Hey! This is my first real cosplay. Before this, I never portrayed a specific character — I was just myself in a Stalker suit. But the time has come to change that. My friends had been telling me for a long time that I look a lot like Mavka from "Cost of Hope". I brushed it off, but then I started comparing my old photos with the official art… and eventually decided to do this project.
It took an hour and a half to braid Mavka’s hair.
The costume is my old faithful "Freedom Guardian", which turns 10 years old this year.
I used to think: “God, why am I a redhead and why the hell am I growing my hair so long?” Turns out — this is why.
We shot it at +2°C with a brutal wind. My friends who were filming were freezing, but we made it through.
I hope I managed to show Mavka as if she stepped out of the game into real life 🌻
