Okay, I need some help deciding who I should cosplay as. So far the only character I've been told I look like is Rinoa, but I want a variety of characters to choose from.

I have short hair, normally, however I do own a set a extensions that look very natural on me. Right now I have bangs cut in, but they can be grown ut and pushed to the side if need be. Also, my hair is black and/or brown 99% of the time...so characters with those hair colors are preferred, although I have no problem wearing a wig.

Here are some of my 'short hair' pics:

Here are the few extension pics I have...keep in mind that these pics were taken before my set was completed, so the back is much fuller and natural looking (less scene-kid like):

I am short, about 5'2" and have a very curvy body...here is a few pics of my body type just for a little more inspiration:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/ ... llbody.jpg (yes, I am Seras Victoria)

Okay, now I know that's a lot of pictures...but I have many different looks and want you all to be inspired by more than one picture of me. The only thing to keep in mind when coming up with characters for me is that I HATE SHOWING MY STOMACH! It jiggles when I walk and I know some people just don't want to see that. I am trying to lose weight, but in the sense of being practical I'd rather keep away from bikini tops with shorts or anything or that nature.

P.S. Don't worry about what anime/video games I like, if the character is one I don't know but looks interesting, I'll check it out. I am trying to be open for ideas.

Lady Sakuya Shiina from Samurai Deeper Kyo is I must say look so much like you with the extensions on, I am not sure if you ever did wear any kimono! Sorry for no image of her. Heres a face shot of her though (^_^)

Aha! Since you said you have a short hair with bangs on it, this natural short wig https://www.perfectlocks.com/products/t ... -front-wig would be the perfect match. Coz honestly, it might be difficult for your to imitate your favorite character with your natural hair. Most cosplayer wear wigs or extensions to get the best result, and they can also style them if they choose to.
