The Man Formally Known As Ran

The Man Formally Known As Ran aka Aya Fujimiya from Weiss Kreuz.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I DID IT!

I wont lie guys, this has been one of my longest burning obsessions and I love it INTO THE EFFING GROUND!

Though Yohji is actually my favorite and was going to do Aya... it occurred to us early on in the game that our height differences would have been absurd. So... we switched!

Which if fine because Aya is my second favorite character and as long as I got AyaxYohjixAya pictures I didn't care.

YES, I MADE that coat.

And omfg what a challenge. There is NO ROOM for error when you work with pleather. NONE. I'm so shocked I got it right that I nearly cried myself to sleep.

Also, yes, I made the deliberate choice to go with black and grey instead of Red-black and lavender because.... no. I hated that color scheme and thought some of the artbook photos to be much more sensible. Plus, Takehito Koyasu wore Aya's outfit once and HIS was in black too -meaning I felt like no one was going to kill me if I went there with MY coat.

OH~! I got to wear purple contacts for the first time ever. LOVE THEM! They show up better in some photos than others so... keep an eye out for them?

Many more photos to come!

Random: The whole day I was wearing this, I thought of and for a LONG list of different reasons. Most of which had to do with the fact that when I FIRST started cosplaying Weiss nearly a decade ago (9 years to be exact) they had a great impact on me :3
