Sora Suzuki leaves her countryside town of Bei for a magic internship in Tokyo. To honor her late father, Sora spends her summer working towards her mage license.

Entrapta is a supporting character in the Netflix series She Ra and the Princesses of Power. She is the princess of Dryl. Despite having no magical powers, she knows a lot about technology and can use her pigtails as extra limbs. After accidentally being abandoned by the Princess Alliance, she became a member of the Horde. The princesses then find her banished on Beast Island and recruit her with the Rebellion for good. Entrapta is bubbly and cheerful, yet she often gets distracted by tech. After realizing that her actions can affect others, she grows closer with the other princesses. Creator Noelle Stevenson has confirmed that Entrapta is on the autism spectrum.

Misunderstood and bullied since childhood, blue-skinned shapeshifter Mystique (played onscreen by Jennifer Lawrence and Rebecca Romijn) truly understands anti-mutant oppression. Her early experiences of mistreatment shaped her stance in the fight for mutant equality — or even dominance, as her leader, Magneto, gravitates towards.

Mystique is easily remembered for her onscreen appearances wearing only the strategically-placed blue scales she was born with (requiring Rebecca Romijn to spend hours in the makeup room), but comic book portrayals have been slightly more favorable to cosplayers attending family-friendly venues. You could buy the blue jumpsuit and stop there, but I’ve included some additional garments which draw inspiration from my personal favorite Mystique look from the retro X-Men arcade game.

Susie Carmichael (voiced by Cree Summer) is a recurring character from the Nickelodeon shows Rugrats and All Grown Up!  Susie possesses a strong sense of self and what is right, which often puts her at odds with Angelica Pickles, though the two girls are usually friends.  To recreate Susie’s original outfit, painting the abstract flowers using purple fabric paint onto a yellow dress is the best way to achieve the iconic look, though you can also use a yellow dress with any floral pattern.  Susie wears a number of different outfits in the All Grown Up! series, but she often sports cropped shirts and wide leg jeans.

Athena Cykes works for famed Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright at the Wright Anything Agency. A childhood trauma led her to a career in law. With her sensitive hearing and training in Europe as an analytical psychologist, she’s especially skilled at picking up on witnesses’ vocal tells, which she uses to her advantage in the court room.

In Tangled, Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) is the rightful princess of the kingdom of Corona, but she is stolen by Mother Gothel as an infant because of her hair’s magical powers.  Locked away in a tower for most of her life, Rapunzel’s closest companion is a chameleon named Pascal.  Rapunzel is effervescent and excited by all that life has to offer, especially once she escapes from her imprisonment.  Rapunzel wears a pink and purple skirt with a corseted top, and of course has extremely long, flowing blonde hair throughout most of the film.  Her look can be recreated in a number of ways, by layering different pieces, or simply using a Renaissance corset dress, depending on how much time you wish to spend working on it.  You could take it to the next level by using a gold fabric paint to add filigree details to the skirt and corseted top.

In Eddsworld, Matt Hargreaves is recognized by his ginger hair and square chin. Matt is obsessed with his looks, and wears either a black or purple hoodie, a green overcoat, blue jeans, and black shoes. Sometimes he wears a black tee with “I ♥ M@” written on it. He is the animated counterpart to creator Edd Gould’s real-life friend.

Komari Koshigaya wants to be recognized as a mature person. She is a smart girl, but doesn’t like that some of the younger girls look older than her. However, Komari still takes care of the younger girls around her in their countryside. Komari spends time with her little sister Natsumi, and her friends, Hotaru and Renge, in Non Non Biyori Repeat.
