The Cosplay Journey

Horo is a master at crafting armor sets from video games, constantly experimenting with different materials, tools, and techniques. Her cosplay journey has been nothing short of spectacular. From her dream-come-true appearance at the International Cosplay Show of MAGIC Kyoto in Japan to her glamorous participation in Monaco’s Magic International Cosplay Masters, she’s done it all. She’s not just a guest at conventions; she’s often on the jury for competitions, hosts events like the HALL OF GAMES in Thessaloniki, and runs workshops at international venues such as ExpOtaku in Spain, Advík in the Czech Republic, and Comics Salón & AnimeSHOW in Slovakia.

More Than Just a Cosplayer

But Horo’s talents don’t end with cosplay. She’s also a gaming icon and a high-caliber influencer. She has collaborated with industry titans like Riot Games, Logitech, SteelSeries, and Razer. With a reach of 171K across platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, she’s a streaming sensation. She streams daily and holds partnerships with Twitch and Discord. Her notable projects include her Crystal Rose Sona collaboration with Riot Games for the League of Legends European Championship Finals in Athens and her role as a gamecaster at GameAthlon Winter 2020, Greece’s biggest gaming convention. She was also invited to Disney’s Thor: Love & Thunder Influencers Event & Special Screening in London, UK, representing Feelgood Entertainment.
