My name is Anaka and if I had to describe myself in a paragraph, I would say that usually I’m a very funny, outgoing person. I like helping my friends with their problems as they always come to me for help because I’m very good at advice. Sometimes I have trouble taking things seriously and turn almost everything into a joke to avoid getting too emotional as it’s also a way I deal with problems. I like hanging out with my friends even though I would call myself an introvert. You’re more likely to see me at home listening to music, sleeping, or watching Netflix rather then out at the mall with my friends. But when I am with other people, I can be an extrovert when I need to be. I’m good at starting conversation and making things less awkward. If I was to have a tribute costume it would be something funny to catch the crowd’s attention because I think it would be unexpected. 

I would say that my whole costume is innovative because you definitely wouldn’t see anyone in a costume like this because obviously everyone would be taking the games really seriously, unlike myself. I generated my ideas by trying to put my personality into an outfit and I think it turned out pretty accurate. I think my best quality is making serious and sad situations less upsetting, and I think my costume really represents that. Maybe if I was to do this again I would pick a more casual outfit but I wouldn’t switch it out for the costume I chose.
