Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart 03

From the book “Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Ω" by Studio BentStuff, we get a glimpse of one of Tifa alternate costumes. The developers of Final Fantasy VII chose to keep her mini-skirt as a staple of her design, much to the delight of fan boys everywhere.

I don’t know much about the game itself, but I do know Aira makes a fabulous Tifa. Thanks to Lilica for sending this!

Yu Yu Hakusho: Genkai

A legendary reiki master, Genkai is known both in the human and demon realms and takes in an unlikely Urameshi Yusuke as her successor. Her signature technique, the Spirit Wave, is an outpour of spirit energy from the entire body which can be used in healing, purification, and combat. A side effect of this power shifts the body’s cells into temporary reversion to the form in which the wielder was most powerful in their life.

Kiramado キラマド makes a stunning Genkai! Even the setting seems most appropriate for this cosplay. Thanks to SweetPea for sharing this!

Pandora Hearts: Xerxes Break

A member of Pandora and a servant of the Rainsworth Dukedom, Xerxes Break gives the appearance of a carefree character, only showing his dangerous and evil side when the need arises. Break has a legal contract with the Mad Hatter and is often seen with a doll on his shoulder whom he calls “Emily”. He adores cakes as well as sweet things.

Beautiful cosplay by Aerish! I don’t think I’d even want to try and ask for candy from Break at this point..! Thanks to her photographer, Ayafreya, for sending this!

To Aru Majustsu no Index: Index Librorum Prohibitorum

A young nun from a branch of the Church of England, Necessarius, Index has been implanted with the 103,000 magical texts of the Index Librorum Prohibitum (“List of Prohibited Books”) because of her photographic memory. This makes magicians wonder if Index is even human because one grimoire is poisonous to the mind and could even possibly kill a person, let alone thousands. Her sorcery name is Dedicatus545, "The devoted lamb that protects the knowledge of the strong."

Another beautiful cosplay by Kanda Midori! Although Wikipedia says Index has thigh-length, silvery-blue hair, I think we can overlook this minor detail. I mean, long wigs are hard to keep well-styled after all. Thanks again to Edward for sending this in!
