This just might be the best interview segment we EVER had. We spoke with a young Mexican cosplayer by the name of Atenea. ENJOY..

Hola a todos mis amigos de unitedfanboyz. quiero agradecer por brindarme esta entrevista, espero tengan la mejor de las suertes y mucho éxito.

#UFB - When did you start and what inspired cosplay start?

Atenea - I started about four years ago to develop cosplay when I finished my school, my classmates from school were fans of anime and I thought that in my city no anime conventions were done , I thought only in other countries and they encouraged me to attend events and I loved it. I went only with a skirt and bow schoolgirl costume. I took pictures and made many new friends from there who could each attend conventions.
yo comencé aproximadamente hace 4 años a elaborar cosplay cuando termine mi preparatoria, mis compañeras de la escuela eran muy fans del anime y yo creia que en mi ciudad no se hacían convenciones de anime, pensaba que solo en otros paises y ellas me alentaron a asistir a eventos y me encanto ya que solo por ir con una falda y moño de colegiala me tomaban fotos e hice muchos nuevos amigos desde ahi asistía cada que podia a las convenciones.

#UFB - Which of your costumes has been the hardest thing to do?

Atenea - Considering each of my suits have something that costs me. Elaborate but the most difficult so far is that of I-no and the Suigintou. Since I made with design different for them to have better view and were not simple, perhaps for that dress Suigintou burn 5m hahahaha!!! velvet was a disaster, until finally I stay as wanted.
concidero que cada uno de mis trajes tiene algo que me. Cuesta elaborar pero el mas difícil hasta el momento es el de i-no y el de suigintou ya que los hice con diseño diferente para que tuvieran mejor vista y no fueran sencillos, quizá también por que en el vestido de suigintou queme 5 metros de terciopelo hahahaha y fue un desastre, hasta que por fin me quedara como queria.  

#UFB - What are your other hobbies and what new skills they have acquired because of cosplay?

Atenea - Thanks to cosplay I started studying fashion design and between courses professional makeup, I learned to handle many materials and fabrics, learned to develop my imagination and do things that seem impossible with fabrics and with certain materials. Also learned to model and aposar as well as to characterize a character but more important to be empathetic and socialize with people because I WAS very shy.
