Ranni the Snow Witch from Elden Ring
Ranni, also known as the Snow Witch (voiced by Aimee-Ffion Edwards) is a character in the Elden Ring video game. Ranni provides the Tarnished with the Spirit Calling Bell after receiving the Torrent from Melina. Ranni’s costume includes an oversized hat that can be difficult to pin down unless you purchase a pre-made cosplay set. If you’re looking to build your own costume, you may need to scale down the hat size or scour handmade shops on Etsy. Either way, adorning the brim with an adjustable silver headpiece can help it look more like Ranni’s from the game. Whether you decide to make your own costume with different pieces such as a medieval-inspired dress and faux-fur trimmed cloak or purchase a full set pre-made, you can always take your outfit to the next level by adding pale blue body paint and a matching wig. Likewise, if you’d like to create extra arms–Ranni has four–you can follow a tutorial like this one if you’re feeling a bit crafty.
