Cartoons
Neopolitan from RWBY
Named for Neapolitan ice cream, this pink, brown, and white criminal is a mistress of illusion and a skilled martial arts fighter. Her parasol (dubbed Hush as a nod to her apparent mutism) conceals a pointed blade, which she uses to surprise-attack her underestimating opponents. Neo is a known associate of Roman Torchwick; after his untimely departure from the RWBY webseries, Neo wears his signature feathered hat (which you can recreate using this easy tutorial) in her quest for vengeance.
Dorie from Magical DoReMi
Dorie Goodwyn (Doremi Harukaze) is an energetic magic enthusiast. She also thinks she is the unlikeliest girl in the world. Dorie is not the best student, but it’s a different story when it comes to magic. Dorie, along with her friends Reanne and Mirabelle, are practicing to become the greatest witches ever in Magical DoReMi (Ojamajo Doremi).
Chloe Park from We Bare Bears
Chloe Park (voiced by Charlyne Yi) is a young girl attending college in the Cartoon Network show We Bare Bears. She went straight from the end of elementary school to university and is known as a child prodigy. After stumbling into the bears’ cave in search of information for a school project, she becomes a good friend of the three bears. Her clothes are very simple, given her age and her busy schedule. Her red slip on shoes match her glasses while she wears her brown pants cuffed and stays warm with a dark grey hoodie. Though she usually doesn’t take the hoodie off, she wears a purple shirt underneath and will sometimes carry a yellow backpack as well.
Kagome Higurashi from InuYasha
Kagome Higurashi voiced in the original Japanese anime by Satsuki Yukino and then later in the English dub by both Moneca Stori and Kira Tozer is the child of a family of shrine-keepers. She is a Third-year middle school student in Tokyo Japan. She lives a pretty regular life until finding out she is the reincarnation of a priestess named Kikyō who had died generations ago and now with Inu Yasha she must recover shards of the Shikon Jewel. This costume is relatively easy to manage. As the uniform is all one piece i would recommend ironing it under a low heat the day you plan on wearing it.
Bucky Barnes in Captain America: Civil War
In Captain America: Civil War, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) was abducted and brainwashed by Hydra. For the last 70 years, he has been their mindless killing machine as the Winter Soldier, but now he’s free and finding himself again. While on the run, he stops in Romania and tries to make a normal life for himself. This includes wearing gloves to hide his prosthetic left hand and shopping for plums at the local farmer’s market. He wears layers in case he has to take off again, though the red Henley in this costume is his most iconic look from the movie. Grab your own bag of plums and stock your backpack with notebooks and candy bars for even more in-character costume details!
Kipo from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
Kipo Oak (voiced by Karen Fukuhara) is a lively, confident girl. She believes humans and mutes can co-exist, and is friendly to those around her. Kipo has a knack for sciences, especially astronomy, thanks to her father. She was separated from him during an unfortunate attack. As Kipo is on her journey, she is learning more about who she is meant to be in Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.
Willa from Willa’s Wild Life
Willa’s Wild Life is a French-Canadian that follows the exploits of Willa (voiced by Jordan Todosey), a little girl with a sweet nature and a love of exotic animals. Her parents might not like that she has such a wild menagerie but that’s okay with Willa. She loves her animals and the adventures they get into together.
Cosplaying as Willa is as easy as a green shirt, green socks, green headband, and a red jumper dress. Add in some black Mary Jane flats and you’re good to go! You can take the cosplay even further by adding in a stuffed camel or crocodile so you’ve got your own wild wonderful friend to have on your adventure.
Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z
The Dragon Ball franchise is epic and sprawling. Timelines criss cross and interweave among different movies and shows and written formats. And from that tightly woven web comes Future Trunks. With an entirely different life and experience set from the original Trunks, he is a unique character with a wildly different approach to things that his counterpart.
Most of Future Trunks’ costume is very straight forward. Loose black pants tucked into yellow boots and held up with a blue belt. A black tank top beneath a padded blue vest. And lilac hair that you may have to style a little to get just right. But there are a few elements, such as the yellow bunching on his belt or the silver toe tips on his shoes, that you might have to DIY. they’re small touches that can really make your cosplay pop, but the costume looks great without them too!
Musa from Run with the Wind
Musa Kamara is a second year Engineering student at Kansei University. He is an international student being sponsored from Tanzania. Musa joins the track team created by Haiji, and trains along side the rest of the team on their journey. His kind personality is a soft spot in the team. However, Musa’s gentle nature doesn’t stop him from being an ace athlete in Run with the Wind (Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru).
Rei Hino from Sailor Moon
Rei Hino also known as Sailor Mars is voiced most frequently in the original Japanese anime by Michie Tomizawa, and in the English dub by Cristina Valenzuela. Rei is constantly having petty fights with Usagi. She is hot-headed but thoughtful in her choices. Not to mention she has great fashion taste! For make up I suggest doing a very basic winged liner. rub a bit of highlighter jelly together on your fingers and dab it across your cheekbones for a sparkly blush look.
