Who did Sue cosplay as in Genshiken Nidaime episode 9? It looks a bit like
Canaria from _Rozen Maiden_ , except the doll doesn't have a crown.

Who did Sue cosplay as in Genshiken Nidaime episode 9?


The outfit is almost identical to one of the outfits of Meruru (or, more
properly, Princess Merururinsu Rede Arls), the titular character of the
popular JRPG [Atelier
Meruru](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atelier_Meruru:_The_Apprentice_of_Arland).
Here's a comparison of the two.

Sue (ignore the fact that the background is stitched together):

Meruru in her Alchemist costume:

I don't think I need to point out the similarities, but in particular the
design of the skirt, the straps on the front of the dress, the wand, the bow
on the neck, the crown, the hair style, and the flowers on the outfit are all
the same.

In addition, it seems that Sue's dialogue of the episode references Meruru, so
there's no doubt that this is who Sue was cosplaying as.
