Good day everyone first of all I would like to give my gratitude to mrs. Shannen Yun a.k.a amaimomochan a veteran cosplayer for allowing me to conduct a short interview about her cosplay journey. These are the only information I've gathered during our interview.

Shannen Yun known as amaimomochan was born on September 1, 1994. Residing in the Philippines, She is the eldest among 4 siblings. She started liking anime at the age of 8, The first anime that she watched was Sailor Moon and Fushigi Yûgi. And she fell in love with it. As she started collecting anime stickers at the age of 11. Her first stickers was Tsubasa Chronicles, Mermaid Melody and she started to collect anime posters and anime CDs too, And she love binge watching anime series. And when she was 12, She started to develop have a crush on an anime character and it was Edward Elric from the anime Full metal Alchemist. And it was shifted to Ryoma Echizen of Prince of Tennis. Then to Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children. And her peers during that time find it absurd to have a crush on drawings/cartoons that's how they call anime back then. Many of her peers during that time thought she is odd. but it didn't stop her to do the things she love the most. And by the age of 16 she enter the world of cosplay.

The first character she cosplayed was Matsuri Shihou from Sola anime. And she also participated in some of the cosplay competitions before. Like cosplay singing contest and cosplay catwalks, She just do it for fun and she doesn't take it too seriously. She is also known before as Ayu but her previous Facebook account was been hacked and deleted.

Sadly most of her cosplay photos from the cosplay conventions was in that Facebook account.

As for the present time she get more cautious upon accepting friend requests as you may notice in her new account as she try to avoid precarious situation just like what happened to her previous account before. And now she is back to square one, but she didn't give up on her dream and passion in cosplay to start all over again in her new Facebook account. She also have a DIY cosplay YouTube channel.

Timeline of her cosplays according to what she still remembers:

She will still continue to do more cosplays as long as she still can, Since she's already married and have other priorities in her personal life. If she ever have her own offsprings someday, if they ever want to do cosplay she will gladly introduce them to the hobby that makes their mom happy.

Amaimomochan's message for the future generation cosplayers around the world: "Don't be shy on what your doing as long as you don't mouth off or hurt other people and their feelings. Spread the love and positivity not hate. and just enjoy the things you love to do."

She is indeed an inspiration to many! as I managed to closed our short interview. I view her as a free loving soul just like aerith, a joyful one. And she also have a lovebird pet.
