Ninon's Night

Ninon Beart from King of Fighters!
I first played the King of Fighters Maximum Impact at a game center in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I love Ninon's attitude and determination.

The shoes were designed by myself and my uncle helped me carve them out of wood and attach the leather straps.
The details on the kimono took a loooong time, and have swarovski crystals attached to them, so they're nice and sparkly!

The bow is attached to a wire-and-cardboard insert that is placed under the obi.
The obi and bow are made out of an absolutely gorgeous fabric that I found in Nishi-Nippori, Tokyo (the fabric district).

There are jingle bells attached to the back of the lace-up leggings (40+ eyelets O_O) so I ring every time I walk XD

Thanks to Mike for the great photoshoot at the fountain! He really waited until the perfect moment for the fountain to turn red.
