Alix Shackelford known as Trinket in the cosplay world has been cosplaying since 2010. After she rekindled her love of sewing in college she has taken the hobby and ran with it. She loves the stage most of all though and her love of performance has lead her to many costume awards both for craftsmanship and for performance.

Most of her recent work has been done with Bloody Trinkets Cosplay a cosplay competition team that merges her love of sewing and BloodCountess's unique leather and prop work. They have been traveling along the west coast competing for the last few years including competing in the Anime Expo Masquerade as well as for the USA World Cosplay Summit Preliminaries. 

Cosplay isn't her only passion, and she fills every other second of her life with roller derby and pole fitness, and she still finds down time to spend with her husband and daughter.
