Nezumi from No.6
Nezumi is one of two main characters in the manga, anime, and light novel series, No.6, and is voiced in Japanese by Yoshimasa Hosoya, and in English by Kalob Martinez.
When we first see Nezumi, he’s 12 year old and very badly injured, and ends up breaking into Shion‘s house, where the latter offers to treat his wound, despite having just been threatened by him.
A few years later, he helps Shion escape from No.6 when he’s being brought to a correctional facility and brings him to his home in West Block, showing him the world outside of No.6, sharing classical literature and theater with him, and eventually developing feelings for him.
Nezumi has blue-toned black hair tied up in a ponytail, grey eyes, and he wears a light yellow long sleeve shirt, a black motorcycle jacket over top, beige cargo pants with a ripped leg, blackish brown combat boots, and a large cloak that he wears as a scarf.

Clover wears a variety of fashionable outfits throughout the series, but her spy uniform consists of a red catsuit with matching gloves and boots, as well as a silver belt. To add some of the more high-tech-looking details to her suit, you can use some grey foam pads and adhere them to the catsuit with the included hook and loop velcro attachments or fabric glue, if you prefer.
Pizzazz from Jem and the Holograms
In Jem and the Holograms, Pizzazz (real name Phyllis Margaret Gabor, which she can’t stand) is the main vocalist and guitarist of the rock band The Misfits.

Shion from No.6
Shion is one of two main characters in the manga, anime, and light novel series, No.6, and is voiced in Japanese by Yūki Kaji, and in English by Greg Ayres.
He grew up living in the idyllic society of No.6 as a genius level student until he was 12, when he helped a boy his age named Nezumi, who was a fugitive, to escape, which lead to him and his mother having to move to a lesser part of the city.
A few years later, Shion was arrested for suspected crimes against the city and was in the process of being taken to a correctional facility, until Nezumi shows up once more and rescues him, leading him out of the city entirely.
Shion has short, fluffy white hair, red eyes, and a pink scar wrapping around his body, while his primary outfit is a white button up shirt, a light blue cardigan, brown pants, and blackish brown loafers.

She has two primary looks throughout the series. The first consists of a two-layered dress, which you can recreate by wearing a duster over a maxi dress, secured with a lightweight pin that has a gemstone motif. Her second look is more battle-ready, with trousers and boots, and armor with red highlights. No matter which version you choose, you’ll need a wig and face gems to adhere to your forehead. If you want to take it one step further, you can use golden yellow body paint.

To recreate her suit, don’t be afraid to get creative by adding some foam details to emulate the more high-tech aspects.
