Taycosplayy began cosplaying in 2018 from a love of pop culture and costuming, a love which only grew exponentially once she began attending conventions. Conventions introduced her to a world of costumes and other cosplayers, whose skill she aspired to match through her own creations. Although the learning curve was steep, Tay’s skills improved tremendously in her first year, getting her noticed by area conventions, which led to guest spots at comic and anime conventions.
Since then, she has competed in contests around the southern United States, placing or winning several.
After attending a local con, 13.Katz dived headfirst into the cosplay scene. What started as modifying a few bought cosplays evolved into an enriching hobby of crafting bizarre cosplays, such as a yarn wig helmet and a twinkling, walking Soot Sprite. In addition to cosplay, 13.Katz can be found with her dice hoard at tabletop role-playing games, such as Monster of the Week and Dungeons & Dragons, as both a player and game master with over 5 years of experience. As a player, her characters have ranged from high level dual class monstrosities to silly little slimes with a +0 intelligence. As a DM, her specialty lies in writing home-brews filled with rich lore, quirky foes, and hilarious mishaps.
