It’s Agatha the Bug Princess from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess!
I spied this buggy gal with both eyes in the exhibit hall lobby. While she looked fantastic from afar, her costume was even more stunning up close.

All the exquisite detailing she pored into this cosplay really set her apart from some of the, shall we say, less dedicated cosplays that made an appearance this con. I was impressed with her attention to all the details. Bravo Agatha!

I was exposed to anime as a child while living in Germany after watching the Japanese version of Hans Christian Anderson’s the Little Mermaid. In high school, a classmate in art brought in Akira as an example of Japanese art. I wasn’t very impressed with anime at the time, but my re-exposure to it in 2000 thanks to Escaflowne had me hooked for life.After sorting out what I liked about anime (great stories, beautiful animation and epic battles) and disliked about anime (big boobs, angst-y 15 year-old kids, most mecha, sports stories and style-over-substance), I got into it with a vengeance.I do love almost all aspects of Japanese culture and try to be involved with it as much as possible. I have no problem admitting that I incorporate a lot of Japanese trends and traditions into my life as I modify them and make them my own. Anime is a big part of that, along with all the sub-cultures, past and present.
