Beth, 36

Hometown: Lake Elsinore, CA
Who are you cosplaying as: Arcanist Regalia redesigned by Zack Fischer.
Tell me about your cosplay: It was difficult sectioning out the pieces for the cosplay. I think the easiest part was making the center core and working outward. Surprisingly, I didn't run into too much trouble and normally I do. But it was hard figuring out the layers and it was a real process thinking about it.
Total cost of your cosplay: A little over $700.
Best part and worst part about your cosplay: My favorite part is being a character for a day that's impossible to be in real life. I'd say the worst part is how heavy it is. I'm getting older, so it's not as easy as it used to be. 
Favorite Blizzard game: It used to be World of Warcraft, but it's impossible to play when you have kids. So now I'd say Hearthstone.
Why Blizzcon: It's nice meeting people and other cosplayers. Everyone's been so nice. The costume contest is so fun and it's great seeing everyone's hard work. 
How much do you think you spent this weekend: I haven't bought anything yet but probably $300-$400 on food and the hotel alone.
