Carbon Costume

Gosalyn Mallard (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) is the rough-and-tumble adopted daughter of Drake Mallard (AKA Darkwing Duck). She is wily and clever with a good heart but a short temper. Like her father she’s the kind of person to rush into trouble for the good of others. And that readiness to dive head-first into the fray shows in her costume.

Dressing as Gosalyn is both simple and comfortable. A red wig with pigtails takes care of her hair while a puple t-shirt and some fabric paint creates her signature top. You can also add the “1” with a vinyl decal but white paint might be easier. Layer the t-shirt over a long-sleeve pink shirt, then roll up the undershirt’s sleeves and you’ve got the majority of Gosalyn’s look.

Yellow skinny jeans, thick cuffed white socks, and purple high tops round out the rest of the look. Now you’re ready to five into action alongside Darkwing Duck!

Trish Walker (played by Rachael Taylor) is a secondary protagonist in the television show Jessica Jones. She is driven and ambitious woman whose distaste for injustice has led her into dangerous situations over and over again. Her need to see justice served nearly pushes her into the antagonist role more than a few times and causes a lot of tension with Jessica and the other people in Trish’s life. But that’s a fine line to walk when Jessica is just as reckless and Marvel’s New York is a very dangerous place!

The key to cosplaying as Trish is to tap into her style. She favors blazers and silk blouses. She pairs these with leather pants and stilettos. She wears her long blonde hair either down or in a ponytail. And no matter what she wears she carries herself with an attitude just as fierce as her best friend’s.

When Tanjiro comes to Tamayo for help, Yushiro eventually takes back his mean comments, given Tamayo exhibits kindness and hospitality towards them.

Despite being fourteen years old, he sees how the members of the Greasers function. He also learns that their rival gang, the Socs, have problems just like they do. Ponyboy is the closest to Johnny Cade in age and in mentality, as they both are more compassionate and willing to help others. The two run away together, and Ponyboy bleaches his hair so no one recognizes him. Together they save children from a burning church, which resulted in Johnny’s death. As he died, he told Ponyboy to “stay gold.” Here are three looks from the movie adaptation, where Tom Howell portrays this character. From the lines near his shoulders, it looks like he cut the sleeves off a navy blue sweater. You can also use the scissors to rip up the jeans a bit. The other two outfits are more simple, consisting of different plaid shirts. Although for his end-credits look, you will need blonde hair.
