Let us set aside issues of nationality, gender and ethnicity for just a moment, and simply talk about what an amazing cosplay Hijabi Hooligan has created.

From the custom striped corset to the hand-riveted star on her chest to the artfully distressed hijab — it is incredibly difficult to figure out which aspect of the costume is best. I couldn’t possibly love this woman more.

The one area that might need a little help is the shield — which appears to be made from cardboard. As her cosplay went viral, fans suggested starting a GoFundme page to buy Hijabi Hooligan a proper metal shield to replace her current handmade model.

But the Hooligan has rejected that offer, requesting instead that fans donate to a GoFundme page to help Syrian refugees who are desperate need of aid as their country continues to engage in a bloody civil war.

OK, I lied. I love her more now.
