This new telling of the Star Ship Enterprise brings much more dynamic range and agency to the character of Christine Chapel. She’s strong, nuanced, wicked smart… and absolutely in love with Spock. Elements from the original show are given new life here, and it’s a joy to see more about these characters.

This week’s Star Trek cosplay feature comes from Sci-Fi queen Vampisaurus, who is renowned for her outstanding sci-fi heroine cosplays. She brings Nurse Chapel to life with elegance and a hint of mystery. She obviously loves Star Trek and has cosplayed many characters, both original and canon. Check out her Nurse Chapel and give her work a follow if you’re into sci-fi and space travel!

“Relationships, at least for humans, can be quantum things. Like Schrodinger’s Cat. They exist or they don’t depending on who’s observing them.”
Spock: “That is…”
Chapel: “… not how quantum superposition actually works? Yeah, I know. It’s a metaphor, Spock. A messy one. Just like whatever this is.”

“Yeah, it’s terrible. Let’s get to it, then.”

“Spock is — he’s my friend. And maybe sometimes, I wish that we had more connections. But when you healed him, you changed him. You made him easier to talk to. Someone who probably understands my feelings a little better. But that’s not him. At least it’s not all of him. Because you took away the other part, a part that I was connected to. And I miss him as he was.”

“Have you ever been engaged, Mister Spock? Yes, it’s Roger.”

“Roger, what’s happened to you? When I sat in your class, you wouldn’t even dream of harming an insect or an animal. Their life was sacred to you then.”
