She is a full time student majoring in art design, and has been going to anime cons for 5 years. While she makes her own costumes, she calls herself "pretty new" at sewing. Peachy Pie: "The best part of cosplay is getting it done, wearing it, and becoming the character." "If you play the game (Zelda games), Princess Agitha seems to have Aspergers. She is quirky and seems to be shy... she has "something", like the positions of her hands. She won't really make eye contact very much. I have Aspergers myself, but it's not really bad. If people ask, I would tell them... Now that I am older, I can see from her that that's how I was." It took me another 5+ months to connect with Peachy Pie to photograph her "out of costumes."
