This is the character I'm gonna dress up as. Everyone keep their fingers crossed for me, because it's taking longer than me or my talented friend anticipated....

Her name is Hikaru and she's from Angelic Layer, a wonderful Japanese Anime about a game. You make an "angel" doll like Hikaru which come alive on the "layer". You control them with your thoughts and fight other angels in competition.
It's very exciting and also emotional as it goes into the character's motivations and why they play. The primary character is Hikaru's owner Misaki who plays it for the first time on the first episode and quickly rises through the competitions. Obviously it's much more complex than all that, but that should give you an idea.
An interesting thing is that it is almost entirely girls who play Angelic Layer.
So, costume wise; the red, white and gold bits are PVC and the black is lycra. I'll post up a pic of me in it when it's done. (Fingers crossed for Saturday.)
