4 comments

The lovely and popular cosplayer, Jessica Nigri, has been announced as the winner of the recent "Search for Juliet" contest, a competition aimed at finding a new face to represent the Lollipop Chainsaw's main character, Juliet Starling.

What is Lollipop Chainsaw you ask? It's a twisted zombie slaying, action game that tells the 'un-deadly' story of sweet and kill zombie-hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak.

"Surviving the cut out of 15 finalists, and voted on by the fans themselves, Jessica embodies all the sweetness of Juliet Starling, while displaying the right amount of spice," the company said. "Then she takes that spice, shoves it down some zombie throats and polishes it off with a succulent strawberry lollipop."

As the new face for Lollipop Chainsaw's resident zombie slayer, Jessica will take her role to the next level with live appearances at events and in upcoming trailers.

Fans attending GDC will likely have a chance to see Jessica live, and a new live-action Lollipop Chainsaw trailer looks to be coming soon.
