I used to have really negative people around me that always told me what I would, could, and shouldn't cosplay. So Shiny will always hold a special place in my heart because making her (and what a messed up time that was) helped me to grow and respect myself more as both a person and a cosplayer. Diary entry aside, this was a fun project in which I had many firsts. I made everything except for the skintone tights, wig, and, o' course, my undergarments.
