✨The portal opens and panelist Kaggy emerges! ✨
"Hello Everyone! I am Kaggy! A local Tennessee cosplayer of 4 years! I have been hosting panels for most of that time, and am absolutely honored to be a guest for the first time at Yama Con 2026! Please join me in celebrating our favorite fandoms this December as me and all my fellow panelists host exciting games, interactive fan meetups, loud and proud sing a longs, deep dives into confusing video game lore, and much more! You may know me for my deep love for Dungeons and Dragons, Mouthwashing, and all things Hellaverse! I hope to represent all of them well, and challenge myself to create panels I haven’t run before! My main passion is connecting all my favorite interests with real world culture and history! Seeing how our beliefs are represented in the media we love always intrigues me, and I find it beautiful that people with many differences can all gather to love the same things. My hope is by bringing attention to this we can all be more loving and kind to one another! "
