Women of Cosplay – LARP
We are the Warrior Woman. The artists, the Adventurers, those who cannot be tamed. Our battle cry is fierce, our armor is strong, and we are here to take over the world.
LARP isn’t just for the boys with toys. Oh no. There is an incredible, diverse, powerful assortment of women out there rocking some incredible builds, attending events all over the world and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies. One amazing LARPer, Sonja’s Adventures, has given the call to arms and is documenting their stories. Her page is chock full of cosplayers, LARPers, and the multitude of events they appear at. This week we take the first peek into their world.
Sonja’s Adventures
One girl. One stupid idea. 90 videos.
“Hi, I´m Sonja and I am turning my life around.” Sounds like a cool slogan, huh? Well that´s exactly what I did: crushing procrastination and living a wild, adventurous life.
Traveling through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, doing Live Action Roleplay, starting my own business: The world is my oyster and I would love to take you with me.
This is the story of how it all started…
“Strong women aren’t simply born. We are forged through the challenges of life. With each challenge we grow mentally and emotionally. We move forward with our head held high and a strength that can not be denied. A woman who’s been through the storm and survived. We are warriors.”

“I am a warrior in the time of women warriors; the longing for justice is the sword I carry.”
