Carbon Costume

Doki Doki Literature Club is a freeware visual novel game.  While it initially appears to be a light-hearted dating simulator, things take a more sinister turn fairly quickly.  The four main characters of the game include Monika, Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki, all of whom vie for the attention of the male protagonist at different points of the game.  The girls all wear identical school uniforms that include a tan blazer, blue skirt, and orange vest.  You can choose which character to emulate depending on the socks and wig you pair with the rest of your costume.

Artist. Fighter. Mox. Judy Alvarez has made a niche for herself in Night City after moving up from Laguna Bend with her grandparents as a child. When they left she stayed. Now she is as much a part of the city as the rest of her gang. She’s one of the best braindance technicians around but getting her work for yourself isn’t exactly easy to do. Judy has her morals. And if you don’t stack up, she’s gone.

A personality as bold as Judy’s usually comes with a lot of flash but Judy likes to keep it simple. A white tank top tied up above her navel, black leather overalls, and black high tops. She also has a number of tattoos that you can replicate using a tattoo marker and temporary tattoos.

The hard part is copying Judy’s hair. You can choose a similar style that doesn’t require buzzing half your hair off, you can mimic her style directly, or you can use a wig. And when it comes to wigs you have two options. The first is a premade wig that uses fabric to indicate the shaved area. The second option is to buy a white wig, follow this tutorial for another wig alteration originally filmed for another cosplay, and then dye the wig using pink and green Rit dye which should lock the color into the wig’s synthetic fibers.

Some villagers like to work out. Others like to play music. Wendy likes four things: DIY, MagLev Mike, chasing her dreams of pop stardom, and – of course – her friends. She loves sharing good news with other people on the island and spends most of her time socializing with her neighbors. Her personality is as playful as her style and it shows!

Setting up a Wendy costume requires a little bit of DIY. You’ll have to paint the horns in stripes of marigold yellow spaced out with pale yellow. Then you’ll want to wrap the headband in blue ribbon so it blends in better with the blue wig that mimics the wool on top of Wendy’s head.

A watermelon-print blouse, a blue ruffle skirt, brown leggings, and brown ballet flats finish the look. You can accessorize with a hammer from your DIY bench or – if you’re feeling the urge to chance Wendy’s dreams – a microphone so you’re always ready for your big popstar-slash-fashion designer break!

Sporty and caring, Paula is a delight on every island. She’s the sisterly type, always willing to lend a hand and step up if someone’s bothering you. And you know she’ll be around. With her love of sports and the outdoors, she’s all over the island!

You could get Paula’s look by springing for a bear suit and then adding the clothes on top. But for the sake of comfort – and nailing Paula’s adorable style – this costume is a blend of human and bear.

The first thing you’ll need is a pair of bear ears. Clip those into a blonde wig and you’ve got a good start. Then take white fabric paint and copy the script on Paula’s shirt. When it’s dry layer it over a blue camisole and brown leggings. Add on some tan shoes and a brow band in white and black stripes and you’re ready to do laps across the beaches! Just don’t scare off all the fish.

Amy Rose (formerly known as Rosy the Rascal) is one of the sweetest hedgehog girls you’ll ever meet. Until you make her angry. Or get between her and Sonic. Nevermind that the blue blur doesn’t exactly feel the same way, of course. Rose isn’t about to let that stop her from helping him however she can!

There are a few ways to get Amy Rose’s bubblegum pink look. All three involve a wig and a combination of pink and coral face paint, of course. The looks differ, however, when it comes to your arms and legs.

You can use the same body paint from your face to paint your arms and legs. If that’s a bit much you can opt for pink tights and a pink shirt under your dress. The final option is to use a body suit under your dress instead of the shirt and tights to avoid anything riding up or falling down while you’re cosplaying.

Once you decide on your pink base, you’re in for a little more DIY. Finding red dresses with white trim is pretty hard unless you want a Mrs. Claus look.  So you’ll want to get a red dress, white ribbon, and some fabric glue. For Amy Rose’s boots you’ll want red rain boots than you then use paint to detail.

Finally put on some white gloves and chunky gold bracelets. Now ready to run after the speedster himself right alongside Amy Rose!

Colette (voiced by Katie Snyder) is a chromatic brawler in the Brawl Stars mobile video game. She is a pathologically obsessed fan, particularly of Spike and Piper, as hinted by her straitjacket. Collette works at the gift shop.  She can be unlocked as a Brawl Pass Reward in Tier 30.  Colette’s costume includes a light blue shirt and red vest, as well as a purple scrapbook that is also incorporated into some of her attacks.

Raymond is a character in the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He is a smug cat villager, whose name means “advice” or “council giver.” He gets along with most other villagers, but he comes across as snooty and egotistical. As indicated by his business attire, Raymond is rather strict, and prefers neatness and precision. These qualities are exemplified in Pocket Camp, where he later appears. In addition, he has the nature hobby.

When it comes to Hollywood – and video games – there are two types of hackers. Straight-laced and serious … and hackers like Wrench. Voiced by Shawn Baichoo, Wrench is the fixer for his team. Fixer, engineer, hacker. He’s there when his team needs him. Usually with a smartass comment locked and loaded. Anyone who knows him, though, knows not to let the humor fool them. He’s not afraid to go down swinging if that’s what it takes.

There are three key parts to any Wrench costume. One is a punk style, detailed. Two are his tattoos which you can draw on with a temporary tattoo marker. And three, most important of all, is his mask.

Wrench’s mask is supposed to convey his emotion thanks to LED lights in the eyes of his mask. There is a mask with LED eyes available on Etsy but it’s almost $200. A more affordable version is listed above. If you find that Wrench is a costume you pull out regularly you can upgrade to a more accurate mask.

With his mask and tattoos settled, the rest of Wrench’s costume comes together pretty easily. Black jeans and black boots take care of the bottom half. A black “I am DedSec” hoodie creates the foundation for the top half. A leather vest finishes off the clothes once you add Wrench’s signature silver studs. Round it off with a studded red leather cuff and some black jelly bracelets and you’re ready to channel Wrench in all his chaotic grey hat glory.
