Ok, so im planning on going to AX this coming summer, and considering how i love to dress up, i want to cosplay. I usually make my own costumes for parties etc. so this would be a new challenge for my creativity and seamstress abilities.
What im wondering is what character i should choose. Ive got a lot of ideas, but, well, im caucasian. I was looking around some cosplay forums etc. and got the idea that caucasians fail at cosplaying asian characters. Im pale skinned, and hair can be dyed... but...
And then i also want to make a costume, so schoolgirl or suit (i.e. Integral hellsing) cosplays are out. Anyone know any cool characters i could do? or should i just say screw it and dress as one of my favorate characters even though im not the right nationality?

shinji is a no, im a girl. Im not a fan of CCS :X... the other ideas are interesting, though i prefer more difficult costumes, theyre more fun to make XD. Another idea someone gave me was to cosplay a character from an MMO, so i could be like an RO hunter or something. A L2 cosplay would be fun, i couldnt do the dark elf body ( i wish XD), but one of the humans or elves i could do... *thinks*...

Anime characters are based on Asians facial and body form, you were referring to Sakura Kinamoto from Card Captor Sakura which is an Anime character.

why does it matter if you're not asian? Coslaying is fun and even though i'm not asian it doens't sto me from dressing up like a japanese schoolgirl!
