The users of this forum must be sick of these threads hehe...

But I am in need of assistance, I'm wondering who I should cosplay for an upcoming convention. My picture is below.

I am unable to shop on the internet and I can only dye my hair, no wigs I'm afraid.

Thank you for reading.

I'm seeing more Lana than Mia myself, but both work very well. Whichever one you like better or even another character we haven't mentioned.

I prefer people do characters that are rarely done. I would say Angel Starr, Penny Nichols, or April May.

Rare characters are great and all, but it is a tad disappointing when you go to a con and you don't get as many people recognizing you. I just recently went to MTAC and did some Apollo Justice arc goodness with some friends, and even people cosplaying PW characters didn't recognize us sometimes. Still, don't let that stop you from doing whatever you'd like! All of these "Who should I cosplay?" threads are amusing since in reality, you can cosplay anyone you want. Physical resemblances do help, yes, but cosplaying isn't about being an accuracy Nazi. The point is to have fun dressing as your favorite character. :) Pick your absolute favorite that you can feasibly accomplish in your given amount of time and run with it! :D

Thank you very much everyone. Lana seems to be a very popular choice as well as Mia, I'm not sure still who to do next (I'm trying a GS1 Ema costume right now) but Mia or Lana seem most likely.

Thanks again for all the help.

That's what inspires Man-Faye and Sailor Bubba crossplays...

But on a serious note, it all boils down (for me) to two styles of cosplay: accurate or comedically inaccurate. Accuracy is fun and it can be very nice to see. Comedically inaccurate is almost the same thing, but it challenges your tolerance of actually walking around in an outfit like that as well as the ability to take your costume being laughed at, but leave a much larger impression on those you meet.
