after seeing a Tear Grants cosplayer on day 1 of Cosmania, I remembered that Lorra had a cousin that cosplayed her several months back and wondered if that could be her. unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to ask.
early on day 2, I was with my friend Tifa and her Trinity Blood group, just killing time with them and taking their pictures while waiting for everyone else I knew to arrive.
when I uploaded the above picture to Facebook yesterday, I noticed that the person Tifa tagged had the last name Angbuete. turned out that she was that cousin of Lorra's that I was looking for on day 1.
