Kitty Bella here! A Malaysian cosplayer. I’m a graphic designer and I do Cosplay as a side thing but I’m planning to establish a career out of it. I do ero-cosplay occasionally as well.
How did you get started into cosplaying?
I started when I was 16, I grew up with Japanese culture. I have always been amazed and interested in anime, games, music and even drama. I started drawing because of anime as well. So when I found the cosplay community here in Malaysia, the interest grew when I think that I could finally dress up like my fave characters. But I stopped to focus on my studies and then work. Over the years, I developed severe social anxiety. So I didn’t have the courage to do it.
But thanks to my girl, she pushed me to get out and do what I want to do, which is cosplay and go to anime cons. She gave me courage and accompanied me to cons. She is my biggest reason why I started to cosplay again and well – here I am!
Which is a memorable cosplay experience you have had so far?
When I was still having doubts about myself, few people approached me to take pictures with me. I felt like I have more courage and to be more confident with myself. The most memorable one is definitely my first cosplay photoshoot with my girl as Aerith and Tifa duo.
Do you have any advice for someone looking to get started into cosplay?
Don’t be afraid, have more confidence in yourself and don’t compare yourself to others. You will get there, trust me. Do what you like, cosplay characters that you love even if not many people know about it. Do it for yourself and not for others.
What is a common misconception about cosplayers you usually hear?
As a girl, they tend to say girls are just cosplaying for clout and are not actually interested in anime, games and comics. Which is completely wrong. Most girls that cosplay are actual nerds, i.e ME! Most of us are gamers, avid anime watchers and even collecting comics and figurines.
Is there something you’ve always wanted to do or learn but haven’t had the time?
One of my goals is to be a tattoo artist. I love arts in many forms. But tattoo seems to be my calling. I am planning to take up courses and become a tattoo artist, hopefully this year!
Which flavor best describes you?
Sweet and Spicy. I can do both. I can be a very sweet person but I’m actually a very honest person and can tell someone to their face of their wrong doings. Even if it hurts, being honest is the best thing to do.
What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you?
When they pretended to know me or have seen me somewhere on social media but can’t remember my social media handle so they asked what my socials are. Hahaha.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Kitty Bella. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
When someone is confident in their own body. One can be naturally sexy without doing any sexual actions. But when they exude the energy, that’s definitely sexy!
