Netossa from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Netossa is a minor character in the Netflix animated series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She was a part of the original Princess Alliance, and is now a part of the current Princess Alliance. Unlike other princesses, Netossa is not tied to a kingdom or element, but she is an ally to Bright Moon. From the far reaches of Etheria, Netossa is able to cast magic nets to trap enemies. In other words, her powers revolve around energy manipulation. Netossa is rather perceptive, as she identified the weaknesses of the other princesses and figured out how to defeat Catra. She also deeply cares for her wife, Spinnerella. Despite their playful competition, she will do anything to ensure her safety.
Dopey
Dopey is one of the seven dwarves in the Disney animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. He’s doesn’t speak, but he always smiles. His childish antics earn him nothing more than a bop on the head, as all the dwarves know he really is dopey! He climbs onto Sneezy’s shoulders while wearing a long cloak to be tall enough to dance with Snow White, and together they dance to the Silly Song. Apply mascara to achieve his long lashes, and apply pink blush to your nose. Then sew or glue two yellow buttons down the front of the sweater.
Bumblebee
Bumblebee is a character from the DC Comics. Her real name is Karen Beecher-Duncan. After first appearing in Teen Titans #45, she joined the Doom Patrol and the Teen Titans.

Her abilities include shrinking to insect size and a solar powered suit that enables her to fly, launch force blasts, and unleash electrical stings. Use black duct tape to make the diagonal stripes. If you want to show your midriff like the character, you can cut the top to fit higher.
Booster Gold

To recreate the design, all you have to do is cut out a V-shaped hole in the blue leotard, and iron on the blue star.
Boromir
Boromir is a supporting character in Lord of the Rings. Heir to Denethor II, Boromir is a noble man who loves his kingdom, Gondor.

But despite the admiration from his father and fellow soldiers, his desperation to save his country ultimately drives him to try and seize the Ring from Frodo. Spoilers: He dies at the start of the second book, but he does apologize for his betrayal. In the film adaptation, Sean Bean plays this role. You’ve probably seen him in the “One does not simply walk into Mordor” meme.
Lilo and Stitch
Ohana means family, which means no one gets left behind or forgotten about. Lilo and Stitch is Disney animated movie made in 2002.

The alien infiltrates the animal shelter, and Lilo chooses it as her pet. She names it Stitch, symbolizing stitching her family, or ohana, back together. At first, Stitch is mischievous and aggressive, but he eventually learns the importance of Lilo’s friendship. Their bond causes Stitch to defy his intended destructive tendencies to keep the ohana together. After the success of the movie, a spinoff TV series aired on Disney Channel from 2003 to 2006.

She breaks into Westview to try and figure out how Wanda is causing this Hex. The episode concludes with a full reveal of Agatha’s costume that was teased in the “Agatha All Along” opening, as well as the reveal of Wanda utilizing Chaos Magic, making her The Scarlet Witch. Since this outfit is pretty intricate, this guide includes some pieces for an inspired look. Layer the knit shirt over the collar and the dress, and then layer the capes for a similar feel.
