And the story...

My favourite Soulcalibur character was actually Sophitia, but I chose to cosplay as Seung Mina because of the hair. I was meant to be part of a group, but the group was cancelled because the others couldn't made their costumes in time. I wore mine alone at the con, and there I met a very nice girl (Kikyoh ^^) who was in a Soulcalibur group the following day and asked me to join ^___^ It was really kind of her because they didn't need me at all: they already had a Seung Mina 1P, but they didn't mind having another one. Their group was really beautiful! We won the 1st place at the contest, but honestly, it was all thanks to their costumes ^^
We made this costume together with my grandmother, and my grandfather made my weapon. We didn't have red paint, so it was, er, funny to paint the handle with nail polish XD My favourite aspect of this costume is definitely the weapon. ^^

Partners?

I didn't know everybody in the group, all I can tell is that Kikyoh the Kyupi was Sophitia, Ivy was Ivy, and Nadege was Taki.
