and Cloud would do, essentially.
Tifa would give Cloud all the light she had to offer, therefore becoming a heartless (light = heart) and by becoming such, creates a nobody. Cloud comes back from the darkness within himself and realizes that Tifa sacrificed herself to save him from himself. He holds her heartless self to him, and she becomes the Tifa we all knew. Cloud had shared the light back to Tifa without sacrificing himself.
But Tifa's nobody still exists, just as Sora's and Kairi's would when they returned to normal.

I would be Tifa's nobody in such a case. Of course, this story does not truly exist, but somethig I merely created myself. The idea is fabricated, and therefore Tifa's nobody would be my own original character.
The only problem with this is the fact that I would know who I am, and my best friend that I would be with would know as well. Nobody else would. I would just be some nerdy girl in an Organization XIII cloak.

But this is an idea to still be developed, however, I do need opinions from you guys. And relatively soon, because if I'm going to plan such a thing, I need to start getting it done before the convention.


SOOO here's the options:

a) Tifa's Nobody
b) Tifa (probably KH2 cause that ribbon is bugging me, but I can do either)
c) Yuna (FFX)

d) & e) are unlikely, but still options:

d) Xion
e) Roxas


I will be developing Tifa's nobody as a character regardless, because I think that'd be a cool idea for future use, if not for this next convention.




Sorry for the long blog! But post your ideas, opinions, or criticism! Thanks guys! :D
