OUR MASCOT CHERRI
Cherri ties together hints of Las Vegas culture with a kawaii / lo-fi aesthetic as her base inspiration. She embodies the youth of Las Vegas, as a relatable young girl who loves attending anime events. At conventions there are several places you can find her: playing TCG in the game hall with her friends, shopping for kawaii apparel and plushies in the exhibitor hall, learning about the craft with her favorite voice actor's panels, performing her hip-hop styled skit for the masquerade, or rocking and raving at the late night dance.
Cherri is a creative soul, and loves to coordinate her outfits and cosplay to the theme of the times. In future years of Sin City Anime, we will take on different themes and alongside us, Cherri will cosplay and represent us with her creative outfits.
Our beautiful mascot concept was commissioned and created by the artist HideawayMelon!
