In The Promised Neverland, Emma is a smart, cheerful, friendly 11 year old living at the Grace Field House orphanage. Life there is idyllic, with good food, comfortable beds, and plenty of games. When they find out that their purpose is to be raised as meat for demons, it’s Emma who leads the other orphans to escape for freedom.

El Tigre (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the super alter ego of Manny Rivera on the Nickelodeon animated series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.  Manny’s transformation into El Tigre includes some pretty stark changes, including the addition of a tiger tail, ears, and sharpened claws.  To dress as El Tigre, you can layer boots, a belt, and a red bandana over a black bodysuit.  For some extra authenticity, you can also use scar wax to add the scar Manny has over his left eye.

The Empress of Light is a Hardmode boss from the Terraria video game.  She is encountered in the Hallow.  The Empress of Light has a beautiful, prismatic appearance, despite her vicious attack style.  To recreate her look, use golden yellow body paint on your face and neck to match the color of your bodysuit.  Then, you’ll pair it with a blue monokini or cut-out leotard, gloves, boots, and ruffles worn around your upper arms, as well as a pink wig and matching pink open-front skirt.  Finally, you’ll need a pair of elf ears (which you can make appear more yellow with the same body paint used on your face), a blue unicorn horn, and gold crown.  Finally, don’t forget your impressive multicolored wings.

Zack (voiced by Michael Hawley) is part of Carmen’s main team in the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego.

He’s part of the team with his sister Ivy, and tends to be a bit less attentive when it comes to missions as he’s a bit distracted, but when it really comes to it he tries his best to actually contribute. Zack is very good at bluffing his way out of bad situations, which he tends to end up in very often, usually of his own making.

Like Ivy, he has reddish orange hair and greenish-blue eyes, with prominent freckles on his face. He wears a long sleeve shirt with a red and white jersey-type t-shirt over top, casual blue jeans, black socks, and black high-top converse shoes.

Hacker, or The Hacker, (voiced in Japanese by Shun Horie and in English by Y. Chang) is part of the main cast of the anime Akudama Drive, and one of the group of criminals or ‘Akudama’ that are key to the story.

None of the characters have much of an explained backstory, or a known name, so he simply just goes by Hacker. He’s true to his name in that aspect, as he takes great joy in interesting technological struggles that he’s able to force past, and gets bored easily when he can’t find something that interests him.

He has very messy blondish brown hair and one visible blue eye, while the other is covered by a glowing eyepatch. The outfit he wears is almost entirely body covering, with a long greyish white turtleneck shirt and a tailcoated blue jacket that he wears nearly open over it. His hair is partially covered by a hat that glows like his eyepatch and is the same color as his coat. Hacker also has a pair of black pants with a blue end piece covering them, and odd looking almost spat-like blue and black boots.

Wrath (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is a variation of the character that is exclusive to the 2003 adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist, and is not found in the manga or in Brotherhood.

He is a being that came to be after Izumi Curtis tried to use alchemy to revive her baby, much in the same way the Elric brothers did, and it went just about as well. As a part of the group of Homunculi, he’s well suited to his name, becoming more and more like the title after consuming the stones.

Wrath has long, shaggy, blackish-brown hair and slitted violet eyes. He wears a similar outfit to Envy’s in style, once fully becoming a homunculus. It’s formed of a black crop turtleneck with a short, partial sleeve crop top over it, small matching shorts, and one foot cover/wrist cover respectively. There are red circular markings that start at mid-thigh and continue up past the bottom of the shirt, much like the ones the others have.

Ivy (voiced by Abby Trott) is part of Carmen’s main team (be it thieves or in league with A.C.M.E) in the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego.

She and her brother Zack work in a team to aid Carmen in her retrieval and recovery thieving, doing everything from being a getaway driver to disguising herself as Carmen when necessary for the other to make a quick escape.

Ivy has short wavy reddish orange hair, very light greenish-blue eyes, and prominent freckles. She wears a very easy to move around in outfit due to the nature of her job. It consists of a pair of greyish white capris, a black t-shirt with blue sleeves, and red high-top converse shoes.

Ephemer/a (voiced in Japanese by Yūto Uemura and in English by Michael Johnston) is one of the characters that we first meet in Kingdom Hearts χ/Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ.

Like everything in Kingdom Hearts, there are many varied layers to his character and the story surrounding him, but we mostly see him in context with the Foretellers and Dandelions, such as the Player character, and Ventus.

Ephemer has short grey hair with a light curl to it (the wig I linked is actually the one I personally used for my cosplay for him!), and bluey-teal eyes. Like his backstory, his outfit is also layered.

He wears a simple short-sleeved button up white shirt with a short-sleeved black bolero jacket over top, finished off with a tasseled and detailed red scarf. Around his waist he wears a tan colored belted satchel, brown baggy cargo pants, and rounds it all off with flared wrist black gloves and matching high black boots.

Palutena (voiced by Ali Hillis in the English version of Kid Icarus) is the goddess worshipped by Pit.  Also a playable character in Super Smash Bros., Palutena is the Goddess of Light and the true ruler of Angel Land.  She supports Pit on his quest.  Palutena has long green hair and is depicted in her most recent form wearing a flowing, strapless white dress.  In order to achieve a similar look, you can wear a white dress as your base (you may even want to take a pair of scissors to add the leg slit on the left side) and wrap a red and cream patterned shawl around your hip, fastened with a red brooch.  You’ll also want to pay careful attention to your gold accessories, including a crown worn over your green wig, plenty of gold cuffs on your arms, and a brown double-wrapped belt.  Lastly, a white sock on your left leg and a pair of tall gladiator sandals can complete your look.
