Full Name Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing
Anime Hellsing
Year Created 2007
Process This costume involved less sewing from scratch, and more careful tailoring. I found this oversized suit in a local thrift store out of a soft, very maliable fabric and immediatly I knew what its true calling was. I spent hours and hooooours (I hate tailoring) remastering it to look like Integra's suit. I had to completely redo the front panel to cross over and replace all the buttons. Finally, after all that was done it was easy sailing. I made the blue tie out of ribbon with the cross broach made of sculpy and gold paint. The glasses I bought a cheap pair of gold glasses at the grocery store and banged out the lenses, reshaping the wire into circles. Add black boots, blonde wig, white gloves and I'm ready to dom some Alucard.
Inspiration Integra Hellsing is my favorite female character of any anime, hands down. As far as I'm concerned she's a diamond in the rough for anime women. To the very core she's tough as nails. I've noticed throughout the years a lot of "strong" female characters at some point always break down and reveal their hardcore attitudes are just a front. Certainly none of this from Integra. She depends on Alucard for her organization, and its possible there is romantic interest, but she's certainly the mistress of her own will.
