STRUCK FIRST: Zalaria Cosplay as Bridal Tharja!
Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.
I can pretty much leave it to Zalaria Cosplay to create outfits based around literally ALL of my Fire Emblem waifus. Today, she makes a return to Tharja in a beyond gorgeous Bridal version seen as a skin/version in Fire Emblem Heroes. In keeping with her original outfit, the color scheme remains the same with purple, dark blue, gold trims and black. The latter color mainly in the see through mesh covering Zalaria's torso. The wig is most likely the same used in her original Tharja, but the crown is more fancy and thin. A lighter purple veil can be seen directly behind the wig. As you travel down the cosplay, the top is a bra like shape in dark blue with that gold trim. From the middle section, you have fabric traveling down to her waist. Here this piece also has an emblem done in gold.
From there is an explosion in extravagance. The giant bottom piece has a separation in the middle which I imagine helps with movement. The fabric choice is very shiny and again is that rich shade of dark blue. Purple sashes along with black are up near the top of this piece, more closer to Zalaria's waist. Going up quickly to her arms, they're full on blue sleeves with gold loops seen on one of her shoulders. The collar piece also makes a return as it's seen connecting the black see through mesh on Zalaria's arms. Her fingers are fully exposed with the odd ends of her sleeves.
GIRLS GOT STOCKINGS AND HEELS FOR DAYS TOO <3. Prop wise, she has a single bouquet of flowers seen in some of the shots. Speaking of which, the location these were taken in is so unreal. Not only is it fitting for the character's outfit, but the post edits and lighting is just so beautiful. Zalaria released so many more photos (plus a lewd Wedding Night/lingerie take) on her Pateron and THEY'RE SO GOOD <3. Check out these shots for a taste of what you're missing :D
Zalaria is one of my favorite gals and I love being able to share her perfect cosplay work with you all. She's planning another Fire Emblem waifu courtesy and FE: Heroes so I'M ALL HYPED! Check out her Patreon for more if you wanna pledge, as well as links to her other sites!
