What often starts as just a game, often ends up becoming a real passion.

So it happened with Bish, the Polish cosplayer who will perform on the Cosplay World Masters stage in 2023.

More than a passion, cosplay is also an art.

And no one better to show us that than Christy!

Representing the United States, our contestant started sewing her own costumes from an early age, taking inspiration from her favourite animes and movies. Later, when she started taking to the stage, she realised that her passion for sewing went far beyond the usual, encompassing performance and skit as well.

Now it’s time to wait and see if she can charm the Iberanime audience and jury!

Sasha

Hello, I’m Sasha and I’m a cosplayer from Sofia, Bulgaria! I’ve been cosplaying since 2013, and I started making my own costumes in 2014. My favorite part of cosplay is the challenge of figuring out how to translate (often unrealistic) fantasy designs to real-life outfits and props, and I enjoy picking up new crafting skills from each project I take on.

I’ve always had a great love for storytelling, whatever the medium. In my free time, I love reading, playing video games, and playing D&D with my friends. I also love travelling; besides Bulgaria, I’ve lived in the UK and Japan, and I am very excited to visit Portugal for the first time and meet fellow cosplayers from around the world!

Outside of the cosplay realm, I recently graduated from university with a joint honor’s degree in business and Japanese. At the moment, I am working for a Japanese video game publisher. You can normally find me gushing over my favorite fictional characters, thinking about sweets, or singing the praises of Zuko’s redemption arc (which, on second thought, might just be me gushing over him after all).
