Cana Alberona from Fairy Tail

Cana Alberona (voiced by Eri Kitamura and Jamie Marchi) is a potential S-Class Mage and a member of the Fairy Tail Guild in the manga and anime series Fairy Tail.  She is the daughter of Gildarts Clive.  Cana is a heavy drinker, though she hardly ever becomes intoxicated.  She favors revealing outfits and has her guild mark on her left abdomen.  To create your costume, you’ll need a long brown wig and a temporary tattoo to start.  Complete the look with a navy blue bra top, brown capri pants, a pink belt, and navy blue gladiator sandals.

Neopolitan (Waiter Disguise) from RWBY

In this article I’ll be covering the waiter disguise that Neo wears briefly during Volume 7 of RWBY, when she’s gathering information.

In this disguise, her eyes are a bold green, while her hair is black, worn just down to her shoulders, with choppy bangs held in place by two silver barrettes, and tied in the back in a small ponytail. The outfit consists of a black button up shirt, tied with a black neck ribbon, a black vest, black slacks, and black formal heeled shoes.

Whitley Schnee from RWBY

Whitley (voiced in English by Marina Inoue and in English by Howard Wang) is a secondary character in the online animated series, RWBY.

He is Weiss and Winter’s younger brother, and was initially a bit of an antagonistic character, but has a bit of a change of heart later on and leans more in to helping Weiss and her friends.

Whitley looks just like his sisters in appearance, with icy blue eyes, and pure white hair, though his is worn short and styled. He is usually seen wearing a half-sleeved white shirt, a black tie, a blue vest with a matching pocket square to his tie, dark blue slacks, and black loafers.

Princess Jupiter from Sailor Moon

Jupiter has a slightly different way she wears her hair in her princess dress, as she normally wears a hair tie with plastic balls, but in this form she has a green ribbon worn with a pink rose to tie up her hair.

The green ribbon continues into her outfit as well, with one worn around her neck, further accented by a green teardrop necklace. She also has the symbol for Jupiter on her forehead in green, instead of her usual tiara.  Her princess dress is a multi-tone green v-neck sleeveless dress with ribbon straps, and an open slit in the skirt with a sheer ruffle trim down the leg.

Princess Saturn from Sailor Moon

In Sailor Moon, Saturn looks as she usually does in the series in this illustration, but has the symbol of saturn on her forehead instead of her usual tiara, a deep purple ribbon around her neck, and a matching teardrop necklace.

She is one of two scouts in this set that wear a pair of long gloves to match her dress, the other being Pluto, and her dress, despite being dark purple instead, is styled very similarly as well. She only has one strap on either side of her dress top, but has a pointed midsection on the bodice, and like the other outer scouts, it is open on the sides of the skirt to reveal a lighter purple underskirt that flares out to the ground.

Penny Polendina (Formal Dress) from RWBY

Penny (voiced in English by Taylor McNee and in Japanese by Megumi Han) is an important secondary character in the animated series, RWBY.

This is the formal dress outfit that she wears in the episode ‘Dance Dance Infiltration’ in Volume 2.

Penny has short, bobbed, orange hair, with a large pink hairbow clip at the back, and bright green eyes. We only see a very brief shot of her in this dress, and it’s a bit of a tricky color to match, so I’d recommend very carefully dyeing this white one into a close enough pale green shade. The shoes are a similar color of green, but the chosen ones should match just fine. The dress is finished off with a thin, black band-belt.

Princess Pluto from Sailor Moon

In Sailor Moon, Pluto has the same lengthy dark green hair as usual, worn partially up in a small bun at the top of her head, with the main differences to this look being the Pluto symbol on her forehead, a long black ribbon around her neck, and a black and gold teardrop necklace.

Her shiny black princess dress is a little bit more elaborate on the straps than the other outer scouts, with her having two thin straps on each side, both of which are decorated with gold fastenings. The bodice of her dress comes up in a point in the middle of her chest, and the rest of it falls in a similar way to Uranus and Saturn’s, with the sides of the skirt cut away to reveal a lighter underskirt layer. She is also one of the two that wear gloves in this form, with hers being a pair of black opera styled ones.

Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist

Riza (voiced in Japanese by Michiko Neya [2003] and Fumiko Orikasa [2009], and in English by Colleen Clinkenbeard [Funimation Dub] and Muriel Hofmann [Animax Dub]) is a major character in the Fullmetal Alchemist series.

She is Roy Mustang’s closest confidant and personal bodyguard, as well as the military’s best sharpshooter specialist, in addition to her rank as Lieutenant. She also has a pet dog named Black Hayate that she acquired after he was brought in by Fuery, being the only one suitable in the crew for taking care of him.

Riza has long, golden hair, usually worn up in the back with a flat brown clip, and her eyes are a deep chocolatey brown. She also wears silver stud earrings. The main outfit we see her in is a rank-specific Amestrian military uniform, all in that shade of medium blue, with silver detailing everywhere. She also wears black, shin-high boots, and is generally seen carrying some sort of firearm (she has a few, up to you which one would work best for your cosplay purposes, please keep in mind that cons generally have peace-bonding restrictions on prop guns!).

Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Homura (voiced in Japanese by Chiwa Saito and in English by Cristina Valenzuela) is one of the major main characters in the anime/manga series Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

She is a very diversely written character, treading a fine line between being the protagonist and technically being the villain, due to the constant wearing down on her mental state from every new time iteration she goes through to keep Madoka safe. For this one, I’ve chosen to do her main magical girl outfit.

Homura has very long black hair, that she wears a dark headband on, and greyish purple eyes. Her magical girl outfit consists of a white, grey, and black top with a purple ribbon on the neck, a grey and white skirt, and black tights with purple diamonds down the sides, which lead into a sort of high-heel end (I included some flats if you want it to blend in better with the tights, but high heels of choice are also an option). She also carries her reality warping shield while in combat.

Reimi Sugimoto

Reimi Sugimoto is a character in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. She appears in the fourth part, Diamond is Unbreakable. She roams the hidden streets of Moiroh as a friendly ghost, seeking help to bring her killer, Yoshikage Kira, to justice. She later meets Rohan Kishibe and Koichi Hirose, who vow to catch Kira. Reimi recognizes Rohan, for she saved him from Kira when he was a baby. Although trapped in the alleyways, Reimi is a friendly, playful girl. You can usually find Reimi accompanied by her dog, Arnold, who was also Kira’s victim.
