Haddie Kaur from Dead by Daylight
In Dead by Daylight, Haddie Kaur is a paranormal podcaster / investigator who has visited several sites that were related to the Entity of Dead by Daylight. Many different versions of her have appeared in the lore tomes of Dead by Daylight, covering her close encounters with the monsters of the Entity. Her style reflects her colorful yet practical personality, her white hair streak covered by blue dye, and loud patterned shirts with worn jeans giving way to a theatrical facade hiding how she is haunted by her past.
The Dredge from Dead by Daylight
In Dead by Daylight, The Dredge is the negative thoughts of every member of a 1960s American cult, consolidated into one Boogeyman-esque shadow monster. The Dredge, being non-human and a unique creation of Dead by Daylight, will be difficult to find parts for, but you can adapt some masks by cutting and reassembling them or by building them from scratch if you have the time/skill to do so.
Ahsoka Tano from The Mandalorian
In The Mandalorian, Ahsoka Tano is the lightsaber duel-wielding Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. She made her live-action debut in season 2, where she encountered Grogu and Mando. Rosario Dawson reprises her role in The Book of Boba Fett and her own series, Ahsoka.
Yoichi Asakawa from Dead by Daylight
Unlike many licensed characters in Dead by Daylight, Yoichi Asakawa is not plucked straight from The Ring (1998), but is instead found again over 20 years after he lost his parents to Sadako Yamamura (the original Japanese version of Samara Morgan). Now a brilliant marine biologist, psychic, and paranormal researcher, he finds himself once again haunted and hunted by the Onryo and must use his knowledge and abilities to protect himself and assist others.
Jonah Vasquez from Dead by Daylight
Jonah Vasquez was born to a migrant farmer in Fresno, California who eventually earned enough to send Jonah to a good school. From there, Jonah discovered his gift for mathematics, which eventually led to a job code-breaking with the CIA. He worked hard, balancing his job with his personal morals. But his code-breaking eventually led him down a path that ended with him being taken into the realm of the Entity.
Being a mathematician, Jonah was less used to field work, and his wardrobe reflects that. His shirt can have the white painted on or be substituted for a purple and white hawaiian shirt to accent his laidback position.
Carmina Mora from Dead by Daylight
Carmina Mora, aka The Artist, was a young artist and Chilean political revolutionary who grew up in a troubled home where it seemed like her only allies were the crows (which she did not realize were servants of the Entity of Dead by Daylight). She used her art to assuage the guilt of her younger brother’s death and to fight against political corruption and the disappearance of artists under their regime. Unfortunately, she and her friends were eventually kidnapped and tortured, Carmina herself getting her tongue and hands cut off. As she lay dying, the crows came to save her, only to swarm without mercy on Carmina’s tormentors and friends alike. Carmina ended up lost in her own guilt and now is crow-like in appearance, save for her inky hands, now the weapons of destruction for the Entity instead of tools to create and inspire.
A once beautiful and artistic woman, Carmina’s tight red dress is now torn and covered in feather-like leather pieces, which can be recreated by hand or by repurposing leather pauldrons. You can use liquid black liner to imitate the inky steaks on her face/body and latex gloves to imitate her inky arms.
