Riley (played by Storm Reid) is the roommate and love interest of Ellie on HBO’s series The Last of Us.  Riley is a former classmate of Ellie’s who escaped the Fedra school where they lived together and joined the Fireflies to help liberate the Boston QZ.  Riley lives in an abandoned mall where she’s been stationed by Marlene and sneaks Ellie out of her dorm to see it before she leaves the city.  Riley wears her long blonde braids in a ponytail, with a green headband.  The rest of her attire includes a t-shirt, a navy twill button-down, a hoodie, and jeans.  She also dons sturdy boots and a burgundy backpack.

Rin (voiced in Japanese by Aki Toyosaki and in English by Brina Palencia) is one of the members of the Sohma family in the anime/manga Fruits Basket).

She is the Horse of the zodiac, and one of the few characters that is only in the second iteration of the anime, due to the short length of the original series. She has a close romantic relationship with Haru, even despite the hatred directed at her by Akito about it.

Rin has long dark hair cut in straight across bangs, and distant looking brown eyes. Like the others, her appearance does change a bit throughout the series, but for this outfit she has a looped cross necklace and wrist cuffs as accessories, and wears a white tank top with a low scooped back and ruffled sleeves over a red bra, with a black skirt/skort, and black knee high boots.

Phi (voiced in Japanese by Chiaki Omigawa and in English by Karen Strassman) is one of the main characters in the second and third games of the Zero Escape series, and for this one I’ll be focusing on her Virtue’s Last Reward design.

She has short pixie cut white hair, with two black dahlia floral hair clips sitting offcenter on her head, and greyish-blue eyes. Her outfit all follows a blue/white/black theme, with layered black and white tank-tops, a beaded long layered necklace over top of them, a black miniskirt with a blue underlayer, and she wears a light blue long cardigan. The brooch she wears attached to the coat is a lasting memento of her mother. She finishes the look off with shin-high black slouch boots.

The Twins (voiced by Anita Pudikova) are ballerina robots created as bodyguards for Dmitry Sechenov in the video game Atomic Heart.  Known as only Left and Right, the humanoid Twins were created with the most advanced technology available, making them as deadly as they are lovely.  The twins have smooth silver faces and lithe bodies.  To recreate their look, you can start with a full head-to-toe metallic silver bodysuit and layer a black leotard overtop.  If you don’t have hair long enough to style as a braided crown, use a wig, but either way, you’ll want to go heavy on the gold hairspray to get as close to the static metal hair look as possible.  Depending on which Twin you choose to play, you may also need a gold cropped jacket.  Lastly, add a red star sticker to the center of your expressionless forehead and, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can also add gold details to your elbows, wrists, knees, and feet with some fabric paint.

Yoko Tanaka (Naomi J Ogawa) is a minor character in Netflix’s Wednesday. She is a vampire student at Nevermore Academy, and secretly a member of the Nightshade Society. Yoko and Enid are close friends – the two temporarily become roommates after Enid’s fight with Wednesday. Because of show’s success, you can now purchase your very own uniform!

V is a member of the popular K-Pop band BTS. This is his outfit in the music video for their song, “Butter” (Cooler Remix). All the members wear athleisure, such as tracksuits and oversized t-shirts, and accessorize with necklaces. Use the multi-colored sharpies on the cowry shell necklace. You can match the colors of V’s necklace, or customize with your own favorite colors! For added accuracy, swap out the white shoelaces on the sneakers with the black shoelaces listed here.

Mother Miranda (voiced by Michelle Lukes) is the antagonist of Resident Evil Village.  Mother Miranda was once a biologist who became a cult leader after she is infected by the Mold following the death of her daughter.  Mother Miranda experimented on villagers in the hopes of reviving her daughter, including Alcina Dimitrescu.  Eventually, she kidnaps Rosemary Winters, which draws Rose’s father Ethan as well as Chris Redfield to the Village in an attempt to thwart her.  Mother Miranda’s most recognizable costume includes a gold headdress and ornate black wings. To recreate her look, you can start with a black and silver renaissance gown and fingerless gloves.  Add the wings and drape a folded scarf over your shoulders.  If your hair is too dark, you can don a blonde wig, though it will be covered with a head wrap.  Lastly, you’ll need your gold crown and face chain mask to complete the look.

Inugami (voiced in Japanese by Junichi Suwabe and in English by Patrick Seitz) is the head of the Supernatural Detective Agency that Kabane, Akira, and Shiki live and work at, in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He specializes in aiding other supernatural beings, and uses transformative magic due to being a tanuki, which has lead to him being extremely at odds with Lady Inari and the rest of the foxes.

Inugami has golden fluffy hair tied back in a loose ponytail, and he wears a tannish-gold suit vest and pants over a long sleeve dark green button-up shirt, topped with a light green tie. He also has a pair of light brown oxford loafers.

Poe (voiced in Japanese by Toshiyuki Morikawa and in English by Todd Haberkorn) is one of the secondary characters in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

A former member of the Guild (an American group of ability users in the series) that decided to solely dedicate himself to finally beating Ranpo in a battle of wits and investigation, as he’d lost to him six years prior to the series.

He has messy brown hair that usually falls over his grey eyes, and wears a very multilayered outfit, with at least 4 upper layers. Poe also wears normal brownish pants, and knee light brown high heeled boots. I also included a raccoon plushie because he always carries around his pet raccoon, Karl.

Whiskey (played by Madelyn Cline) is the girlfriend of Duke Cody working to build her brand by any means necessary in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Whiskey quickly strikes up a rapport with Andi Brand once they are on the island, and is caught having an affair with Miles Bron by Detective Benoit Blanc.  Whiskey arrives for the trip wearing white cut-offs and a white tie-front crop top with tasseled boots.  For dinner, she dons a rust-colored dress with side cut-outs.  She always wears a gold necklace with her astrology sign, Taurus.
