2024 Cosplay Guest Lineup
I always loved making costumes as a child for Halloween. Then I started making chainmail and various style medieval armours including some blacksmithing.
My first convention I saw an iron man suit and talked to the maker and got a few tips and away I went. It’s been a non stop hobby since then and expanded further than I ever thought.
From making lots of friends, winning contests, charity events, and being asked to be a guest a conventions. It’s been a great stress release and path to learning many skills. I firmly believe cosplay is for everyone and should be nothing but fun for everyone!

QuelsieCosplay is an award-winning cosplay guest from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Kelsie has always displayed an interest in creating and wearing costumes, but the passion took off in earnest in 2017 when she made and debuted her first cosplay at Regina Fan Expo.
Kelsie has been a huge fan of video games her entire life and draws almost all of her cosplay inspiration from her favorite games.
She enjoys creating costumes that are rich in detail and incorporate a variety of materials such as EVA foam, fabric, leather, faux fur, 3D printed parts, and Worbla. Kelsie is known for her cosplay work from the popular Dragon Age, Witcher, and Assassin’s Creed series of games; costumes from those games and more have been published internationally in a number of magazines, including Cosplay Realm Magazine and Creative Cosplay Magazine.
She has also competed in numerous cosplay contests and has won many awards, including multiple Expert 1st place and multiple Judge’s Choice awards.

Odette is a Saskatchewan cosplayer with a deep love for all things magical. Watching sailor moon at a young age sparked her interest in anime and cosplay, and growing up with Disney animation and many golden age films, she was instantly captured by the wonderful storytelling and gorgeous character designs.
Odette first began cosplaying in the early 2010’s, but she can remember playing dress up for as long as she has lived. Being able to continue a hobby she has loved for so long has helped her significantly, both mentally and physically. To Odette, cosplay is what made her find beauty in herself and connect with people around her.
She has even worked as a professional princess for both charity and party events, loving being able to make children’s dreams come true and hopefully inspiring a new generation of kids who love to dress up.
Odette has worked hard to learn both acting and character/costume design to truly bring a character to life, and is well versed in professional makeup and has lots of experience with wig styling.
If there’s one thing Odette looks forward to the most at conventions, it is meeting new people, and bringing a smile to their faces.

Since she was young, Gelnythe has always enjoyed dressing up as her favourite characters!
Since starting cosplaying in 2015, she has gone from Con attendee to Cosplay Competitor and her love for small details has earned her not only a Judges Choice award in Edmonton, as well as Best Journeyman at the Masters of Cosplay at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo but has brought awe in the eyes of young children with her hand embroidered Queen Anna costume.
She is a big advocate for anyone being able to cosplay whomever they want and loves seeing so many of her favourite characters come to life.
Whether she is hand painting full cosplays, modifying something from her closet or purchasing a new cosplay that’s out of her skill level, she puts her heart into each cosplay she wears and hopes to encourage and inspire more people to just have fun with cosplaying!
