I've been an Avatar: the Last Airbender fan since high school. I watched most of it live (although living at two houses with cable at only one made that somewhat difficult). I think it is one of the most incredible shows to have ever existed; it remains light-hearted while tackling heavy concepts. The characters are real, relatable, and their struggles are incredible to watch.

 

This is, I'm sure, the first of many A:TLA and LoK cosplays that I will do. I decided to start with Kyoshi because... well, she's a badass. She wears an awesome kimono, a bitchin' headdress, and a full face of makeup and can destroy anyone she comes across with her deadly fans. She trained the Dai Li, for heaven's sake.
