Gloria Sato (voiced by Anna Akana) works at a cafe next to the Green Family’s house in the Disney Channel series Big City Greens.  Eventually, she and Cricket become co-workers and Gloria opens her own cafe.  Gloria has pale purple skin and blue hair.  During her time as a barista at Big Coffee, she is often shown wearing her work uniform which consists of a brown hat and apron over her usual clothes; purple pants and a pink t-shirt.  You can iron a coffee cup patch onto your apron to get a closer match to her apron from the show.  Once she opens Gloria + Green, her uniform changes to a green apron, which she wears folded so it doesn’t cover her orange shirt.  She pairs the look with brown pants.  While purple body paint isn’t necessary to pull off Gloria’s look, you can certainly add it if you feel like going the extra mile.

Ainosuke Shindo (Adam) from Sk8 the Infinity

Adam (voiced in Japanese by Takehito Koyasu and in English by David Wald) is one of the main characters and technically the main antagonist in the Sk8 the Infinity anime.

He is one of the three founders of “S”, along with Kaoru and Kojiro, when they were teenagers. He uses “S” as an escape from the political future that his aunts are trying to push him into, with Tadashi (his friend from childhood that taught him how to skate originally) as the only one in his household’s circle that knows his secret.

Despite having a heavily professional look while in the presence of his aunts, while at “S” he becomes a completely different persona, becoming ‘Adam’ over ‘Ainosuke’. His usually carefully brushed blue hair becomes spiked and wild, and his red eyes are hidden behind an ornate mask, obscuring his identity. He has a couple rather elaborate outfits while skating, though this is his main one. It’s styled off of a matador look, bright red with large amounts of detailing, with the whole thing being very skin tight. His elbow, shoulder, and knee guards are pointed, and he wears tall black boots with red soles and a matching red heart adorning the top.
