![]() ![]() Colette pulled out one of the little snack bars she’d bought to munch on while she waited. Though, her stomach was a little less patient. Her feet were hurting, but it would be worth it to be with her friend for a while again. Holding her bag of groceries, Colette stood off to the side in the store, trying hard to not be in the way. Would you mind waiting some more? Oh wait, maybe you want one as well? They’re mostly still pretty okay and it’s a great way to save some money!” “ Oh shoot, I forgot these bento boxes we can’t sell anymore in the back. Once Shin returned from the back with his coworker, he put his thick winter jacket on that was absolutely necessary for him as soon as the temperatures dropped like they have been lately. “ Ready?” Just when he asked Colette that, he had to stop once again in his step though: But if that’s cool with you, we can leave together.” It’s not my first time working in a store like that though, so I felt right at home.” If that’s a good or bad thing, it didn’t matter for now.Īfter Colette paid for her items, he cleared his throat to reply to her last question as well: “ Er… I have to get my coworker from the back to get on the register now. “ Ahaha, are you that surprised to see me working? I need to afford my living somehow, right? Well, to be honest, I started like a month ago. But it was alright, he already figured something like that after all… But Colette asked him more questions and even if he wanted to walk home together… Seems like he was the only one who felt awkward since their last meeting. “ Ah… it’s the busy season, isn’t it?” Shin expected that this was as far as the small talk would go. Where did she get that energy from anyway? It was one of the mysteries he’d never knew an answer to for sure.

One day we'll make swords for Brett when he cosplays Lloyd, but for now, we're happy with the joke weapons! I even made wings for one con! They didn't hold up well, and I've tossed them into the trash since, so maybe it's time to remake them. I've gone through a few different wigs for this (I used an ebay one back in the day), but I've settled on an Epic Cosplay wig in the Nyx style. It still holds up to this day, but it's a little worse for wear. I heated it over an electric stovetop and bent it into shape. The Cruxis Crystal is cast from resin, and I made the necklace completely out of craft foam. ![]() There is a zipper in the center front, since that's where it makes sense to me where the outfit would have a zipper. I also used quite a bit of bias tape and some broadcloth for the bottom strip. It looks matte in photos, but it doesn't look completely flat. I used primarily cotton sateen for the whole project because it's easy to work with, it's sturdy, and it has a very subtle sheen. I used a pattern from an old Layers magazine specifically for Colette. I am so, so pleased to be able to do just that with my spouse. I loved Lloyd and Colette as a couple, and when I got into cosplay, I always hoped for an opportunity to cosplay my favorite ship with a significant other. Tales of Symphonia was my first Tales game, back before I knew it was a series. At the same time, I think taking care of ourselves is just as important. I think active empathy-the kind that makes you actually do something to help others-is a skill everyone needs to work on. I love her even more for her character progression-specifically, that she learns to value her own life and to stop thinking it's okay to sacrifice herself for everyone else's sakes. I admire her emotional strength, her ability to love everyone, and her commitment to improving the world. Colette Brunel is one of my most favorite fictional characters ever.
