Reira Serizawa
NANA

Construction Stage:
100% by Aya

Worn at:
Anime LA 2008 for Private Photoshoot with Draidr Photography
Fanime 2007, Anime Expo 2007 for NANA group cosplay with:
- Aya as Reira Serizawa of Trapnest
- Karrie of iPLAY as Nana Osaki of Black Stones
- Ener as 'Shin' Shinichi Okazaki of Black Stones

Photographs:
Taken by Ener, Karrie, and Raidr Photography

Notes:
I had wanted to originally cosplay Nana herself but I loved OLIVIA, the singer for Reira of Trapnest, and her music so much that I decided to do Reira's white concert dress for "A Little Pain" from the anime and manga after discussing and planning with Ener ^_^ We were somehow able to convince the very busy jetsetter Karrie to join as Nana.

I made this in about three or four days to get it in time for Fanime as hall cosplay with the ever awesome and attractive Karrie and Rene at the same time as I was finishing my Suzuka from Angelic Layer for our Fanime 2007 skit.

It's been really exciting to put this group together and so much fun using fabrics I already had from Tsubasa Sakura-hime, Freya of Chobits, Elisabeth from Takarazuka and to purchase a wig and some punk accessories on my vacation trip to Japan this past Spring! I hope one day we can have a complete group of both Trapnest and Black Stones for a future photoshoot :D
