My first cosplay... ♥

I have all sorts of good memories linked to Ash. It was my first step into the world of cosplay and conventions, that gave me many friends and good times. I will always remember the reaction from people who saw my group and I coming into the con center for the first time... :')

This wasn't perfect, of course (like I didn't know I could bind, at the time...!), but I think it shows that we were doing it for fun. Today, I feel like the cosplay world is very competitive, and everyone really wants to challenge themselves (and sometimes others too...). I want to keep close to the feelings I had when I was being Ash. Just having fun with my friends. And doing plenty of silly stuff that keeps my heart young.

"Forever together~"

My costume was made by my mom, Vilya0 and myself.
