Nice to meet you! My name is Rosie, and I'm a joyful college student studying to be a librarian. I'm originally from the Pacific Northwest, but I moved down to the San Francisco Bay Area to be with the love of my life.

I've been cosplaying since 2003, thanks to my friend Thea! My first costume was Tifa Lockhart, a strong, iconic female video-game characer who I admired at the time.

I don't have time to make many costumes, and I try to go for quality over quantity (though I'm sure you can spot one or two rush-jobs in my gallery!), averaging only three costumes every year. Because of this, I only make characters I really love or characters that resemble me from shows I like. I'm proud with what I have made, and I hope you like poking around in my gallery. :)

Love to All!

Rosie
