Alina, 26

Hometown: Boston, MA
Who are you cosplaying as: Mei from Overwatch
Tell me about your cosplay: This is actually my first really big cosplay and I was working with a lot of new techniques I had never done before, like foam and sewing. It took about five weeks for the whole thing. 
Total cost of your cosplay: $1000
Best part and worst part about your cosplay: The worst is just the heat. It's not terrible but its nice being inside. There isn't a lot of breath-ability in the costume. The best part though is that it makes everyone happy. 
Favorite Blizzard game: World of Warcraft
Why Blizzcon?: It's my first time here so I'm excited to learn what happens at BlizzCon.
How much do you think you spent this weekend: $200
