Princess Pride from Mega Man Battle Network
Although she takes a brief turn as a villain, Princess Pride is a passionate and kind ruler over Creamland. Voiced by Jillian Michaels in the anime, she is better suited to the role of hero and she wears the mantle well.
Princess Pride has two main costume. One is the white dress and crown from the game Mega Man Battle Network 2 and the other is the brown and cream coordinated outfit from both MMBN 5 and the anime.
For the white dress you’ll want something long with short puffed sleeves and a mermaid cut. That is a very specific cut, however, so any white mermaid cut dress and a white shrug can sub in. You’ll also need long white gloves, white tights, and white heels as well as a blonde wig and a silver crown. Jewel on her gown is best recreated with a cosmetic button and some fabric glue though you can use a pin brooch as well if you want to reuse the dress for other cosplays.
For the brown and cream look you can use the same blonde wig while swapping your crown for a brown newsboy cap. A white shirt, brown vest, white thigh highs, and dark brown boots round out most of the clothes while short white gloves act as the only accessories and body tape helps keep the socks in place. The tricky part is her shorts. They are an uncommon style but you can recreate something close to it by blousing the legs of the pants pictured above.
Penelope McQueen from Rock Band 2
Penelope McQueen is a character from the Rock Band video game series. She appears as a playable session musician in both Lego Rock Band and Rock Band 2. In the second installment of the series, Penelope wears a dark newsboy cap, black puffy-sleeved blouse, oversized tie, and thigh high boots. To truly achieve her rocker style, don’t be shy with the dark lipstick and heavy eye shadow.
Zarina Kassir from Dead by Daylight

Cybil Bennett from Silent Hill

Jill Valentine from Resident Evil 3 Remake
In the 2020 remake for Resident Evil 3, Jill Valentine was redesigned from the 1996 design. The game designers explain that with the graphical limitations of the original, they had to design her to visually stand out — and that meant a tube top and mini skirt. With the improved photorealistic graphics of the remake, Jill got a makeover, fitting into the world better with more practical tactical while keeping her iconic style.
Jeff Johansen from Dead by Daylight
Jeff Johansen is a metalhead and artist who got his start designing a mural for the Legion in Dead by Daylight. Jeff’s intimidating look is capped off with a scar over his left eye which he sustained during a fight at a music show. Despite his stature, Jeff’s personality is far more caring and helps him and his fellow survivors stay alive. While Jeff’s specific shirt is available for purchase, you could use any shirt depicting a heavy metal group, especially if you are a fan of a specific band.
Osana Najimi from Yandere Simulator
Osana Najimi (voiced by Brittany Lauda) is the first rival the player meets when they start the game Yandere Simulator. She serves as the game’s tutorial and a prickly one at that. Not that you’d know by looking at her style, however. She has a sweet sense of fashion that makes for an excellent cosplay.
Since the game takes place at school, most of Osana’s outfit is a standard school uniform. A white blouse with a blue sailor collar and red necktie, a blue pleated skirt, and black slip on shoes. Her personal style comes in with her long red hair pulled back in pigtails by red scrunches and decorated with a red ribbon bow, and with her pink polka dot socks.
Jake Park from Dead by Daylight
After being disowned by his rich family, Jake Park became a quiet survivalist, choosing to leave his life of privilege behind in favor of living off the grid. As one of the original quartet of survivors in Dead by Daylight, he now uses his iron will, calm spirit, and knowledge of mechanics to survive against killers in the realms of the Entity.
