Undeadtoasty
Undeadtoasty a.k.a Rouxan (they/he) has been cosplaying since 2013 and judging cosplay competitions since 2017.

They have won nine costuming awards with their three most recent wins being Best in Show!

Stitched in Starlight started cosplaying with her partner in 2016. She learned to crochet in 2015, and in 2017 she decided to meld the two passions together.

They are now a Masters-level cosplayer and compete with yarn as a primary medium. Stitched in Starlight is a plus-size, neurodivergent, queer cosplayer who advocates strongly for cosplay as a form of self-expression. She treasures the friends she has made and the skills she has learned throughout her cosplay journey.
