Character: Firesong K'Treva
Media: "Darian's Tale" and "Kelvren's Saga" from the "Valdemar" novels by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon
Completion Date: October 2024
Awards: First Place overall, New York Comic Con 2024
I started making this cosplay in early 2023 with no solid competition plans, but as I developed the skills and the design and the project came together to be more special than anything I had made previously, I wanted to try my hand at Crown and see how far I could get. At that point, I pivoted to making this the most it could be. Firesong himself is a character that means a lot to me as someone who survived so much personal pain and came through the other side, and also as an openly gay character. The version presented at New York Comic Con lacked a few costume pieces that I did not have time to make, as well as an early simplified version of the mask with braided hair "falls".
