Safu (voiced in Japanese by Kiyono Yasuno, and in English by Hilary Haag) is one of the semi-main characters of the anime No.6. At the start of the series she is Shion’s best (possibly only?) friend, and makes some romantically inclined advances at him, though it’s unclear if it’s meant to be pursuing an actual relationship, or if she just doesn’t want to be separated from him. She ends up becoming a very key part of what’s happening with the cit…

Shizuku (voiced in Japanese by Miho Arakawa and in English by Janice Roman Roku) is part of the Phantom Troupe in the anime Hunter x Hunter. She’s a rather scatterbrained person, sometimes just ignoring her past shortcomings because she just simply forgot what they were. Despite her airheadedness, she is deceptively strong, both in her own merit, and by using her vacuum weapon, Blinky, as a blunt force striker. Shizuku has big brown eyes, short b…

While mainly a part of the Port Mafia, through Dazai’s connections and in response to a larger growing threat concerning both them and the Armed Detec…

Juuzou (voiced in Japanese by Rie Kugimiya and in English by Maxey Whitehead) is a Special Class Ghoul Investigator from the anime/manga Tokyo Ghoul. While he looks (and acts) like a character that probably wouldn’t be considered as one of the good guys, Tokyo Ghoul is a series that is fantastic at turning your expectations in character writing on their head, and makes good guys/bad guys a very grey area. In the early half of the series, Juuzou h…

…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 y…

Chrollo (voiced in Japanese by Mamoru Miyano and in English by Robbie Daymond) is the founder and current leader of the Phantom Troupe is the anime/manga Hunter x Hunter. The outfit I’ve chosen for this article is the disguise that he wears in the York New arc when he’s infiltrating to steal Neon Nostrade’s nen ability, though he does have several other outfits that will be featured in another article later on. Chrollo has soft grey eyes, and whi…

Mikaela Hyakuya (voiced in Japanese by Kenshō Ono and in English by Justin Briner) is half of the main character set in the anime/manga Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End.

Where we see him currently in the manga, he is a vampire, though he prefers not to drink from humans if he can help it. This mainly leads to him feeding off of Yu, his best friend an…
