She has a strong aptitude in magic, a rarity for those born on Earth and a quick learner in the magical arts.
This sweet grade three student feels that, though she plays a good supporting role in others' lives, unlike the rest of her family and friends, she has no closest friend to turn to and no direction in her own life, which changes greatly after her meeting with Yuno. She's slightly dense and much too trusting, but has a tremendous insight. In StrikerS, she is leader of the Stars squadron and her call sign is Stars 1.

I chose Nanoha from Magical Girl Lyrical because it was different and I knew there wouldn't be anyone cosplaying as her. This cosplay had no plushie but a staff. I had my husband, k4tt, make the staff so that I could concentrate at making her cosplay. I found a lot of reference pictures, looked through art books and the official website to see how I would make the cosplay as there were three variations of Nanoha's costume. I had problems making the costume. It was harder that Shinku’s costume, only because I was rather frustrated when the skirt went wrong. Cut the wrong pieces out so had to start again. Used different fabric to Shinku’s costume as I wanted to see how it would work. Bought some shoes and modified them to look similar to Nanoha. Nanoha’s staff took the longest to make. It wasn’t 100% by the first day of the expo but it was usable. But overall, I was happy with how it looked. | ||
