Jessica Nigri
Description
Jessica Nigri is an American cosplayer, promotional model, and voice actress known for her work in animated series and video games. She first gained public attention in 2009 when her cosplay of a "Sexy Pikachu" at San Diego Comic-Con went viral online, which launched her career in fan conventions and modeling. This early success led to official promotional work for major video game publishers, including Microsoft, Warner Bros., and Ubisoft, where she served as a spokesmodel for titles such as Lollipop Chainsaw, Gears of War 3, and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag.
Nigri transitioned into voice acting through her association with Rooster Teeth Productions. Her most significant and long-running voice role is Cinder Fall, the primary antagonist in the animated web series RWBY. She began voicing this character in 2013 and has continued the role across multiple volumes of the main series as well as the spin-off RWBY Chibi. Also for Rooster Teeth, she provided the voice of Simmons' Lieutenant, a Pink Private, in two episodes of the series Red vs. Blue in 2014.
In 2015, Nigri took on the role of the title character in the English dub of the anime series Super Sonico: The Animation, voicing Super Sonico. This performance matches the user's example of her work in SoniAni: Super Sonico the Animation. Her voice acting work also extends to video games; she reprised her role as Cinder Fall for the game RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and voiced the character Sonico in the English version of the visual novel Sonicomi: Communication With Sonico.
Beyond her performances, Nigris career in cosplay and voice acting has been recognized in a feature documentary. In 2018, Rooster Teeth produced Becoming Jessica Nigri, a film that chronicles her journey from a hobbyist costume-maker to a professional in the entertainment industry, including the challenges of building intricate costumes for major events. While she is a prolific cosplayer known for crafting her own costumes and serving as an ambassador for various game companies, these are her primary documented achievements as a voice actor in the anime and animation space.
