I'm 31 years old and have been cosplaying on and off until 2022, when I started cosplaying on TikTok. Unexpectedly, my reach grew, and I soon found myself with a decent following, friends who were willing to take pictures and a partner with whom to cosplay.
In less than three years, I've created content for over 30k people and am lucky enough to not only be a content creator for Hoyoverse but also have received a couple of sponsorship and PR deals with companies like Pinkyparadise.
I'm constantly trying to improve in every aspect and challenge myself to push further which has even helped a bit with my social anxiety.
There's still a lot I want to learn; currently, I'm working with wigs quite a lot and am getting more familiar with making costumes myself as so far, most of my costumes have been store-bought and I then modified myself to look more my style. For example, changing accessories, adding jewels, and other tiny details to make the costumes pop.
