Posey from Living Dead Dolls

Posey is from the first run of Living Dead Dolls, and is labeled as a ‘buried alive’ character.

She has extremely long golden-auburn hair worn in a mid-part, fully whited out eyes with blue ringing them and matching lipstick, and a wound over her eye. Her outfit is similar to an old styled nightgown, but weathered in a way that looks like it was saturated in mud. Her doll accessory is a single white rose.

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.

Olivier Mira Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Olivier (voiced in Japanese by Yōko Sōmi and in English by Stephanie Young) is an important character in the later half of the Fullmetal Alchemist series, only seen in the manga and Brotherhood.

Like her younger brother Alex, she is part of the army that the majority of the rest of the cast report under, and is a high ranking Major General, stationed at Fort Briggs of Amestris. While known for her steady and unrelenting leadership, leading to her having the nickname of ‘Ice Queen’, she also cares very deeply for her subordinates, giving them unexpectedly leeway while still maintaining a front of control.

Olivier has the same light golden hair as the rest of her family, worn long and down over one eye, with her other visible one a very pretty blue. Her lips are also very full and glossy. The uniform she wears is a slightly different version to the regular Amestris army one that we see, as she’s stationed in a much colder place. The base uniform is still the same, in those specific shade of blues and silvers, but she wears a thick black coat with a white fur trim over top, with white gloves, and shin-high black boots. Her weapon of choice is a sword that she keeps on her person.

Eggzorcist from Living Dead Dolls

Eggzorcist is part of the first series run of Living Dead Dolls, and the first one to have an animal theme, that being an Easter Bunny.

She has short cut purpley-blue hair, a red x on her forehead, blue lips, and extremely vibrant light blue eyes with red and black makeup surrounding them. Her outfit consists of a full white rabbit onesie complete with a hood with bunny ears, a noose drawstring, and a white Easter basket.

Princess Venus from Sailor Moon

Like the others, Venus wears her hair pretty much in the same way as she does in her other forms, with the Venus symbol being the one major difference, as it appears on her forehead in gold.

She has a long bowed golden ribbon worn around her neck and a matching golden teardrop necklace. Her dress is a golden split toned sleeveless dress with ribboned straps, a high waisted top, and lighter toned multilayered ruffled pieces over a golden inner layer.

Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Sayaka (voiced in Japanese by Eri Kitamura and in English by Sarah Williams) is one of the major characters in the anime/manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

She was one of the first ones out of the group (in the timeline we first see) to awaken her magical girl form through the wish she made to heal the boy she had feelings for, but once she found the feelings weren’t reciprocated, she started to spiral. She thankfully was able to connect with Kyoko after that.

Like Kyoko, Sayaka has a monochromatic color scheme when it comes to her hair and eyes, with both being about the same shade of blue. Her magical girl outfit is much the same, with a hard shelled blue bodice piece, a white corset-styled button up white midpiece, a layered up blue and white offcenter skirt, and detached sleeves with white gloves. She also wears a white and gold capelet, long white and blue socks, and teal short high heeled boots.

Ventus from Kingdom Hearts

Ventus (voiced in Japanese by Kōki Uchiyama and in English by Jesse McCartney) is one of the main characters in Birth by Sleep, and a prominent character in a large amount of the other titles in the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise.

He is one of the characters that actually has their origins even earlier in the timeline, coming from the time of the KHUX characters instead of just BBS like we originally thought. He is also part of the trio of wielders that trained under Master Eraqus, and is the body that Vanitas was pulled from.

Ven has spiked up blonde hair, similar in style to Roxas, and vibrant blue eyes. He wears a multilayered outfit, with a black sleeveless turtleneck, a striped undervest, a split monochromatic cropped short sleeve jacket worn with a black x strap clasped by a silver version of the wielder emblem, a metallic armor patch on his shoulder that forms into the keyblade armor, and an inverted version of Roxas’ wristband. He also has segmented gold and blue waist armor over top of multitoned cuffed capri pants, and armored shoes.

Squigly (Sienna Contiello) from Skullgirls

Squigly (voiced in Japanese by Miyuki Sawashiro and in English by Lauren Landa) is one of the DLC characters in the fighting game, Skullgirls.

While her life as Sienna is covered through the backstory part of her story mode, she’s seen in the rest of the game modes as her undead form, Squigly. Like Filia, she is connected to a parasite, hers being named Leviathan, and he is the being that is keeping her in a ‘living’ form. Her fighting style closely incorporates Leviathan, and also uses song in attacks.

Squigly has light blue skin and dark blue hair worn in two pigtails in red ties (I didn’t include materials for Leviathan, but may try to make a tutorial later), a stitched shut mouth, and intense red eyes. She wears a low cut dark magenta shirt with scooped sides, a giant cartoony skull over her chest, red and white striped disconnected sleeves with a starry flared base over her hands (one of which is skeletal), her skirt is tight and dark blue, with the same sort of flare at the end, with cutouts circling the base, a pair of red and white striped stockings, and it’s finished off with a tall black collar with a white x at the front.

Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist

Envy (voiced in Japanese by Mayumi Yamaguchi [2003] and Minami Takayama [2009], and in English by Wendy Powell) is one of the major antagonists in the Fullmetal Alchemist series.

He (dependent on form) is one of the sin-named Homunculi in the series, is usually seen as a trio with Lust and Gluttony, and takes a large amount of delight in tormenting Ed. Envy is a shape-shifter and is able to take on the appearance of any character, down to vocal mimicry, even if the person exists or not. Envy’s other two main (true) forms are akin to a large green dragon and a small green leech-like creature.

Depending on the series (03 vs Brotherhood) Envy has prominently green hair or green-tinted black hair (I went with a dark green to hit the middle), and purple eyes. His outfit consists of a cropped, sleeveless black top, black shorts with a skirt-like piece over top of it, black sleeveless gloves and matching black spats. Finish off the look with the Ouroboros tattoo on your leg, the homunculi markings are already on the back of the shirt piece so you won’t have to worry about that.
