Elvea cosplay is a true cosplay veteran with 16 years in the game, wearing many hats throughout the years with one factor in common: it’s been on a stage. She’s toured all of Scandinavia as a part of a cosplay idol troupe and participated in many cosplay competitions: sometimes as the Swedish representative on the other side of the world, a judge or her personal favorite: as an MC.

The secret behind Elvea’s long and true love affair with cosplay is a dedication to celebrating queer characters with her craft. Be it figures in cartoons, games or books: if they’re tall, flashy and a little fruity she’s probably at least thought about cosplaying them. Elvea is also an advocate of safe cosplay practices, a strong opponent of con crunch and self proclaimed cosplay momager to anyone who needs it.
