Anna Moleva aka Ormeli
In light of the fact that Anya Moleva was officially recognized as the face of [BioShock Infinite](/games?search=BioShock Infinite), it seems absolutely logical (moreover, necessary, yo-ho-ho!) for me to write a few words about her in this themed blog. So, Ormeli.
An athlete, a Komsomol member, and just a beauty – that’s all about her. Ormeli cosplays various characters, leads a healthy lifestyle, reads a lot, and often smiles. If you ever talk to her in real life, you’ll understand that you are in the presence of an incredibly positive and optimistic person, with whom there is always something to discuss, whether it’s games (yes-yes, we are gamers, let’s not deny it!), books, or any of the 100500 subjects that come to mind. But we still know and love her primarily for her gaming cosplay.
Anya began transforming into various heroines at around 17, right after moving to Moscow to pursue higher education at university. She quickly adopted the images of computer moms (though not only them, as they say). As of now, Anya is officially considered a gaming cosplayer, and she already has over two dozen (correct me if I’m wrong) different looks in her portfolio.
Although Anya started actively appearing in front of cameras in 2010 (remember her elven beauty Sifilda from Disciples 3), a particular breakthrough was her cosplay of Elizabeth from [BioShock Infinite](/games?search=BioShock Infinite), which Ormeli worked on in 2011. This image has firmly associated with Anya, and gaming websites have repeatedly called her the most beautiful embodiment of this character.
However, I would personally call the year 2012 the most productive for Anya. Judge for yourself. In January-February-March during the competitive activities at [Miss GAMER](/games?search=Miss GAMER) 2, Ormeli tried on the image of brave Jane Shepard from [Mass Effect](/games?search=Mass Effect): she got a haircut, dyed her hair, and spent countless hours on the costume and role transformation, which ultimately impressed the jury of the contest. First place in the contest, the winner’s crown, and other silver confetti went to her. I believe she deserved it, as Anya performed with poise and grace in all finals and put a final touch to the title dispute with her excellent cosplay performance.
Following her victory in the contest, a series of themed photoshoots followed, and Anya continued to work on her portfolio, creating costumes for Poison Ivy and April O'Neil. In the "plant" image, she later appeared at the recent "Igromir," where overly emotional fans flocked to her feet (by the way, very long ones \_).
And finally, the joyous news of her official recognition became a kind of Christmas present from the cosplay Santa Claus. I believe that for Anya, this is one of the brightest and most impressive compliments to her work and a kind of hint not to stop. She isn’t stopping and is already posing as Empress Jessamine from the fresh Dishonored.
I would add that among the finalists of [Miss GAMER](/games?search=Miss GAMER) 2, Anya appeals to me more than many (but I clarify, not all), although some find her intellectual restraint boring. I assure you, that is not the case at all, and in real life, Ormeli is a very cheerful and charming person, with whom it is always a pleasure to talk. As for me, she could easily be called the girl of the month and featured in this blog at least until the end of December. Because she is awesome, and also a cutie. \_
That’s the news.
I won't upload a million photos since a lot has already been published on the site, and Ormeli has many cosplays. Go ahead and check the links below and visit her page on deviantArt; it's great. :)
