Carbon Costume

Zarya Moonwolf (voiced by Nicki Burke) can be as tough as they come. But when it comes to her friends, she is nothing by loyalty and love. Which is why it’s a good idea not to cross them. Or her. You might end up on the wrong end of a Mysticon Ranger’s bow!

Cosplaying Zarya takes a little bit of patience and a fairly steady painting hand. Her blue hair can be copied with a wig while boot toppers and gauntlet gloves come close to her look. To get her top, however, you’ll need a light blue shirt as well as dark blue, white, and gold fabric paint. The paint serves to add in the various designs of her shirt as well as the main portion of her belt. The same paint decorates dark blue leggings to resemble her pants and the cuffs of the gauntlet gloves.

Link’s bow is a close second to Zarya’s in general shape and some paint adds in the proper details. Spray paint it dark blue, then go back in with light blue acrylic paint and highlight the details. A light blue cape finishes the look once its edges are properly tattered.

Hunter (voiced by Zeno Robinson) is an antagonist on the animated series The Owl House.  Also known as the Golden Guard, Hunter is the nephew of Emperor Belos.  Hunter’s uniform consists of an ivory hooded cloak and golden tunic, brown boots and gloves.  He also wears a golden mask that can be difficult to recreate, though replicas are available for purchase.  If you’d rather go maskless, be sure to use some scar wax to recreate Hunter’s distinctive facial scar.  Otherwise, a generic golden mask can evoke a similar look, even if it’s not an exact match.

Cinderella is a classic princess from the animated film in 1950. Based on the fairytale of the same name, she works as a maid for her wicked stepfamily. They forbid her to attend Prince Charming’s ball, but the Fairy Godmother arrives to cast a spell to make her wish come true. Now with a carriage, horses, and dress, Cinderella can enjoy the ball, but she must return before midnight. She dances with the prince and falls in love. She loses her glass slipper, which is how he finds her. The shoe fits, and together they live happily ever after.

Kento Nanami (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda and David Vincent) is a grade 1 sorcerer and a mentor to Yuji Itadori in the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.  Kento originally left Jujutsu High upon graduation to become a businessman.  Four years later, he returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High to continue his work as a sorcerer.  Kento wears a tan business suit with a blue shirt and tie.  His signature green-lensed glasses are without arms in his original design, but a standard pair of round-lensed glasses in the right color will still achieve a similar enough effect and be much easier to wear.

Trina is a character in Big Hero 6: The Series, the animated television spinoff of the Pixar movie. On the outside, she appears to be a normal teenage girl who befriends Hiro Hamada. However, she’s really an android controlled by the malevolent Okabe, gathering intel on Hiro to orchestrate the perfect crime. She is voiced by Christy Carlson-Romano, who also starred in Even Stevens.

Momo Yaoyorozu is a character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. She got into Class 1-A at U.A. High School through official recommendations. Her enthusiastic dedication to becoming a Pro-Hero makes her a natural leader. Although she acts kind and polite, Momo can be brutally honest, but only to help her classmates improve. Her Quirk is Creation, which gives her the ability to create any object from her fat cells by knowing its molecular structure.

Nobara Kugisaki (voiced by Asami Seto and Anne Yatco) is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro in the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.  Under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, Nobara is determined to stay true to herself and become a fearsome sorcerer.  Nobara has short ginger hair cut in a long bob and wears a navy blue school uniform paired with dark tights and loafers.  Nobara’s primary weaponry consists of a hammer with a heart on it and nails she imbues with cursed energy.  She sometimes requires the use of a straw doll to perform exorcisms.

Minoru Mineta is a character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. He attends UA High School as a student of Class 1-A in training to become a Pro-Hero. While timid, Minoru is known as the class creep, often ogling the girls. He freaks out in moments of stress and fear, though he is also surprisingly intelligent. This DIY costume lends itself to some craftiness. For the bottoms, stick the dots around the waistband of the shorts, and then hot glue a piece of ribbon underneath. You may find you’ll need hot glue for the dots as well. Use hot glue to affix three balls down the top of the balaclava, and use the rest as props.
