LeCotey is one of the most well-known stars in the cosplay world and has been working for over a decade now. More famously known as Riddle, she is a Canadian model, cosplayer, and costume designer in the United States.
If you are wondering what is cosplay: it is a performance art where participants dress up and portray a specific character inspired by different sources including anime, cartoons, television series, and even video games. Interesting, right?
For Riki, “Cosplay is an outlet to show my love for characters and designs I like.” She says, “I often spend 40+ hours a week on cosplay, between making costumes, social media, and all the other little tasks that have become a standard when taking cosplay full time.”
If we dive deeper into her career, LeCotey has not just been playing characters but she has also been a cosplay judge and special guest at cosplay events all around the world.
She was cast in the reality show Heroes of Cosplay and has worked as a specialty costume designer on movies such as Captain America: Civil War and X-men: First Class. She was also featured in the documentary Cosplay: Crafting a Secret Identity.
