A Nightingale from Skyrim!

| A male Nightingale from Skyrim. Affectionately called "Big Guy". |
Well, not quite like that, but when I can't see details on the female version, this guy comes in handy! I call him "Big Guy".

There we go! Much better. As you can see, her arm guards are hard to see, while Big Guy has his more visible. This is why you need multiple references.
I also looked for any cosplayers who had posted pictures or helpful tips for this cosplay and I found:

Her Skyrim cosplays are AMAZING! And her Nightingale cosplay how-to is very helpful! A lot of what I have done is based on what she has done. She was even nice enough to reply to my questions about the cape/cloak (now referred to as a "clape").

A dollar store broad sword ($2)
