Zenitsu Agatsuma from Demon Slayer
Zenitsu Agatsuma is a character in the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He passes Final Selection and becomes a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. But unlike Tanjiro, he is cowardly and easily admits defeat. He has a huge crush on Nezuko, and becomes enraged at Tanjiro for hiding her. Needless to say, Zenitsu has a tendency to overreact.

Beast from X-Men
Beast, or Dr. Hank McCoy, is a founding member of the X-Men. His powers as a mutant include super strength and heightened senses. Despite his animalistic appearance, Beast possesses brilliant intelligence, and can communicate eloquently. He is a professor at the Xavier Institute as well as an activist for the acceptance of mutants in society. This guide follows his comic book iteration. Use the blue paint to cover your entire face as well as to paint the pointed ears. Some appropriate additions might include a pair of glasses and a lab coat.
Tomura Shigaraki from My Hero Academia
Tomura Shigaraki is the Leader of the Villains, and the main antagonist of the anime My Hero Academia. Initially his goal was to kill All Might, but it then became destroying all society. He is the most powerful villain because of his strength and intellect. His Quirk is Decay, meaning whatever he touches with all five of his fingers will disintegrate. The most obvious characteristic is the disembodied hands on his face and body. These hands are actually remnants of his family, after accidentally murdering them with his Quirk. Despite their bizarre appearance, Tomura admits the hands bring him calmness and peace. Our costume guide only features the hand for the face.
Multimouse from Miraculous Ladybug

Her real identity is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a novice fashion designer who takes on the superhero persona of Miraculous Ladybug. She has a huge crush on famous fashion model Adrien Agreste, who takes on the superhero persona of Cat Noir. Similar to how she uses the Ladybug Miraculous to become Miraculous Ladybug, she uses the Mouse Miraculous to become Multimouse.

Lady Noir from Miraculous Ladybug

Her real identity is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a novice fashion designer who takes on the superhero persona of Miraculous Ladybug.

Use an elastic to secure it into a long, single braid. For added detail, use light green paint for the accents.

Yuki Cross from Vampire Knight
Yuki Cross is the main protagonist of the anime series Vampire Knight. She attends Cross Academy. Alongside her friend Zero, she serves as Guardian of the Day Class. This is because the Night Class are actually vampires! She is cheerful and caring with a warm smile. This is her outfit when she is part of the Day Class. If you prefer a more accurate Artemis (her scythe), you can make one from foam and a long dowel. Other options for weapons include fake guns or nunchucks.
Nico Di Angelo from Percy Jackson
Nico Di Angelo is a character in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books written by Rick Riordan. He is a half-blood, specifically the son of Hades. Upon first appearing in The Titan’s Curse, Nico is a curious and nerdy kid who enjoys collecting Mythomagic figures. Once he regains his memories and discovers his parentage, he casts aside his childhood interests and becomes more reserved. His powers are the most fearsome of any demigod. At the end of the series, he comes out and starts dating Will Solace. Nico doesn’t appear in the movie or musical adaptation, so this costume guide is based on the book’s descriptions. Use light makeup to make yourself paler and black eyeshadow to sink in your cheeks.
Beelzebub from Good Omens
Beelzebub (Anna Maxwell Martin) is a supporting character in “Good Omens,” the show based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name. Beelzebub is a demon who parallels Gabriel as the representative of hell. Like Gabriel, they get upset when Adam won’t start the war to end the world. They’re always seen frowning with flies buzzing around them (hence the nickname “Lord of the Flies”). While the character is played by a woman, and this costume guide is designed for women, Beelzebub does not use pronouns in the series.
Mary Sanderson from Hocus Pocus
She smells children! Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy) is one of the antagonists in Hocus Pocus. Along with Winifred and Sarah, she is a witch who plans to use the life force of children to achieve eternal beauty. While she is more clever than Sarah, she is less cunning than Winifred. If you’re not a fan of wigs, you can style your hair upwards using gel and hairspray. It helps to have something to wrap your hair around, like a cup or soda can, so it maintains the shape. Use temporary purple color spray on top and on the bangs.
