The newest resident of Sesame Street is the 7-year old girl named Ji-Young. As a Korean-American, Ji-Young makes history as the first muppet of Asian descent on the long-running PBS children’s show. She makes her debut November 25 on “See Us Coming Together: A Sesame Street Special”.

In Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Ikumi Mito is rivals with Soma Yukihira. After she loses a Shokugeki to him, they become allies. While the other students wear standard school uniforms, Ikumi modifies hers to show some skin, tying her shirt and wearing a bikini top underneath.

In Army of the Dead and the prequel Army of Thieves, Ludwig Dieter (played by Matthias Schweighöfer) is a German safecracker who acts nervous but has unmatched skills. He’s hired to recover $200 million in Las Vegas, which at this point is overrun with zombies. Ludwig’s original name is Sebastian Schlencht-Wöhnert, but as a child he drew a comic book about a world-class safecracker named Ludwig Dieter, and eventually adopted the name for himself. Besides the clothing and Casio calculator watch, make sure you style your hair to match his curly golden locks.

Bridgette (voiced by Kristine Fairlie) is a contestant on Cartoon Network’s Total Drama Island and subsequent spinoffs.  Bridgette is part of team Killer Bass with fellow contestants DJ, Courtney, Duncan, Geoff, and others.  Bridgette loves animals and the water, but is known for being rather clumsy on land.  To recreate Bridgette’s look, you’ll need brown sandals, a mint-colored hoodie, bermuda shorts, and a low blonde ponytail.

Brad Bakshi (played by Daniel Pudi) is the head of monetization for the game developer in the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest.  Unlike his co-workers, Brad has no interest in video games and instead is concerned only about money, which often puts him at odds with head engineer Poppy Li, how is more concerned with the game flow and playability.  He has also come into conflict with C.W. Longbottom after playing a nasty prank on the older man.  Brad dresses in business casual attire, preferring comfortable sweaters layered over his collared shirts.  His more preppy looks helps to set him apart from the creative development team members.

Sophie Foster returns in Shannon Messenger’s fifth entry into the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.  In Lodestar, Sophie finds herself fighting against dark forces as she questions whether she can trust the people around her.  As always, Sophie is shown on the cover wearing dark tights and with a short Renaissance-inspired dress and cloak.  To recreate her look, you may have to be a little flexible, as finding an exact replica of her costume can be difficult.  Focus on similar silhouettes such as a pinafore dress that will mimic the fitted bodice of the one she’s depicted wearing, or a handkerchief hem if you’re more interested in replicating the movement of her skirt.

Ophelia Ramírez (voiced by Candi Milo) is Juniper Lee’s best friend on the Cartoon Network show The Life and Times of Juniper Lee.  Ophelia is known for her slightly cynical outlook and her rather glum, deadpan personality.  You might have to get a little creative to recreate Ophelia’s unique pink and purple hairstyle, so don’t be afraid to take a pair of scissors and some gel to a wig to make it fit your needs.

Ezekiel is a character in the first iteration of Cartoon Network’s Total Drama Island. He was a member of the Killer Bass. However his time on the island was cut short, as he was the first contestant to be eliminated. This is mainly due to his money-hungry and sexist mindset. He comes back to redeem himself in Total Drama World Tour, yet he’s voted off first again. Humiliated and angry, Ezekiel becomes a stowaway in the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. When he returns, his appearance resembles that of Gollum.
