Introducing our first Cosplay Guest Judge for DerpyCon 2025! Sealigh the Blue Dragon Mer! Sealigh the Blue Dragon Mer has been a member of the Cosplay community since 2006. She won her first awards at Katsucon 2006 as best novice in the Hall Contest and Masquerade. She continued her path into competitions, leading her quickly into the master category and allowing herself to win multiple best in shows and even the grand prize of a trip to Hawaii from AUSA. After 10 years of competing, Leigh moved into judging. Her specialty is a discerning eye for performance since her background as a professional dancer, choreographer, and instructor grant her an inside perspective.

I just got a message. It says that it’s the cosplay department’s fault. Again. Seriously. The cosplay department is always up to these shenanigans!

Our Final Cosplay Guest Judge is Queen Clover!

Queen Clover is a cosplay and kaigai idol from the far-off land of Pennsylvania. Clover has spent the past 11 years honing her skills and receiving multiple Best in Show awards for both performance and sewing. Any free time she gets is spent writing the next script or creating the next outfits for their idol group, Pl;sm Parade. Idol cosplays are not her only forte, as she is also a long-time fan and cosplayer of series such as Fate Grand/Order, Shugo Chara, and the Ancient Magus’ Bride. You will always be able to find her by following the trail of glitter she leaves, as no cosplay of theirs is complete without a little sparkle.
