Claire Nuñez: from the TV show Trollhunters
I cosplayed her for Tora Con (RIT's anime convention) in 2023. I built the staff (entirely, from EVA foam and PVC pipe), dyed and painted the sweater, and tailored the skirt to fit me. I also created two earrings, which is not in the original character design, but they are her siblings in the TV show, so I wanted to include them in my costume design.

I melted PVC pipe, and used contact cement to connect the pieces of EVA foam, then I sanded, cut, and shaped the foam with my Dremel and box knife.
