I don't know for certain whom the character is supposed to be, but to just get it done with, I'll guess Rei.

"C'mon everyone, do 'The Bender'! This move is called 'The Bender'."
 

Why is this topic so popular (in terms of pageviews) yet no one seeks to make a single solitary comment
about the near hundred dozen (exaggeration) photo portrayals you are bear to witness? Middle?

-- I don't know why I like to torture myself, and put it out there, but somehow, I've learned to forget how to not try.

I view your image threads like works of art. I am a big fan. I especially like your Japanese-themed threads like this one.

I think my praise would be too often and clutter up the great visual show that you put together.

I am on another forum where people are encouranged not to post so people can scroll from picture to picture.

I give thanks for your elucidation, Nepenthes. Perhaps it as so, in the manner you state, though, still... I provide these hundreds of dozens (in combination of all) of portrayals as a starting point to a potential conversation, and if willing, a discussion of its merits / meaning.

I'm just a bit tired of having to provide basic opening questions in the vein of 'what does this mean to you?', but I guess this is the preferred way in how others exchange pleasantries.

If you are still subscribed to this topic, then by all means, Enjoy.
(and perhaps give me an idea of what you might like to see in the future, leaving all sarcasm aside?)

I have little inkling of what this character's name is, or what's her story, but she does seem to be popular in Japan, as well as longstanding (re: retro).

Robin vs. Mr. T @ Boston Comic Con, 2011

attached commentary: (from:)
Since the allergy season has gotten the better of me during this period of post-con
recuperation, I’ll post my Boston Comic Con recap once I’m feeling better.

Until then, please enjoy this photo of me destroying Mr. T.

I just started getting into this whole scene myself. My first cosplay was Lupin III. I plan on making a Kikuchiyo, from Samurai 7 here soon, gonna start the plans and crap. I will post images when I break my posting cherry, the one that prevents me from posting pics.

Oh, and it looks like SSJTWIZTA pulls off a great Lupin III, his avatar is a pic of it, green coat though...
