Cosplayer Leira ‘leiracosplays‘ shared her jaw dropping transformation into the character, and chose to portray her swimming outfit from Book 3’s popular episode, The Beach.  The artist posted a side-by-side shot comparison to show how accurate the depiction is to the animation.

Incredibly, Leira perfectly re-creates the Ty Lee’s signature stretching stance from the show, which she learned from her acrobat training. Her outfit mirrors the one in the episode, including her white skirt which has red lining.

This isn’t the first time the cosplayer has dressed up as an Avatar character. On Instagram, she also shared her work depicting Northern Water Tribe Princess Yue, who is a pivotal character in Book 1’s season finale. Just like Ty Lee, her portrayal of the heroine is mind-blowing.
