Nina the Killer is the titular serial killer character at the heart of a CreepyPasta story.  Originally a fan of Jeff the Killer, Nina Hopkins turns down her own twisted path after a bad day at school.  Nina is a high school girl with long dark hair that she wears in a ponytail with a red bow and a single streak of purple.  Her outfit includes a hoodie, a black pleated skirt, and black and red striped thigh-high socks.  Perhaps the most striking aspect of Nina’s appearance is her Chelsea Smile, which you can achieve with a little liquid latex, fake blood, and some patience.

Kyo (voiced in Japanese by Yuma Uchida and in English by Jerry Jewell) is one of the primary main characters in the anime/manga Fruits Basket.

He is the cat out of the Sohma’s cursed zodiac line, and lives with Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru. He tends to be argumentative and prone to fighting, but is kinder once he warms up to Tohru. In addition to being the cat, he also has a larger cursed ‘true form’ that he hides from everyone.

Kyo has short, semi-spiky orange hair, and orangey-brown eyes. Like the rest of the characters, he has a large variety of outfits, but for this, I went with his school uniform. It consists of a dark blue shirt with matching slacks, and he wears a yellow shirt underneath. The personal touches he includes are a pair of orange high-tops, and a white/red bracelet that he uses to contain his true form.

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.
