Since it’s the holidays already, we want to bring some great Christmas cheer of the cosplay variety. We then invited our newest cosplay model, Prei, to grace this week’s special edition of arkadymac.com. She may not cosplay as often as she would want to, but when she does, she’s sure to leave an impression. Photography and Post-processing by Brymac, Blessma as Executive Producer and Xtian Mack as Director/Writer.
Prei tells us she got into cosplaying because of her love for anime. The first character she ever cosplayed was Haruhi Suzumiya, as she insists she got so attached to the series. She recalls she started in high school though wishes she had started sooner. She continues to cosplay because she considers it a reward for herself for working hard and doing her best at home and at school.
For this feature, Prei cosplays Santa Miku, a Christmas version of the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku from Crypton Future Media. Like the usual portrayal of Miku, Prei describes herself to be a genki girl: quite cheerful and friendly. This wasn’t always the case though, as she used to be a timid and shy person.
She says cosplaying has allowed her to become a more outgoing and a more sociable individual who can go out in public and enjoy herself. She says that thanks to cosplaying she has more friends now with whom she shares the many things she likes in common like anime, games, and making costumes and props.
Prei tells us she is at her happiest when the people around her appreciate her cosplays. She does admit that cosplaying can be quite challenging since it can be hard to think of the next character to cosplay or coming up with many different poses at events. Even so, she says she’ll continue cosplaying as long as she still feels young and as long as the people around her supports her passion.
Prei would like to thank her parents, Yhanie, her friends, her Bulacan Cosplay Family, her BSN 1B-1 classmates and dorm mates. to all our readers, she has this to share: “Just be yourself, do what you want if you have passion for something and strive to achieve it!”
We at arkadymac.com of course support her and invited you to see more of Prei in future features. Thank you for dropping by and do visit us again for more coplay features here at arkadymac.com.
