Oerba Dia Vanille is a playable character and the narrator in Final Fantasy XIII. She is a mysterious young girl who carries a dark past, along with a heavy burden that the others are initially unaware of. Despite facing many hardships, she remains an upbeat and caring person; though her cheerfulness is mainly a façade she uses to hide the inner guilt she has felt for over five centuries.
In the English dub, she and Fang share a similar Australian accent. Her full name stands for "Vanille of the Dia clan, from the village of Oerba".
I chose to cosplay as Vanille, because she is a sweet, bubbly girl who I love greatly. In some cases, people hate her because of that. Not me. She is one of my favourite Final Fantasy girls and always will be among the list.
