I have to admit I didn't know hot to respond to today's challenge at first, then I got a sudden idea. I'm not a cosplayer (I dressed up as some of my favourite characters for Halloween a few times, but I'm not sure it really counts as cosplay), but there are some characters I'd love to cosplay, if I had the time, energy, dedication and capability to put together the outfits. That's probably never gonna happen, but nothing's stopping me from talking about it.

So, here I bring you...

Five characters I'd like to cosplay

1) Oscar François de Jarjayes (Versailles no bara)

Oscar is my all-time favourite anime/manga character and I would absolutely love to wear one of her iconic uniforms. I saw a replica of her blue uniform at an exhibition about Japanese female warriors a few years ago and I almost screamed!

2) Jem (Jem and the Holograms)

I loved Jem when I was a little girl and I'm blaming her for my love of pink hair.

3) Merida (Brave)

Merida is my favourite Disney princess: she's tough, has fiery red hair and is a brilliant archer. Who wouldn't want to cosplay her?

4) Sailor Mars (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon)

I look more like Sailor Jupiter, so it would make more sense for me to cosplay her, but Sailor Mars is my favourite Sailor Soldier, so if I had to pick one, I'd pick her. I also like her school uniform and traditional Japanese outfit, and she has two pet crows!

5) Chun Li (Street Fighter II)

I've never really been into video games, but if I had to choose a favourite, it would be Street Fighter II, with Chun Li being my favourite character.
