cosplayer

A cosplayer is someone who creates and wears costumes to represent characters from movies, TV shows, comic books, video games, or other media.

Cosplayers may attend conventions, participate in photoshoots, or socialize online. Their craftsmanship reflects creativity, skill, and passion for the characters they emulate. Overall, cosplay celebrates fandom and artistry, allowing individuals to embody beloved figures and share their enthusiasm with a community of enthusiasts.
