Eris was done when a friend and I decided that we needed new "sexy" costumes because, we were, after all, 18. We wanted to go to a convention (Bay Con) to celebrate and dress in a "sexy" manner, unlike the unsexy manner that we earlier dressed in. (See all of the pretty pink princess dress costumes listed in the science fiction section...)
We
decided that we'd do anime costumes. Sexy anime costumes. I'm
not quite sure what possessed us. But I figured that I was game for
it and now had to choose a character to do. I had been watching Slayers
a lot recently and liked the character of Eris and liked what she wore.
(Why not?) My friend, wimp that she is, decided to go with Female
Ranma. (Now how sexy is that?)
