For those of you wondering...

...what costume I need all that stuff for, it's -- yes! -- a video game character. Kairi, from the Kingdom Hearts series. Because a) she's cute, b) I have almost the right hair, and c) the costume requires no irritating props.

( Pictures of said character behind the cut... )

I am almost certainly going to be one of many, many Kairis wandering around, but I am at peace with that.
