![]() She knew where he would go and attended his Right of Passage Ceremony to see if he would become a true king or not. Lion-O thanked her for her help, hoping he would one day return the favor, and left for an important event. She called him "different" because of his actions. Lion-O took her to a shop that sells artifacts of so-called technology. She also wondered what the prince was doing in the slums. She once followed him into the slums and ended a fight he had with a bunch of alley cats because he defended a dog. ![]() From time to time, Cheetara would grow concerned for the safety of Thundera and was assigned by Jaga to keep an eye on Prince Lion-O (Tygra's adoptive brother and Claudus's biological son). She even kept the heart of the flower Tygra gave her as a child, hoping one day she would see him again. With her training complete, she became a full Cleric and looked up to Jaga as a father figure. Over the years, Cheetara would grow into a beautiful young woman. After many days of sitting in front of the doors and feeding off the petals of the Day Astrid, she collapsed from lack of nourishment, convincing Jaga that she did indeed have patience, finally taking her in to start her training. Cheetara is touched by this and falls in love with him in return. Tygra, having fallen in love with her and watching her all this time, gives her a flower called the Day Astrid (each petal is said to have a day of life within). Cheetara swore she wouldn't leave the front door of the temple until she was given another chance. After failing the initiation test by Jaga, she was cast out because she seemingly had no patience. When she asked Tygra where she could find the Clerics, he led her to them and wished her luck. That was when she first met Tygra, a prince of Thundera and adopted son of Claudus (the current king at the time), who was a guard in his youth and blushed the first time he saw her. It is unknown where she lived at the time, but during her childhood, she came to Thundera to join the Clerics. I'm wearing prosthetic ears, and cosmetic contact lenses.Little has been revealed of Cheetara's past, except for the fact that she was an orphan as a child. Makeup is a blend of Paradise (by Mehron) cake makeup (the orange) and Mehron oil makeup (the alabaster). The wrist/ankle discs are made of foam, and covered in brown veggie leather (which I also used for the accents, harness, and bracers!) The wig was purchased from an anime wigs site, which I then trimmed and styled, putting the spots in with brown sharpie. ![]() For the feet, I modified a pair of Vibram barefoot running shoes by adding fur on top, and claws. ![]() The collar has a layer of sculpture wire inside for support. The main parts of the costume are a very unforgiving orange/brown ultrasuede from the upholstery department, with some added orange spandex inserts for comfort. ![]() I wanted to interpret her a little bit in my 3D recreation, and decided I would do fur accents for the upper arms and lower legs, and paint the rest of myself up. I fell in LOVE with Cheetara's redesign, and she is such a great character. Really, I can't remember the last time I was *this* excited for a costume. I finally debuted it at Boston Comic Con (2012) on the Sunday of the con. Secondly, some details on the costume! I've been working on this thing for months. So firstly, some plugs for the awesome photographer that took this photo, Bill Hinsee! Here is a preliminary pic of my Cheetara cosplay from the new Thundercats series! <3 ![]()
