Cosplay Spotlight: Cure Windy/ Kiryuu Kaoru

Oh look, it’s my pfp!

This cosplay is of Kiryuu Kaoru/ Cure Windy from Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star. I was just starting to get into Precure when I decided to cosplay her. The Kiryuu twins really stood out to me at the time, and I still think they have one of the best redemptions in the franchise.

Gosh, I was a baby back then

Everything was handmade, including my Foop plushie. This was my first time entering a masquerade, and this was at a huge convention: Youmacon 2019. I was super nervous! But as my first Precure cosplay, and my first step into the cosplay competition world, I knew I had to just go for it!

I competed in both craftsmanship and performance. I was especially nervous for the performance part; I had severe stage fright, I was dancing in front of people for the first time, and to top it all off I was the first to go on stage! Talk about a nightmare!

Hey look, this picture was in the local news!

In the end, I won the Novice Craftsmanship Runner-up award. I’m still super proud of this cosplay and all of the time and effort that went into it.

In order: Youmacon 2021, Astronomicon 2020, Youmacon 2022

I’ve worn her to a few events since. It doesn’t matter to me if only one person has actually ever recognized the character, it’s all about the love for my craft. Unfortunately, I had to retire this cosplay after Youmacon 2022. I just don’t fit in her anymore. I’m glad to have had these experiences, and I hope that this post can be a good send-off for her

Thank you, Kaoru!

I finally got around to spending a day creating new graphics for my book promotion effort.Having done new book cover art last year, it was annoying that the other artwork didn’t feature the new covers. Now I’m working on making everything consistent.
