I first attempted to cosplay this character a loooong time ago back at Otakon 2007. It was my first cosplay I had ever made too!!!! Sae is my favorite video game character ever and even though my first cosplay wasn't my best it is still my favorite. For Anime USA 2014 I decided it was finally time to remake this cosplay and make sure I got every detail right! I made sure to wear it with the right side overlapping (because that is how they dress the dead in a kimono) and I my biggest focus was getting the blood splatter exact! Not many people realize this, but the blood on Sae's kimono isn't just randomly splattered, its in the shape of half a butterfly probably to symbolize her separation from Yae and that she will only be whole once they are together again. I love subtle details like that! I also took it up a notch by making a wire rig for butterflies to fly around me like they do in the game.

GAAAHHH I'm such a fangirl of this series and Sae especially I could just go on for hours about it and how much I love this cosplay!!! <33333
