Doing the #larpoc3 for my @twin_mask_larp character Riada. Except….. Riada isn’t based off fictional characters per say. I take a lot of inspiration from history and folklore and then I expand from there. Madi Hari is where I started, but Riada is a Seak, a desert nomad, so I wanted to add more of that history to her, and Riada is very asexual. Then, I used to read One Thousand and One Nights and used Scheherazade and her stories as inspiration for Riada’s backstory. Then finally, Riada’s costume and aesthetic is based on Turkish and Ghawazee folkwear. When I look at costuming I always look at historical art. So there is an insight to Riada.
