The original Leafa cosplay that started it all!
I became known as the "Leafa girl" at the midwest conventions when I was the ONLY Leafa in a sea of Kirito's and Asuna's at a cosplay photoshoot at Anime Central! My green cosplay stood out amongst all the other characters and I was recognized throughout the convention as Leafa.
When I was asked to gogo dance at Anime Fusion a few months after Anime Central, we chose a Sword Art Online theme and I immediately started on a gogo Leafa! And thus began my ever growing collection of Leafa outfits!
