LONG Leadup. Please enjoy.
I attended a comic convention type thing just the other weekend. It was a 3 day event, and it featured a whole bunch of cosplaying competitions, which opened up the ability to have anyone dress up as their character of choice. Once such character is Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 with a white tank-top and black skirt. The girl has natural dark brown hair, pale skin, is incredibly fit (visible stomach lines), and stands just under 5 feet tall. I have a weakness for petite athletic girls.
On day one, she was quite shy and weary about all the people looking at her, which apparently caused people to think twice about asking her for a picture. I felt the same way, considering I had no idea what her age was (my guess being around 18 possibly less) and didn't want to risk coming off as a creepy guy. However, I grew up with Final Fantasy, so I couldn't resist. At one point, I saw her lined up for a group photo-op thing that was announced. I walk up beside her, and tap her arm. She did a half startled jump, half sorry-i'm-in-your-way side step. I immediately realized she was a very shy as she took the guarded pose, so I very formally ask; "would you mind terribly if I took a picture of you?" She then smiles brightly and says "oh sure, ya!" She makes a pose and I snap off a pic. I smile at her and say my thanks. At this point, she maintains eye contact and starts adjusting her hair behind her ear. I nod my head and walk off. At that moment I realize I should have taken a pic of us together, but when I looked back, she had already entered past the lineup entry way.
