*Terra Branford*
Final Fantasy VI
Event Worn At: Anime Expo 2002, Katsucon 9, Anime Expo 2003, Gencon Socal 2003
Chara Info: Terra was enslaved by the Empire for her incredible talent with magic. When she was freed by the Returners, she remembered only her name. Having amnesia made this 18-year-old incredibly childlike and unsure of herself. Above all else, Terra Branford wanted to know the feeling of love.
Why Her?: Because it's TERRA. I adore her. She's my favorite female video game character. She's also got the lanky, straight body type I have ^_^.
The Story: The dress was made from a simple pattern. The gauntlets, shoulder pads, and boot covers were all made from scatch. Everything is bordered in gold bias tape. There's a LOT of jewelry to this costume, so much that I'm not going to bother listing it all :P. The first version of this costume had a cape with Amano-style flowers drawn on. Unfortunately, it turned out looking like bird poo so the second version of this costume (worn to AX02) had no cape. However, this version had neat little beads dangling off the shoulder pads. The third and present incarnation has a bit of pink fabric hanging from each shoulder, and the beads have been taken off (they stuck to everything ~~;;). A purple sash and a pink hairbow (Amano-style ^_^) complete the ensemble.
