Arwen is a minor character in The Lord of the Rings. Her full name is referred to as Arwen Undomiel or Arwen Evenstar. She is the daughter of the Elrond, the half-elf Lord of Rivendell, and an Celebrian, an elven noblewoman. Tolkien describes her as one of the most beautiful elves, resembling her ancestor Luthien. Like her ancestor, she falls in love with a man. Like Luthien loved Beren, Arwen loved Aragorn. When he is crowned King of Gondor, they marry, and she becomes queen. She decides to stay mortal so she can die with Aragorn. While she never appears in the books, Arwen appears in all three film adaptations. She carries Frodo across the Ford of Bruinen and fights the Orcs with her sword, Hadhafang. The role is played by actress Liv Tyler.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizon, Harvey is the kind old hippie that lives on a nearby island. He runs a photo studio that is open for anyone to use and loves to have people come visit him to do their own shoots.

To cosplay as Harvey you’ll want to practice a laid back and slightly hazy way of doing things. That’s the real key to being Harvey. For his costume, though, you’ll want a a long wig and a mustache. The hair simulates Harvey’s ears, though can choose to add some costume dog ears as well if you want. A brown vest with fringe, a tunic top, bell bottoms, and moccasins finish out his look. And while these accessories aren’t necessary, a camera will really round out the look.

Sam Fisher (voiced by Michael Ironside) is the protagonist of the Splinter Cell video game series based on the writings of Tom Clancy.  During the events of Conviction, the second installment in the series, Fisher has quit from the Third Echelon and begins his portion of the game on a search for his recently deceased daughter.

At special request from our readers, we’ve sourced a very similar “commando style” pullover sweater to what Sam Fisher wears in Conviction.

Gwen (voiced by Megan Fahlenbock) is one of the original contestants on Cartoon Network’s “reality show” Total Drama Island. She is, at first glance, the stereotype of an emo girl. But as the series progresses she sheds the stereotype and is show to be a much more fleshed-out character.

Gwen’s signature is her emo look. So dark hair with teal streaks and dark clothes are a must. She is usually shown wearing a black corset, black mini skirt with teal paneling to match her hair, black leggings, and tall black boots. She also wears a short-sleeve blue bolero shrug over longer green sleeves.

Finding a shrug like hers – or a skirt – is a little tricky. So green compression sleeves and a blue shrug can replicate her top while you might have to find fabric that matches your wig and add some fake panels onto your miniskirt to complete this look.
