During one of the interviews Peachmilky told about her life and difficulties she went through. 

 

 

As anime and gaming culture are now mainstream, it’s faces like Sophie’s that we should all be recognizing and paying attention to as the next generation of content creators. Although Sophie has called Tokyo home for more than five years, she grew up in Northern Ireland where access to all of the things she loved was limited.

 

Like most people, Peachmilky got into anime from a young age but it was really just whatever was on television such as Sailor Moon and Pokémon. It wasn’t until Sophie’s parents came home with a computer one day that she suddenly had proper access to anime and gaming culture from around the world thanks to the internet. This, by extension, is also how she started seeing cosplay for the first time.

Cosplay, the practice of dressing up as a media character, is probably what Sophie is best known for. Her Instagram feed is a multidimensional portal into the worlds of Final Fantasy XIV, Genshin Impact, Chainsaw Man and more. Each photo is visually stunning, from the accuracy and quality of her costumes, her poses and expressions, right down to the style in which they are shot.

 

While she adopts various faces as these characters, the one commonality across all her photos is a sense of quiet confidence, which is why it might come as a surprise to many that for Sophie, starting to cosplay didn’t come easy.

 

The popularity of cosplay in Japan meant she also had access to second-hand stores, wig shops and circle lenses, a popular cosplay accessory. Modeling would have been a very difficult career path back in Northern Ireland, Sophie says, especially as she isn’t considered tall by western standards.

 

“The process begins when I find a character,” she says. “Depending on how much I love them, I’ll either buy one online or commission a costume maker to craft a high-quality version. The latter takes longer and is more expensive. The former usually means making adjustments as it might not look as good or fit as well.”

Sophie admits that her first foray into cosplay was both risky and expensive. The costs continue to add up. If she had a more business-minded approach, she would spend less. Ultimately, it’s her passion for cosplay and a drive to create art that brought her to where she is today. She clearly loves her work, no matter the weather.
