Notable cosplayer Irina Meier recently uploaded their new Lenore cosplay to Instagram, and is gaining attention. Meier brings Lenore to life, embodying her Season 3 appearance, complete with the regal black and blue dress, decorative belt and necklace, and perfect hair styling.Unlike another recent Lenore cosplaywhich shows the character at her most bold and daring, Meier opts to present Lenore’s reserved and thoughtful side, as if she is considering her next play or trying to seduce Hector.
Despite the effortless nature that this cosplay exudes, according to Meier, it was one of the hardest cosplays they had ever done. In the description of the post Meier describes their difficulty, saying, “What’s the problem? Her unique strange face and emotions!” Meier explains that Lenore’s “sexy and dangerous vibe” was difficult to capture on photo, struggling to give those features life. Although Meier saw this as a problem, in some ways it is ironically, still an aspect of Lenore’s character, as she tries finding herself inSeason 4 of theCastlevaniaanime.
Season 4 may have ended Lenore’s story, and those of many other characters, but it is not the end for theCastlevaniaanime. Shortly after the final season dropped, it was announced that aCastlevaniaNetflix spin-off series is in developmentfollowing Richter Belmont and Maria Renard. Not only does this mean more vampire-hunting goodness, it also means Meier can continue to cosplay more characters from the series. Now if Konami would just green light a new, fullCastlevaniagame, then all would be well.
