Alma Madrigal is a character in Disney’s Encanto. Referred to as Abuela, she is the matriarch of the Madrigal family and head of the magical village. Her husband, Pedro, sacrificed himself to invaders so she could escape with their three newborn children, Pepa, Bruno, and Julieta. A miracle blessed them and her candle, vanquishing the opposing army and creating La Casa Madrigal. Her care for the community causes her to put too much pressure on her family’s gifts, and thus she can be controlling and harsh. When the casita begins to crumble, Mirabel helps her grandmother understand the real miracle lies within the Madrigal family bond.

We don’t talk about Bruno-no-no-no! Bruno Madrigal (John Leguizamo) is a character in Disney’s Encanto. He is the brother of Pepa and Julieta. He was shunned from the Madrigal family due to his mysterious prophecies that often ended in misfortune. Upon discovering a prophecy that involves her, Mirabel seeks out her uncle. She finds him behind the walls of the casita, living  amongst the rats. In getting to know Bruno, she realizes he’s misunderstood, as he never intended to harm the family. When he helps Mirabel restore the magic, the family accepts him.

Camilo Madrigal is a character in Disney’s Encanto. He is the son of Felix and Pepa, and the middle child between Dolores and Antonio, which makes him the cousin of Mirabel. Camilo possesses the gift of shapeshifting and he can take on the appearance of any family member. He likes using this gift to joke around and fool others.

Libby Folfax is a character in the Nickelodeon show, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. While she’s often the voice of reason in class, her singing voice is off-key. She is the best friend of Cindy Vortex, and often shares the same opinion. When Libby helps battle mummies in Egypt by posing as an ancient queen, who happened to be her identical ancestor, she keeps her hair in dreadlocks. She also gets an outfit change from a casual dress to a striped sweater and jeans.

Old Coot (voiced by Ryan Miller) is the main character in The Old Coot Show, a YouTube show that follows Old Coot and his son on a series of brief wacky adventures.  To recreate this simple look, you’ll want to flesh-colored zentai suit to evoke the eyeless design of the character, as well as a grey beard to wear over that.  You can forgo the cross and rope accessories that come with the brown monk’s robe, leaving you with just the hooded cloak necessary for the costume.

Makoto Kino (voiced by Emi Shinohara and Amanda Céline Miller) is a Sailor Guardian in the anime and manga series Sailor Moon.  Known as Sailor Jupiter when in her Sailor form, Makoto is an orphan, having lost her parents in a plane crash.  She is tomboyish and loves cooking.  Makoto has long brown hair that she wears in a ponytail.  Her school uniform consists of a khaki skirt and matching blouse.  Finding an exact match can be tough, but you can recreate the look with a similarly colored sailor sweatshirt (though you may want to pin the rabbit ears on the hood out of sight).  When fighting evil by moonlight with Sailor Moon and the rest of the Guardians, Sailor Jupiter’s costume is dark green with matching boots.  In both her civilian and Sailor forms, she wears pink rosebud earrings and a green hair tie in her hair.

Tom Ridgewell is a main character in the animation, Eddsworld. Cynical and pessimistic, Tom doesn’t really get along with others. He can be smart or clueless depending on the situation. He enjoys alcohol and playing bass guitar. You can achieve the unsettling “no eyes” look with a pair of sunglasses.

Edd Gould is a protagonist in the animation, Eddsworld. He is the avatar and animated counterpart of Edd Gould, who created the series and also voices the character. Sometimes Edd can be carefree, or adventurous, or even self-centered, given a situation. Although what remains consistent is his obsession with bacon and Coca-Cola.
