Notes: On the far away year of 2000 I was introduced to the concept of cosplay at Anipop, a very small, con-esq thingie in Portugal. A couple of its members turned to me as asked me if I was going to cosplay on the next FIBDA, an anual European and North-American comic exposition. At the time I had no clue about what cosplay was, so after being explain about the whole deal I entusiasticaly accepted cosplaying. Having no clue about how to sew I asked my mother if she could make me the costume. So basicaly the whole costume was made by my mum. My only contributions to this costume were making the rough patterns of some elements and constructing the mini-computer (that is barely visible in pics ^^;) Later on 2004 when I decided to rewear this costume I rebuild the boots by using part of the old boot covers and attaching them to a pair of plain shoes, after covering them with fabric. I also finaly bought a blue wig and styled it.
