化好妝，戴上假髮，穿上精美的服裝，這個24歲女孩搖身一變成爲大家所喜愛的虛擬角色。

In the last two years Kristen has dressed up as over 20 different characters and enjoyed photo shoots with some of America's top-photographers.

Kristen's passion for cosplay has been taken to the next level through these sessions.

克里斯汀對於角色扮演的熱情經過這些拍攝活動已經進入了一個新階段。

Where Kristen had previously found it a daunting experience speaking to new people, cosplay gave her a new way of breaking the ice and striking up conversations with just about anyone.

克里斯汀原本十分畏懼和陌生人說話，但角色扮演給她提供了打破沉默並隨時隨地與人交談的新方法。

She admitted: 'I can say that cosplay has helped me a ton with my confidence.

她承認說：“可以說，角色扮演在重振信心上給我的幫助真的太大了。”

'I have always been very quiet and shy, but when I am in costume I come alive. I would say it's because of all the positive reactions I get in costume.

“我原來很安靜害羞，但穿上角色扮演的服裝後我整個人都生動起來了。不得不說，這都得益於服裝帶給我的正能量。”

'At conventions people come up and ask to take pictures of me and tell me they love what I have created.

“在展會現場，很多人湊上來請求和我合影，告訴我他們很喜歡我所扮演的人物形象。”

'It's a really great feeling and has helped boost my self-esteem a lot. Being in costume is also always a great conversation starter.

“那種感覺真的很棒，幫助我提升了自信。穿着角色扮演的服裝也總是開啓對話的好話題。”

'As someone who is shy and not good at approaching others, this has been really helpful for me to get a conversation going and make new friends and contacts in the process.'

“作爲一個害羞且不擅長和別人打交道的人，角色扮演在使對話不冷場、結交新朋友上給予了我莫大幫助。”

And it's not just her fellow gamers that have noticed Kristen's confidence, as the 24-year-old is bolstered by her 20,100 followers of Twitter and near 5,000 on Instagram.

注意到自信的克里斯汀的不僅是角色扮演玩家，這個24歲女孩在推特（Twitter）上已獲得了20100名粉絲的支持，在Instagram有近5000名。
