Greetings my fellow Nerds and Nerdettes! I am back from my week long hiatus and I am looking forward to posting some great stuff this week. We begin with the return of my cosplay interviews and boy do I have a good one today! Today’s cosplay feature is the one and only Diamond Cosplay from Chile. So sit back, relax, and enjoy my interview with Diamond Cosplay.
1. Who are you and where are you from?
I’m Diamond a 23 years old Chilean girl who loves cosplay.
2. How did you discover cosplay?
Well, In 2010 I went to a convention and I saw many guys dressed as Pokemons, Vocaloid characters, etc… and I thought : WHAT? … then a friend of mine told me what cosplays are and I liked it! ! …. so since then I started to make my costumes.
3. I really love your version of Kratos, what made you choose that character and how did the idea come about?
Kratos is my favorite videogame character. His attitude and the way he fight against the gods is amazing! … also the videogame is incredible!. I tried to get a sophisticated but strong view of a female Kratos and I think that I got it …. people like it!
4. I notice you cosplay a lot of video game characters, what other genres do you cosplay?
Just videogames, because most of the times I just see anime cosplayers, and people forgot that exits a lot of genres and you can make a costume related to comics, series, etc…. but I have a couple of anime characters in my cosplay book.
5. Well, since you like video games so much, which is your favorite video game and why?
hmmm… favorite video game…
Basically in conventions, but many photographers invite me to photo shoots. One of my spoiled photographer is Esteban Chacón, he makes a GREAT job… you can visit his webpage : www.teamjapan.cl/
7. What other hobbies do you have besides cosplay?
Hmmm… I like to go out with my friends of MKo (Chilean cosplay group of Mortal Kombat), have fun with my pets (animal lover <3) and share with my family every weekend :)
8. What are your plans for the future?
Maybe, grow up as a cosplayer and show to other countries that in Chile we have many cool cosplayers… and create a cosplay store with different accessories, wigs, costumes or tutorials.

10. If you had to pick one cosplay, which one is your favorite?
WHY? !!! ha ha ha so difficult to choose :( … ok.. Jade was the first costume that I made, I made it with so much love and dedication… this character has a special emotional burden :) … and the cutest moments as cosplayer.
