Arda has been in operation since 2009 and Harl has been cosplaying since 2004. Her interests include gardening, banging on sheet metal, Kingdom Hearts, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, video games, and writing about herself in the third person, a skill she learned in college and puts to decidedly good use when someone asks for a pseudo-humorous short biography.
Thanks, college.

About Remie
In her spare time, Remie likes to make costumes, play games, take care of her ball python, and ride horses. She specializes in English hunt seat and would one day love to show horses professionally. She also takes an interest in dinosaurs (big time), animals, Chun-Li, comics, spicy food, traveling, the Renaissance, more dinosaurs, and candy. Her favorite dinosaur is the Giganotosaurus. Yeah, she really loves dinosaurs.
Job @ Arda: Customer order support, inventory management, and shipping.
About Malindachan
Armed with a can of hairspray as her weapon of choice, Malindachan is all about her wigs. She taught herself to style wigs so she could cosplay her favorite overly-spikey-haired YU-GI-OH! characters, and eventually this led to her habit of selecting characters based on who's hair looked the most ridiculous. As a gamer Malinda loves to play RPGs, her favorites being Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, and the Tales series. Other favorite things include One Piece, animated films, magical girls, sweets, nostalgic things, and owls.
Encouraged to pursue her artistic talents, she earned a Bachelor’s in Art with a concentration in 3D Computer Animation. She feels she can best exercise her range of abilities through cosplay. She learned to sew at a young age, and other than her Jigglypuff costume attempt at age 11, she started making her own costumes in 2004 and actively cosplaying in 2007.
Job @ Arda: Customer support, and social network management.
About Ex-Shadow
Is he an alien? Is he a cyborg from the future? Perhaps an ancient organism from the distant past surviving millions of years. Or quite possibly just another crazy geek with an eye for anime and a talent for costumes.
From what we have gathered, he grew up in Missouri, got a BA in Illustration, and has been causing mayhem from day one of his existence…if you ever see him, approach with extreme caution.
His interests include (but are not limited to) Trigun/Trigun Maximum, Transformers, One-Piece, Marvel, Avatar, Anything by Tim Burton, Gundam, Halo, Skyrim, Fable, Pokemon, Digimon, Lord of the Rings, food, exotic pets, Star Wars, And many, many other similar shows and games and memorabilia which fall in between.
