Schierke Is One of The Many Intriguing Characters In Berserk

Berserk contains a host of astounding characters with interesting backstories. The protagonist, a black-clad swordsman named Guts, is on a revenge mission against Griffith, leader of the Band of the Hawk. Griffith and Guts had a somewhat amicable relationship as fellow comrades, until Griffith committed many atrocities to transform into a demonic being known as Femto. Griffith also violated Guts' loved one, Caska, plunging her into madness. From that point, Guts embarks on a nightmare voyage to bring Caska to safety in the land of the elves, fending off the demonic Apostles every night.

Berserk's grim tone famously shifted towards a more classic Fantasy at one point, and this coincided with the introduction of Schierke, a young witch who s the Black Swordsman Party and becomes an ally of Guts, helping him and his companions reach Elfhelm. Schierke's magical powers, learned under the tutelage of her master Flora, helped Guts' group on many occasions. She can communicate with spirits to enact powerful spells, including telepathy, spells that create fire, and astral projection.

Ashiryanaa's cosplay captures Schierke's look as she appears in the 2016 Berserk anime, not missing a single detail of her brightly-colored ensemble, recognizable hair, and trademark accessories. Another spectacular aspect of their cosplay is the stoic and thoughtful expression on the cosplayer's face as they stare observantly into the distance of this mystical forest. Their pensive countenance does a phenomenal job of capturing the personality of Schierke, who often seems to be rather reserved and soft-spoken in the anime series.

Every feature of Ashiryanaa's cosplay is amazingly well-crafted, impressively handmade, and perfectly conveys all the personality traits of Schierke from Berserk.
