Whenever I think of Arthur, I can just imagine him calling for “Meeeerlin!” in a peeved, pompous voice. Bradley James brought a youthful incarnation of the once and future king of Camelot to life on British television screens (and various streaming services around the world), making him all the more relatable to young viewers. Arthur starts off as an arrogant, self-absorbed “prat,” according to his totally-not-magical manservant Merlin, but over the course of the series, he develops into a majestic ruler and responsible leader.

Amy March (played by Florence Pugh) is the youngest of the March sisters in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women.  Amy is often immature, but also a talented artist who eventually travels to France with her Aunt March to pursue an education in painting before unexpectedly marrying Jo’s longtime friend and once admirer Laurie.  After she travels to France, Amy adopts a more refined style including rich blue hues and intricate accessories such as fascinators and fur wraps.

Peter is the delivery boy of the village. His kindness is paired with his need to have a good laugh. The only other kid his age around, Mary, makes him laugh with her clumsiness. Together, the two end up on an unforgettable journey in Mary and the Witch’s Flower.

Andy Dwyer (played by Chris Pratt) is a lovable goofball on Parks and Recreation.  He is also the frontman of local band Mouserat and husband of April Ludgate.  Though he wears many unique outfits throughout the series, he has a yellow short sleeved button down that pops up multiple times.  When he and April roleplay as Janet Snakehole and Burt Macklin, Andy transforms into the renegade FBI agent by donning a blue jacket and brown aviators.

Minette works as a ward at Hesekiel and Erik’s shop. She helps the duo take care of Tea Dragons. She is shy, but becomes friends with the new apprentice, Greta. Minette warms up to Greta in the Tea Dragon Society.

Heather is a character from the hit Cartoon Network show, Total Drama Island. During its first arc, she was a camper as a member of the Screaming Gophers. She was the main antagonist, labeled as the villainous Queen Bee. Considering her master manipulation skills and drive to win, Heather intimidates nearly everyone on the island. She tries to form alliances only to betray them. Her main enemy is Gwen, the goth loner girl. As one of the most notable characters in the series, Heather frequently returned for its several spinoffs. Her big secret: her hair is actually a wig!

Clueless, coy, and unrequitedly obsessed with Dr. Daniel Jackson, Vala Mal-Doran (Claudia Black) is a newer addition to the cast of Stargate: SG-1. She was first introduced as a guest character during the episode “Prometheus Unbound,” where she and poor Daniel were confined on a spacecraft together. The team continues to encounter Vala throughout the coming months until it’s clear that they (the team and Vala, not Daniel — stop it, Vala) are quite inseparable and belong together forever. Prior to her appointment to SG-1, Vala made names for herself as both the host of the Goauld queen Qetesh, and a fair to middling con artist.

In early appearances, Vala sported a single streak of white in her hair. Eventually, this went away, but Vala continued to style her hair in pigtails or with childish hairclips — a reminder of Vala’s penchant for shiny things.

Eda Clawthorne (voiced primarily by Wendie Malick with Dee Bradley Baker voicing Eda’s cursed form) is the rather reckless and trouble-loving mentor in Disney’s The Owl House. She is a powerful witch who ends up teaching a young apprentice almost entirely through accident.

Eda is largely seen in two costumes. And, thanks to her rather voluminous hair, both take a little DIY work. Her main costume is a red halter dress with a ragged edge that cosplayers will have to add in themselves. She also wears tall red boots with this dress and often carries her owl staff. Otherwise Eda is seen in an oversized red sweater, long purple skirt, and bunny slippers when she is lounging in her home.

In Tuca & Bertie, Tuca (voiced by Tiffany Haddish) is a 30-something cocky, care-free toucan who is friends with Bertie, an anxious songbird. Tuca is newly sober and impulsive, working odd jobs to make ends meet and depending on her wealthy Aunt Tallulah for financial support.

Greta found a lost tea dragon, and discovered that there is a whole world of tea dragons. She becomes an apprentice for the lost art of tea dragon care-taking under the guidance of Hesekiel and Erik. Greta befriends their ward, Minette, and learns more about tea dragons in the Tea Dragon Society.
