Sam Manson (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is the best friend and eventual girlfriend of Danny Fenton on the Nickelodeon animated show Danny Phantom.  Sam is a self-proclaimed goth and ultra-recyclo-vegetarian obsessed with the macabre.  As such, her usual attire is very edgy.  When she attends a school dance, however, she manages to look the part without giving up her signature goth look.  To recreate her dance outfit, you’ll need to get a little creative with layering different pieces.  Start with a tube top in a purple hue and then add a fishnet long-sleeved shirt over it before putting on your black corset. You may have to be willing to sacrifice parts of the mesh in order to cut the fishnet shirt to fit under your corset so it doesn’t stick out.  You’ll finish the look with a purple skirt, which you can add glitter to if you’d like, a black wig, and purple makeup.

Miriam Mendelsohn (voiced by Ava Morse) is one of Mei Lee’s best friends in the film Turning Red.  Miriam is a caring and loyal friend with a laidback attitude.  Along with Abby Park and Priya Mangal, Miriam helps Mei navigate her newly upturned life after she begins transforming into a red panda.  Miriam is a bit of a tomboy and wears clothes that would make any skater feel comfortable. She dons shades of green in nearly every aspect of her clothing, from her beanie to her flannel and accessories.

Huang Lee is the main protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.  The spoiled son of a Triad leader, Huang finds himself embroiled in a mystery as he tries to recover a stolen family heirloom and unearth the person responsible for his father’s murder.  Huang has short-cropped hair and some scattered facial hair including a soul patch, which you can mimic with a little eyebrow pencil if you aren’t interested in growing your own.  He wears blue jeans, green sneakers, and a white t-shirt.  Though the red button-down he wears unbuttoned is sometimes mistaken for the lining of his jacket, it’s actually a separate piece.
