Carbon Costume Women
Marie Mjolnir from Soul Eater
Marie (voiced in Japanese by Chieko Honda and in English by Colleen Clinkenbeard) is a secondary important character in the anime/manga series, Soul Eater.
She is a death scythe that teaches at the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA), the school the main group attends, and is known as The Pulverizer. She’s nice, even if a bit emotional and obsessive, and is unlucky in several matters in her life, including love. (Though by the end of the manga, this has significantly turned around~)
Marie has golden hair that extends just past her shoulders, and is worn in a crisscross part, and her one visible eye is an orangey-gold color, while the other is covered in a decorated black eyepatch. For the majority of the anime we see her wearing an outfit that consists of a black long flared sleeve shirt with long tails, over a black and muted gold skirt. The last of it is finished off with a thin golden chain necklace, and thick soled white chunky stilleto heeled boots.

Suzume Mizuno (voiced by Tomoko Akiya and Colleen O’Shaughnessey) is a character in the anime and manga series Zatch Bell! She is a schoolmate of Kiyomaro Takamine, who she has a crush on. Suzume is a bit of a klutz and not a great student, though she has good knife skills. To create her look, you’ll want to start with a short brown wig and white headband. Then, build your school uniform with a blue skirt, a sailor uniform short-sleeved shirt, and a light blue tie. Lastly, you’ll need dark blue loafers and white socks.

Previously known as Ofwarren, Ofdaniel, and Ofhoward, she was inducted as a Handmaid at the same time as June Osborne. Her right eye was removed by the Red Center as punishment for lashing out. At first, her damaged mental state ensures her subservience, but her repeated abuse causes her to work against the government from the inside, eventually seeking escape. The television series portrays Janine as somewhat more rebellious than her literary counterpart.
Jean and Gene Thibedeau from The Umbrella Academy
In season 4 of The Umbrella Academy, Jean (Megan Mullally) and Gene Thibedeau (Nick Offerman) are a married couple, just like their real-life counterparts.
