First off, I am blown away by the amount of love I received for my Jester costume!!! She was amazing to make, so much fun to wear, and all around an incredible experience from start to finish!! I have a bad habit of getting sucked into details but I think it worked in my favor this time around! There were so many little things about Jester’s outfit I wanted to get just right, and fussing over them was honestly half the fun.

The beautiful photos taken of the completed costume were done by a dear friend of mine @ivorivet, who isn’t just a fantastic photographer, but also an amazingly beautiful talented cosplayer in her own right!! I can’t thank her enough for doing my solo shoot and I love her to bits 💖💖💖

Other helping hands are credited to @dontevenlikecoconut, @centeris2, and @artofnana, who all did little tasks on other costumes so I could focus on Jester, or drove me up packages from home so I didn’t lose my mind the night before con. 💙💙💙

I did something a little different this time around with my WIPs! If you follow me on instagram (pearlybaecosplay) then you would have seen the hell crunch that was on my insta stories all month!! If you missed it, no worries!! I saved all my Jester WIPs onto a collection on my insta profile, if people were interested in seeing extra details and some video progress.

One last thing before I let y'all go; my ko-fi is still active!! So if you like my work and appreciate these big costume writeups, please consider donating a coffee or two!! The link is available on my blog, or you can type in pearlybae at the site and find me that way!

As per usual, more details of how I made this costume are under the cut!! 🍭

Mariana the Story teller

(D&D character and background)

Mariana is 33 which she knows is a little old to start adventuring but she doesn’t care, besides 33 is a lucky number.

Even as a child she was charming and beautiful and as she grew into adulthood she caught the eye of one of the most influential men in town. His family were the wealthiest merchants in their village and though as the youngest son he was not to inherit it and showed no interest in politics his name still held sway. When he started to court her, she was still young enough to think that the secret attentions from the older man were exciting.

She was a week shy of her 18th birthday and 2 months shy of her due date when she got married full of love and hope. She settled down and built a home and a garden and a life. She had three more children if you count her husband, who never seemed interesting in settling down himself, and she spent 10 years cooking, cleaning, and mending. That love and hope were drained out of her as she was expected to constantly care for a full grown man as well as children. When her youngest was finally potty trained she put her foot down, no more children. She had spent 8 years cleaning up other people’s poop, and she was done. This caused some tension with her husband, who had never changed a diaper, and the next year or so was not very pleasant for them. 

He took his temper out on everyone and his widowed mother did very little to help keep him in line as she had lost both her husband and her older two children. The extra money and power did little to mature him and he quickly became somewhat of a tyrant in all his dealings outside of the home as well as in it.

A week shy of her 28th birthday he arrived, he was young for a wizard but wore the hat and robe anyway even though his beard was far from impressive. He rolled into their small village in a brightly painted wagon pulled by a pair of mules. And he changed her life. He sold books, but was happy to lend them out so long as they were returned before he had to leave. She read book after book late nights by the fire as she devoured novels, treatises on herbal healing, collections of essays on politics, anything she could get her hands on. She never knew there was this much to the world and in her burned a hunger to see it. She deserved her own story, not to be picking up socks in someone else’s.

A series of events the day she turned 28 changed everything and lit the cluttered underbrush that was her life into a full out forest fire. One, she found a book on magic and something in her finally found words to express itself. This was real magic not the plot pushing dribble of children’s stories. Two, her husband accused her of having an affair with the wizard and the resulting fight was loud enough it could even be heard over the music in the tavern, where the blushing wizard slowly sipped his ale as everyone pended not to listen or stare. Three, her husband raised his hand to her. The bitterness and rage in her crystallized and the vicious mockery with which she responded put him into a coma. She didn’t stick around to see how long it lasted. Over the next few days she sold their house, packed up what she and her children needed, and prepared to leave town. No one said anything to her about the fight or her husband, she wore her bruise and her still boiling anger for all to see. But despite her neighbors pretending nothing had happened it was apparent the town was relieved. 

In less than a week she left her husband in the care of his mother and she took her children and her dreams elsewhere. They settled down with her sister and she found a Bard school near by. Desperate to learn more of the world she took a job there in the kitchen but they soon moved her into full time training when her story got out. She stayed just long enough to see her children settled into apprenticeships, her youngest heading off to the wizarding academy and then she headed off to see the world.
