My Melody

My Melody is a Sanrio character. She is a white rabbit who is best friends with Hello Kitty, and the sweeter counterpart to Kuromi. She also enjoys baking. In sharp contrast to Kuromi’s black and purple palette, her colors are light pink and white. Opt for a soft look with ruffles and flowers. The headband elevates the look into cosplay.

Goofy

Gawrsh! Goofy is an animated Disney character and one of the Sensational Six. Childish yet good-natured, he is Mickey’s good friend (not to be confused with Mickey’s pet dog, Pluto). As his name describes, he loves to make jokes and gags, though his clumsiness lands him into the occasional trouble. In A Goofy Movie, we find out he has a son named Max, where he’s a still silly but well-meaning parent. His signature guffaw sounds like “a-hyuck!” You can use black face paint for your nose, and you can wear a pair of light blue jeans if you’re not feeling the chinos.

presephone from hadestown

Persephone from Hadestown

Persephone (originated on Broadway by Amber Grey) is the wife of Hades in the musical Hadestown.  Persephone is meant to spend half the year in the human realm, and half in the underworld with her husband.  During the musical, this balance is thrown off and Persephone spends less and less time above ground with Hermes, Orpheus, and Eurydice, which results in harsher and harsher weather.  Persephone’s costume is meant to evoke the hopeful green of springtime.  It’s difficult to find an exact replica of her bright green dress, so don’t be afraid to play with layers and textures to build your silhouette.  Try layering a lace long top beneath a buff sleeve blouse and then pairing them with a green asymmetrical skirt.  You’ll need a flower crown for your hair, black tights and booties, and a floral detailed tote bag.  Finish the look with a luxuious faux fur coat.

Rachel “Ray” Gardner from Angels of Death

Rachel (voiced in Japanese by Haruka Chisuga and in English by Meg McClain) is the main character in the Angels of Death franchise.

She is an amnesiac teenage girl that wakes up in an unfamiliar place, and then gets thrown unwittingly into a death game as the sacrifice for all the floor masters. She ends up getting chased around by Zack, a serial killer, who violates the rules of the floor and gets wrapped up into the same predicament as her. They form a truce of sorts, where he agrees to kill her when they get out, as long as she helps him escape.

Rachel has long blonde hair and her eyes are a dull blue (though this changes slightly throughout the series). She wears a black and white striped baggy shirt, with an oversized white cardigan over it, and short black shorts. Her outfit is finished off with a solid black choker necklace, a black shoulder bag, and black ankle boots with side buckles.

Ichiko Ohya from Persona 5/Royal

Ohya (voiced in Japanese by Yumi Uchiyama and in English by Amanada Winn-Lee) is a secondary character in the Persona 5 series.

She is a paparazza and is determined to be the first one on the scene when it comes to finding out information about the Phantom Thieves. You end up making a deal with her, and she becomes a part of your Confidants roster, with her assigned arcana card being that of ‘The Devil’.

Ohya has a short black bob cut, and light brown eyes. She wears red lipstick, and a pair of orange tinted sunglasses on top of her head, in addition to her camera around her neck. Her main outfit consists of a white long sleeved undershirt with a black t-shirt with the worlds ‘low life fight the power’ on it in bright pinks and blues, light blue jeans, and black converse-type shoes. She finishes this off with a light pink fannypack worn backwards around her waist through her belt loops, and a water bottle attached to a carrying harness.

Lewis

Lewis is a Target Halloween decoration turned TikTok sensation. He is an 8 foot tall, light-up pumpkin ghoul dressed in a tattered hooded robe. He  lets out eerie sounds – but also friendly greetings, in which he introduces himself as Lewis. Just don’t call him a jack-o-lantern! Target happens to carry a pumpkin mask that works perfect with this costume idea.

Touta Matsuda from Death Note

Matsuda (voiced in Japanese by Ryo Naitou and in English by Vincent Tong) is an important supporting character in the anime/manga series Death Note.

He is part of the police task force that L assembles to catch Kira, but is also a bit reckless, which gets him into a fair amount of sticky situations, much to the annoyance of the rest of his team.

Matsuda has just past chin length fluffy black hair, and light hazel eyes. He is usually seen wearings a slate-blue two piece suit while on the job, and a white button-down shirt, tied with a dark red tie. This is all finished off with a pair of black loafers.

Kid Chrollo Lucilfer (Manga) from Hunter x Hunter

This article will be covering how Chrollo looks in the manga as a child, if you would like to see the other articles I’ve written about his other appearances throughout the series, you can find them all here:
York New Disguise | Usual Outfit | Teenager (Please note that no voice actor will be listed for this, as this part of the manga has not been animated as of yet, and we don’t know how he’ll sound).

As a 9 year old, he has a much softer and kinder appearance than he does as an adult, and is predominantly seen wearing all white (presumably, as there are no color pages for this chapter), in contrast to his darker toned outfits later in the series. His hair is very fluffy, and worn just a few inches above his shoulders. While he does have a few slightly varied outfits, this one for this portion of the chapter is a zipped up, round collared t-shirt, a pair of shorts, and ankle height shoes. One of the main items we see him carrying around during this chapter is an old VHS tape of this universe’s version of Power Rangers.

Dionysus from KAOS

Dionysus is a character from the new Netflix series KAOS, and is played by Nabhaan Rizwan. KAOS is a modern dark comedy series that is inspired by the characters and stories of Greek mythology.

To dress like Dionysus, wear a multicolor shirt with bright and/ or multicolor pants. Another look you could create is a mint-green suit with a simple white tee or tank top. Put a pair of green sunglasses in the pocket. Finally, pair with beaded jewelry and carry a black cat stuffed animal.

Isabella Parigi from The Lizzie McGuire Movie (What Dreams Are Made Of)

Isabella Parigi is a character from the early 2000s Disney movie, The Lizzie McGuire Movie and is played by Hilary Duff. She goes on a trip with her class to Italy and lives her dream.

To dress like Isabella in the iconic scene where they sing ‘What Dreams Are Made Of’ alongside Lizzie (making this a great duo costume), wear a green reflective jacket, green skirt, and green necklace.  To create the half-skirt take green, sheer sequin fabric and either pin or sew it to the top of the skirt. If you enjoy sewing or embroidery, take black embroidery thread and create the details in the shape of a X across the color and center of both sides of the jacket. Pair with a prop microphone, fishnet tights, and tall green metallic boots.
