Hestiacos first stepped into cosplay just four years ago with a cardboard-propped My Hero Academia costume—and has been hooked ever since! What began with bought costumes and simple skits has grown into fully hand-crafted builds, including her Homura Akemi Devil cosplay for the World Cosplay Summit Preliminary competition, as well as favourites like Effie Trinket (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and Sakura Hatsune Miku. Alongside crafting, Hestiacos is passionate about performance and storytelling, creating cosplay skits, video essays, vlogs, and more for her YouTube channel.

Cosplay has become both a creative outlet and a way to connect with others for Hestiacos. From sewing to wig styling, she loves challenging herself with new skills and bringing beloved characters to life. Competitions like the Oz Comic-Con Skit Competition have cemented her love of on-stage performance, while her YouTube content allows her to showcase the details of her builds and share her journey with a wider community. Some of her most cherished cosplay memories come from the joy of connecting with fans—like the time a little girl dressed as a UA student spotted her as Aizawa and excitedly chanted his name, reminding her of the happiness cosplay can spread.

With her sights set on even bigger projects and collaborations, Hestiacos is eager to keep growing her craft, audience, and connections in the cosplay community. Whether it’s through competitions, content creation, or panels, she’s always chasing her next cosplay adventure!
