🀠❀️ YEEEEHAW! There's a friend in me, and a whole lot of heart in this crew! 🌟 What an absolutely rootin' tootin' wonderful day at Camp Quality Mandurah event! I had the pleasure of saddling up as Jessie from Toy Story, alongside my fabulous fellow costumed friends from Perth's Allied Costumers to join the incredible families and volunteers from Camp Quality for a day filled with lawn bowls (this is a skill I'm yet to master 🀭) smiles, laughter, a little bit of magic and a whole lot of love. There's something truly special about seeing people come together to bring joy to children and families who deserve every bit of happiness the world has to offer. πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ A massive shoutout to the amazing Camp Quality volunteers for the incredible work they do. Your kindness, dedication and beautiful hearts make such a difference! Because sometimes being someone's hero is as simple as showing up, sharing a smile and making a little magic happen. ✨ Until our next adventure, partners... you've got a friend in us! πŸ€ πŸ’› #CampQuality #PerthsAlliedCostumers #JessieToyStory #YouveGotAFriendInMe #CosplayForACause by @kostumedkarina_

πŸ–€πŸ₯€ LILITH – THE FIRST REBEL, THE ETERNAL QUEEN πŸ₯€πŸ–€ Before there was sin, there was defiance. Before there was darkness, there was Lilith. Born of the same earth as man, yet never destined to kneel before him. Cast out for refusing to surrender her freedom, she did not fall from grace… she rose to claim her throne. πŸ–€ With a crown of thorns, horns of rebellion and tears of darkness, she is neither monster nor maiden. She is the nightmare of those who seek to control her and the legend of every woman who dared to say NO. I was not made to be obedient, darling. I was made to be eternal. πŸ₯€πŸ‘‘ #Lilith #QueenOfDarkness #DarkGoddess #MotherOfDemons #LilithCosplay by @kostumedkarina_

Bound to Yomi, the land of the dead, she was forsaken by her beloved Izanagi and became a fearsome goddess of the underworld. β€œI gave birth to the gods, yet even divinity could not save me from death.

πŸŒΈπŸ¦‹πŸ’€ THE BLOSSOMING DEAD β€” The Keeper of Forgotten Souls πŸ’€πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈ β€œThey say death is the end of all things… but darling, have you ever seen what grows from a grave?” πŸ–€ 🌿 Her Story 🌿 Long ago, deep within an enchanted forest, there lived a beautiful woodland witch named Morrigan Bloom. She was a gentle soul, a healer who tended to the sick, spoke to the trees and believed that every living creature deserved kindness. But the villagers feared what they couldn't understand. Accused of witchcraft, Morrigan was betrayed by those she had spent her life protecting. They dragged her into the forest, bound her beneath an ancient willow tree and left her to die. But the forest remembered her kindness. As her final breath escaped, the earth opened its arms and embraced her. Wildflowers blossomed where her blood had fallen, butterflies gathered around her lifeless body, and the roots of the ancient willow wrapped themselves around her broken heart. And from death, something extraordinary was born. Neither living nor dead, Morrigan returned as the Keeper of Forgotten Souls. Her once-beautiful face now carries the markings of death, her eyes hold centuries of sorrow, and her crown of flowers and butterflies serves as a reminder that even in darkness, beautiful things can grow. She wanders between the worlds of the living and the dead, guiding lost souls through the forest and offering peace to those who have been forgotten. But beware… While she is gentle with the innocent, Morrigan has never forgotten those who betrayed her. They say that if you wander into the forest at twilight and see butterflies gathering amongst the flowers, she is nearby. If she offers you a flower, accept it graciously. It means she has chosen to protect you. But if the butterflies suddenly fall silent and the flowers begin to wilt… Run, darling. For the forest has remembered your sins, and Morrigan has come to collect. πŸ’€πŸŒΈ β€œI was buried beneath the flowers, but they forgot one little thing… even the dead can bloom.” πŸ–€πŸŒΏπŸ¦‹πŸŒΈ #KostumedKarina #MorriganBloom #TheBlossomingDead #KeeperOfForgottenSouls #DarkFairy by @kostumedkarina_
πŸ–€πŸ˜ˆ Beauty is only skin deep... but darkness runs right down to the bone. πŸ˜ˆπŸ–€ THE FALLEN QUEEN β€” A STORY WRITTEN IN BLOOD AND SCARS πŸ–€ Once, she was an angel of breathtaking beauty, a guardian of lost souls who believed even the darkest hearts deserved redemption. But her kindness became her curse. Betrayed by those she had sworn to protect, she was captured by an ancient order who feared the power hidden within her. They tore away her wings, shattered her halo, and stitched her flesh together with enchanted silver, believing the pain would break her spirit. They were wrong. With every wound, something ancient awakened. Her once-divine light turned to shadow, and from her broken halo grew magnificent black horns β€” symbols of a power no longer bound by Heaven or Hell. The silver pins that hold her face together are not merely remnants of torture. They are seals, desperately keeping the creature beneath her skin from breaking free. And the scars around her mouth? They are a reminder of the centuries she spent silenced. Now she walks between worlds, neither angel nor demon, neither living nor dead. She seeks those who betrayed her, collecting their secrets and weaving them into the darkness that surrounds her. Some say she is a monster. Others whisper that she is the punishment monsters fear. But beneath the scars, behind her haunting gaze, the fallen angel still remembers who she once was. And that is the most dangerous thing of all. πŸ–€ They took her wings. They stole her voice. They carved their cruelty into her skin. But they forgot one thing... πŸ”₯ Even a broken angel can become a god. πŸ”₯ #FallenAngel #DemonQueen #DarkFantasy #HorrorCosplay #SFXMakeup by @kostumedkarina_
