Cayden Vierra -- Spirit of the Fight "I came up with my cosplay name, Cayden Vierra, based on the main character in a story that I began writing in college, but never finished.

Theme and "All About That Bass(w/ Classroom Instruments)" by Jimmy Fallon, Meghan Trainor & The Roots http://www.allthatsepic.com/allthatscosplay/ http://www.twitter.com/allthatscosplay/ http://caydenvierra.storenvy.com/ https://twitter.com/caydenvierra http://instagram.com/caydenvierra https://www.facebook.com/CaydenVierra

In her own words... "I enjoy getting absorbed in any character. I've had a life filled with trauma and incredible moments that allow me to tap into a wide spectrum of emotion. I have lived a life that has overflowed with trauma, disaster, beauty, and inspiration that has enabled me to tap into just about any emotion. I am a type A strong personality with a great sense of humor and, coming from poverty and abuse, I worked my way out of that life and up the corporate ladder. I'm a self-taught success story with a great business sense and strong work ethic. I left the corporate world after 8 years in banking and began to pursue my passions: modeling, acting, singing, writing, cosplay and costume creation, amongst others. Even though it's not making me rich (yet!), I'm happier and even more fueled with passion than ever. I'm a go-getter and self-starter. Let's create something beautiful together."
