She won the Crowd Favorite Award at the Level Up Live 2007 Cosplay Competition. She’s also an avid gamer and according to her, a true fashionista and rakista.
Let’s get to know more about this gypsy cosplayer from Level Up Live 2007, give it up for Hazy! More after the jump!
Hi Hazy! Tell me something about yourself.
Hi, I’m Anne Riel Athienza, 19 years old. I was born on February 23, 1988 and I’m currently studying at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde taking up Multimedia Arts. I’m a true “fashionista” because I have the hots for fashion. Aside from being a fashionista I’m also a “rakizta” because of my fondness in rock music.

How long have you been cosplaying?
Hmmm….about 8 months.
What made you interested in becoming a cosplayer?
The costumes that are worn in animes and games look extremely cute that’s why I want to try it for myself and see what it looks like. ^_^
How do you conceptualize a costume before you have one made?
I try to see the closeness in physical appearance and attitude between me and the character I’m about to cosplay.
What are the favorite costumes that you’ve worn?
Amane Misa’s costume, Kelly’s costume (from Bust-A-Groove) and the Ragnarok Gypsy costume ^_^

What was the most memorable cosplay moment you’ve had?
When I wore the Kelly costume, which is also my first cosplay and my first win XD It is memorable because I didn’t expect to win the event =p
How much did you spend for your most recent costume?
Umm… about 2k PhP ^_^
What was the most expensive costume you ever made?
The Gothic Lolita costume but it’s not out yet so you guys watch out for it ok? ^^v
What costume you had was the hardest to make? How come?
The Ragnarok Gypsy costume because it took months to finish =x
What are the awards / recognitions you’ve won as a cosplayer?
Best female(Kelly) and Crowd Favorite(Ragnarok Gypsy)

Has anyone ever made fun of you when you cosplay? How do you handle that?
Yeah… but I just raise my eyebrows and turn my back on them >:)
What can you say about the local cosplay community?
Generally, I think we have to promote it because it’s not yet widely known to the Filipinos but personally, I think the cosplay community is fun because I’ve met a lot of friends here and I enjoy being a cosplayer. \m/
Aside from cosplaying, what are your other interests in life?
I’m also into anime, online games, console games, horror movies and stuff that have anything to do with arts, crafts and music.
What keeps you busy nowadays?
School stuff and cosplay.
What games do you play? (Please enumerate)
Ragnarok Online, Ran Online, Audition Dance Battle, O2Jam, Granado Espada, Flyff, Tantra, Fatal Frame Series, Final Fantasy Series, Resident Evil Series, Silent Hill Series, Tekken Series, Smackdown VS Raw, Shadow Hearts Series

What are your future cosplay plans?
I’m thinking about cosplaying Lady Butterfly from Devil Kings, Squall(girl version), Ragnarok Online Stalker, Scout or Wizard from Granado Espada and any girl from PangYa.
What’s your message to the cosplayers out there?
Just a bit of advice… If you want to cosplay a certain character so much, don’t hold back because of what the people may say, just trust yourself and show your self-confidence because you won’t grow if you don’t move onto the next level. ^^v
Thank you very much Hazy! Also don’t forget to check out cosplay.ph for more Pinoy Cosplay stuff. And of course, more cosplayer babes and gamer interviews will come your way, only here at The Master’s Den!

Wow. Our birthday is close. Mine’s 26, althought it’s not on the same year. Hmm, I also play Fatal Frame too, although the only one I’ve played is FF3. Shadow Hearts: Into A New World (IIRC) is one too. Resident Evil Outbreak, check! Granado Espada beta days, check! Flyff, checkie! Audition, check! And RO too.
Lol, I must be really obsessed with you.

Hats off to you dude! I also wanna thank all her fans because you appreciated my “baby’s” costume which made her really happy
As for you baby, all I can say is(I hope you’re reading this), I just want them to know (and you of course, although I’ve said it several times already XD) that I’m very proud of you and I’ll keep supporting you until you reach the top; even if it means that I have to be a cosplayer myself!
