Final Fantasy XII: Fran
A powerful Viera warrior who specializes in long range attacks using her bow and arrows, Fran handles the maintenance of Balthier’s airship, the Strahl. She is the wisest among the cast, a fitting role being her life span is much longer than the rest. She is the eldest of the group, despite her youthful appearance.
I’ve heard that I’ve been showing too many Asian cosplayers again, a pretty common critique now a days. I guess it’s a lot easier to find Asian cosplayers than Western ones. Admittedly, I am a fan of Asian cosplayers, but I also feature non-Asian ones like this when they catch my attention.
I apologize if my blog seems biased to some, if not most. It’s really not my intention.

Thanks Megamisan.

Some Asians are Western. Why be apologetic about showing Asians? People who don’t want to see Asians are the ones being “biased”.

dude - your blog has always been chill - just fyi - if asians so happen to be doing it better, oh well - you’re just getting what looks good. westerners want more press, then they should step up and put on their game face more often…
as for this girl….
wow… just…. WOW….
i’m making fran and balthier cosplay outfits as part of a senior project and i couldn’t quite find anything on fran that wasn’t some random material that didn’t look anything at all right…. this cosplayer definitely gave me much to step up to….
