Yuki, Defiant

"You will not kill Zero!!!"

This is a Vampire Knight cosplay of a defiant Yuki shielding a defeated Zero from death at the hands of his former master, a vampire hunter...

*Yuki Cross is cosplayed by myself
*Zero Kiryu is cosplayed by the wonderful Skywingknights

~Costumes are self-made. Cross Academy uniform is lined in red cotton. The light grey stripes (true to the manga) were not easy to line up symmetrically on both sides and the silver metal studs were not easy to find or apply, but I am really happy with how it turned out.

~~Matsuri Hino created Vampire Knights -- we just try to make her characters come to life.
