STORY
I LOVE RWBY!! (An anime created by Rooster Teeth) I’m lucky to be a part of the RWBY BC Cosplayers! So far, I cosplay as Ruby, and in memory of our group, I’ve selected colors and flavors which represent the four team-mates, allowing me to bring forward their personalities within a sip of tea! I dedicate this tea to team RWBY and my amazing Con-munity I’m proud to be a part of!
