Fenn, better known as Wattashock, has been a cosplayer and content creator since 2018. Their passion for different characters from various media led them to want to bring those characters to life in their own way. From Blue Diamond from Steven Universe, Firekeeper from Dark Souls III, to even making Kirin Armor from Monster Hunter, all of them were brought to life by Fenn and their fiancé. They started learning sewing, photography, foam crafting, weathering, and wig making, with a touch of chaotic energy on top, to expand their skills. They even taught themselves how to make wigs from scratch to incorporate their own textured hairstyles into the characters they cosplay. Fenn shares their experience with others and helps ensure that every cosplayer knows they belong in this community. After all, cosplay is for everyone.
