Fans of the Witcher games are very familiar with the red-haired mage, as she is a main character in the series. Triss is also one of the most powerful wielders of magic, and aids protagonist Geralt of Rivia throughout the story.
Prolific artist ‘irine_meier’ shared her jaw-dropping outfit of the heroine on May 20 to celebrate the game’s five year anniversary. The cosplayer transformed into Merigold, wearing her iconic green and gold leaf dress which was added as DLC.
Photographer ‘oltaura‘ captured Irine posing in front of a backdrop that could easily be mistaken for a scene from out of the game. The picture shows the insane detail that went into her costume, including the leaf trimming, and her iconic crest belt buckle.
