Prescilla, as I have named her, has a long backstory. But we won't go into that now. The Robe of Departed Spirits is what I like to call a mixed-media cosplay. There are so many different materials that came into play to make this cosplay happen. I owe a lot to fabric resources that I had while living in NYC, which is where this cosplay all came together. The other half I owe to at least 20 chickens. All the bones in this cosplay are real chickens, most of which I ate myself. I cleaned and dried all the bones before incorporating them into my cosplay. Just the fact that so many dead things went into this cosplay truly makes it a robe of departed spirits.

This robe is from The Burning Crusade expansion, which I consider to be the Golden Age of World of Warcraft - I pay tribute with two other BC/Vanilla WoW-related cosplays ^^;; This was the expansion that I was most invested after playing in the Beta and then going on to play for 4.5 years straight. It's interesting that I never really played a Mage because I have two fire Mage cosplays XD

Prescilla is my super powerful cosplay. I feel I am the strongest when I am her. She has a really bubbly personality and can be very playful. If I could have ever really been a living character in the World of Warcraft, I would want to be just like her ^_^
