Cassian Andor
In Andor, Cassian Jeron Andor (Diego Luna) is a thief whose planet was destroyed by the Galactic Empire’s mining project. He starts out as a cynic only looking out for himself, and gradually transforms into a reluctant revolutionary and then together with Jyn Erso and others, a hero of the Rebellion.
Doris the Ugly Stepsister from Shrek 2
In Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, Doris (voiced by Larry King!) is one of Cinderella’s step-sisters, who works as a bartender. She puts forth Puss in Boots to King Harold for the task of assassinating Shrek. Eventually she ends up as part of Princess Fiona’s inner circle. Whether she’s ugly is subjective — Simon Cowell certainly thinks so — but her makeup with gaudy eyeshadow, pencil-thin eyebrows, and prominent mole, is ultimately what makes or breaks this cosplay.
Penny from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Penny is a student in the same grade at the Academy as the Pokemon trainers. She’s rather shy and always wears her big fluffy Eevee bag on her back.
Mercury from Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls
Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls is a cartoon concept that was pitched to Hasbro by Lauren Faust. Although Hasbro passed on it, it eventually morphed into the highly successful My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. MWGG is inspired by the 90’s Strawberry Shortcake series, with a dash of the anime Sailor Moon, with the girls as the personification of different planets. Mercury’s winged sneaker-skates propel her through the cosmos in a shimmery silver flash at the speed of light.
Pokémon Trainers from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are set in the Paldea region, where the trainers are students at either Naranja or Uva Academy. They take part in the annual treasure hunt, where they must explore the open-ended world, defeat rival students on Team Star, fight giant Pokémon, and battle Gym Leaders to become the best Pokémon Trainer.
Grusha from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Grusha is a Pokemon trainer and the Gym Leader of Glaseado Gym in the Paldea region. He used to be a professional snowboard, but is now an Ice-type specialist with Cetitan as his partner.
Daemon Targaryen from House of the Dragon
In House of the Dragon, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) is brother to King Viserys I. He’s equally skilled as a dragonrider — mounting the dragon Caraxes — and as a warrior — wielding the Valerian steel sword Dark Sister. He’s also gifted in the art of instigation. He later weds his niece, Queen Rhaenyra (Just Targaryen Things). Easily convert this Daemon costume to Aemond’s by adding an eye patch.
Cat Noir from Miraculous Ladybug
Robin Arellano from The Black Phone

Mayura from Miraculous Ladybug
In Miraculous Ladybug, Mayura (real name Nathalie Sancoeur) is a sidekick to Gabriel Agreste / Hawk Moth, assisting him in stealing miraculouses with the help of the Peacock Miraculous. As Nathalie, she takes care of Adrien; as Mayura, she’s willing to destroy Cat Noir and Ladybug.
