My wonderful friend Dana sewed the cosplay for me, and provided the buttons, and I ordered the wig from somebody on cosplay.com.
I am really excited that this whole thing is finished, so now I can frolic around kicking things, and talking about steak.
WHO IS CHIE SATONAKA, you may be asking yourselves.
Well don't worry, I shall explain.
Chie Satonaka is a character from Shin Megami Tensei's "Persona 4" for the PS2.

[The cover]
Persona 4 is a game that follows a group of highschoolers, as they solve mysteries, and save the world, and [blah blah blah blah]
Basically, if you want the full story, here's the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_4
Anyway, Chie Satonaka is a character that really stood out to me while I was playing. Not only is she really cute, but she is also great at sports, friendly, and quite hilarious, if I do say so myself. She was a unique character, who didn't seem completely clichéd, and over used, and that was refreshing.
I enjoy all cosplay, but I especially enjoy cosplay when I have a lot in common with a character, or I just simply love them. ;;
Chie was one of these characters that I could relate to, and that I loved, so I'm really hoping I'm able to pull her off well.
Now, without further ado, let's check out some pictures.
First is a comparison of the outfit itself, side by side with a picture of the character:

[I tried my best to immitate the pose, but spreading my legs that far in a skirt would've looked really ho'ish I think. ;;]
And my face when I got the buttons in the mail:

[I waaaaaaaaas, pretty excited. ;D]
I'll be debuting this costume at Kumoricon 2011, and hopefully at a meet-up or two before then. As soon as I get better pictures of the costume, I will post them here, for all of you to enjoy.
I encourage everyone to try and get a copy of Persona 4, because it is a truly great game, and I'm sure you will all enjoy it. ;;
Thank you for reading everyone, good night ~
AHH THIS IS SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteYou make such a great Chie! :3
I remember cosplaying Naoto at a cosplay event once with my friend doing Yukari! I've never played the game before and had no idea what people were talking about when they came up to me. XD
