Dance in the Vampire Bund: Mina Ţepeş

The current ruler of the Vampire world, Mina tends to act aggressive and cocky despite feeling very lonely deep down. She cares for the welfare of her people very much and will do anything in her power to protect her kind. She also sympathizes with the Fangless, creating a city underneath the Bund where they can live freely without persecution.

Cosplayer Koyuki makes an excellent Mina! I really love the ribbons on her hair. Thanks to Kanririn for sending this!

Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Siesta 00

Named after the “00 buck” shotgun load, Siesta 00 is the leader of the summoned Siesta Sisters Imperial Guard Corps. She is very composed and serious when it comes to her work, but is known to be generally kind-hearted and gentle. She gives her all when she is in battle and is in charge of guard and recon.

Awesome cosplay from Comiket 2010! I’m actually glad I came across Siesta 45 before 00, or this feature would have been placed in the Unknown Section! Thanks to Lucy for sending this!

Final Fantasy XIII: Éclair Farron aka Lightning 02

A former Guardian Corps soldier, Lightning wields a gunblade called the Blazefire Saber, which is also known as the Blaze Edge in Japanese. It is a combination of a gun and a sword, one collapsing into the other. Lightning is known to be very agile, and uses acrobatic moves in battle.

Beautiful cosplay by Rainer Tachibana! I think she really captures the character in this photo very well. Thanks to Katrina for suggesting this!
