Carbon Costume

Arthur (voiced by Austin Lee Matthews) is a member of the Mystery Skulls team along with Vivi Yukino and their mascot, a kitsune disguised as a dog named Mystery.  Lewis Pepper, a former member of the team, now resides in the Mansion as a ghost, following his death at the hands of Arthur while possessed.  Arthur’s outfit consists of a white shirt with rolled sleeves, an orange vest with three pins, and yellow pants.  His left possessed arm was removed and replaced with a robotic one.  To recreate Arthur’s hair, you can trim up a yellow anime wig, and you can either grow a goatee or draw one on with a brown eyebrow pencil to complete the transformation.

Maggie Pesky (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) is the 13-year-old fly protagonist of the Disney show The Buzz on Maggie.  Maggie dreams of being a rockstar and has psychic visions of the future.  Maggie’s costume includes chunky boots, a yellow skirt, and bright pink hair and socks.  She also often rocks a double-necked guitar, but purchasing one would be an expensive proposition for a costume.  Instead, you could use two inflatable guitars and to create a double-necked prop by cutting off the neck of one and taping it closed after it’s inflated.  If you’d like to take your costume to the next level, you could also follow a DIY tutorial like this one to create additional arms, as Maggie has four.

Gabriel Agreste (voiced by Keith Silverstein in English) is a fashion designer and father to Adrien on the animated show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.  Gabriel’s villainous alter-ego Hawk Moth is the main antagonist of the series, often butting heads with Cat Noir and Ladybug.  Because Gabriel is a fashion designer, his clothing is very clean cut and exact.  He wears a grey vest, white blazer, and red tailored pants with a white dress shirt.  You can use a grey or silver hair wax to style your hair into his trademark pompadour while also imbuing your natural hair with some color.

Giyuu Tomioka is a character from the hit anime, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. Known as the Water Pillar, he is one of the nine Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps. In the first episode, Giyuu encounters Tanjiro trying to save Nezuko. He delivers the harsh truth: she is a demon and she must be killed. When Tanjiro fights back, he is impressed with his skill. Giyuu is rather stoic and unpleasant, as reinforced by Shinobu‘s teasing that nobody likes him. Although unlike the other Hashiras, he shows mercy towards Tanjiro and argues to let Nezuko live.

Bismuth is a character in Steven Universe. She is a former and current member of the Crystal Gems. During the Rebellion, she worked as a blacksmith, but then she got into a conflict of interest with Rose Quartz. Bismuth got bubbled and remained in the Pink Dimension until being freed by Steven. She proposed the same idea that she had to Rose: the Breaking Point, a weapon that could shatter any gems, even Diamonds. Like his mother, Steven rejected this idea and after an intense battle, he bubbled Bismuth again. He brings her back in the final fight against Homeworld, where she rejoins the Crystal Gems. Uzo Aduba, who you might recognize from Orange is the New Black, voices Bismuth. This costume requires some sewing. Sew the pink star onto the apron and the black star onto the right arm of the bodysuit.

Mayaka Ibara is a member of the Classic Literature Club, and attends Kamiyama High School. She also volunteers as an assistant in the library, and is part of the Manga Club. Mayaka can be nit-picky and stubborn, but is nice overall. Mayaka joins the adventures of the Classic Literature Club in Hyouka.

Takita is a young rookie aboard the Draking ship, Quin Zaza, and despite her inexperience, she is not the only quirky one with a mysterious past in the crew. Her time on the ship teaches her life skills and helps her to pay off her debts. The interesting thing about the Quin Zaza crew’s uniforms is that they’re styled not unlike real-world chef uniforms, which seems appropriate for a cooking anime/manga.

Lenore (voiced by Jessica Brown Findlay in Castlevania) is one of the members of Styria’s Council of Sisters. Carmilla placed Lenore in charge of convincing Hector the forge master to join their side again after being tortured and kept as a prisoner for months. Lenore’s personality matches her occupation as the council’s diplomat. She fronts as trusting and kind with good intentions but is actually quite manipulative and works connivingly to get her way. Lenore’s style is quite dainty. She wears a warm outfit due to the cold climate she and her sisters live in. If you are dressing for a summer or warm weather cosplay event I recommend going with something short-sleeved and wearing a lighter white shawl. Make sure to apply blush liberally across your cheekbones! This is a great costume and ideal for any late fall/winter cosplay event or costume party.
