Fenix Fatalist

Fenix Fatalist (Maria Karpenko) is an international cosplayer from Kyiv, Ukraine, with over 15 years of experience and nearly a hundred projects inspired by games and anime.

Known for her thoughtful approach to characters and storytelling, Fenix brings emotion and meaning into every build. Her collaborations with PlayStation and Cygames highlight the global recognition her work has earned and the creative trust she inspires.

As a co-owner of FD Cosplay Studio, she understands every layer of the craft - from the first sketch to the final stitch - and uses that insight to help others bring their visions to life. Her latest project - an e-course “Marketing for Creators”, where she helps other artists navigate the challenges of creative careers and shares her experience.

For Maria, cosplay is about more than creation - it’s about connection, resilience, and the courage to do what you love.
