Name: Melissa van L.
Location: Amersfoort
Bio: My name is Melissa and I’m a Jedi knight. I have a lot of small and big fandoms, but my biggest ones are Star Wars and Legend of Zelda. Being a fangirl made me get into cosplay, and I cosplay my favorite characters! Half the stuff in my closet is fandom merchandise and I make a lot of fan art!
Think back. Way back. What was your first fandom?
That was Lord of the Rings, a friend of mine gave the trilogy to me and after that I got into fantasy and sci-fi stuff.
If you could cosplay any character, who would it be?
It’s still a dream to do both Clone Wars Ahsoka and Rebels Ahsoka; she is my favorite female Star Wars character!
What does it mean to be a fangirl?
To me it means I can share pop culture with other fangirls which is very important to me, just by being in the same fandom can get you so many good friends!
