Stella started cosplaying in 2009, conventioning since 2010, and competing since 2011. She has taken part in over 50 skits, and in recent years has added more craftsmanship builds to her repertoire. Their most recent craftsmanship achievements include Best Masters at Isshocon this year with Kalim from Twisted Wonderland and Best Journeyman at Colossalcon 2022 with Caitlyn from Arcane, and her most recent skit win with Astarion at Isshocon 2024. Her favorite costumes so far have been Alucard from Castlevania, Lan Wangji from Mo Dao Zu Shi, and Ellie from The Last of Us 2.

She has not been able to compete as much due to her increasing work load behind the scenes at several conventions like Zipcon, Animarathon, and Matsuricon in the Cosplay Departments. They really enjoys being able to create more welcoming spaces for competitors, seeing both sides of the coin, and really strives to help fellow crafters and performers to shine and have fun.

Vis started cosplaying way back in 2008. She has won an array of awards over the years for both Craftsmanship and Performance. Vis prides herself on helping those around her, and solving crafting problems with creative solutions. The costumes she is currently most proud of are Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children), Wei Wuxian (Mo Dao Zu Shi), and Vi (Arcane).   Along with crafting and doing skits with friends, she has coordinated the cosplay competition for Animarathon since 2020, and has judged at Zipcon the past few years. When not cosplaying (or sometimes in cosplay), she can be found behind the camera taking photos for other cosplayers.

Cam (Ostian Owl Cosplay) is writer & musician from the Midwest that has been cosplaying for over 10 years. They specialize in prop making & maintenance and are usually ready to try anything new to expand their horizons for the craft and contribute any knowledge they might have to assist others. They have been involved with a handful of cosplay masquerades for skits, winning a solo skit award in 2016 and contributing to several group skits through the years. While normally on the quiet side, they will talk your ear off about video games, horror & kaiju movies, animation, comic books and birds. Their favorite cosplays include Plague Knight (Shovel Knight), Sailor Jupiter, Tangle the Lemur (Sonic), Phoenix Wright, and Ness (Earthbound).

WitchBottle or Nona for short, had always loved anime, video games, and comic books since as long as she can remember. WitchBottle has been in the cosplay community for almost 18 years and counting. She learned to hand sew at a young age and learned how to use a sewing machine in her early twenties. She has grown to love styling wigs and creating her own cosplays. Even if her perfectionist side of her causes her to con crunch the night before. She has won a group skit award as well as competed in a few competitions. She is known to be a social butterfly and loves meeting new people. WitchBottle cannot wait to meet you all this year and see all of the amazing cosplays.
