Mami Nanami is a main character in the Rent-A-Girlfriend manga series. Illustrated by Reiji Miyajima, it has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine and complied into twenty one volumes. Mami is Kazuya’s former girlfriend. While she appears friendly, she is actually jealous and possessive in a way that scares off others. She can’t believe that Kazuya found another girlfriend so soon after their break up.

Chizuru Mizuhara is a main character in the Rent-A-Girlfriend manga series. Illustrated by Reiji Miyajima, it has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine and complied into twenty one volumes. By day, Chizuru is a college student under her grandmother Sayuri’s family name, Ichinose. By night, she is a rental girlfriend. Usually her ratings are exceptional, until Kazuya gives her a bad one. Although because he wants to get over his recent breakup, and his grandmother Nagomi takes a liking to her, Kazuya continues to rent her services. This becomes difficult when they realize they attend the same college and live next to each other.

Namaari (voiced by Gemma Chan) is the primary antagonist of the Disney animated feature film Raya and the Last Dragon.  She is the princess of Fang, one of the five lands of Kumandra, just as Raya is a princess of Heart.  Namaari is fiercely protective of her people and will do whatever it takes to help them prosper.  She wears her hair short and shorn on one side where she wears a long gold tassel earring.  If you aren’t quite ready for an undercut, a deep side part and some gel to slick back the hair on the left side of your head can help you achieve a similar look.  She also wears gold arm bands and a gold belt over a red sash, harem pants, and a beige tank top.

Ali Mills (played by Elisabeth Shue) is a main character in the 1984 movie The Karate Kid.  Ali befriends Daniel LaRusso as he trains for the All-Valley Karate Championships under Mr. Miyagi.  A popular and stylish girl, Ali wears a number of 80s-inspired outfits throughout the film.  If you can’t find the exact pieces to match her costuming, be sure to focus on the colors and silhouettes; she often wears bold colors but in more pastel shades than many might associate with the decade’s fashions.

Teresa Lisbon (played by Robbin Tunney) is a long-suffering, hard-boiled detective working for the California Bureau of Investigation, leading a team that includes the incorrigible mentalist, Patrick Jane. Lisbon’s hard-as-nails, by-the-book personality is tested over and over again by Jane as they learn to work with each other over several seasons of The Mentalist. Her business-casual style usually encompasses boot-cut trousers, a basic tucked-in top, and a black jacket — either an office-friendly blazer or leather jacket. She’s rarely seen without her crucifix necklace, symbolic of the religious upbringing she counts among her many strongly-held convictions.

What she lacks in health stats, she makes up for in power. And as leader of the Goldarm gang, Belle knows power.

Her confidence shows in the regal colors she uses in her costume. Purple gloves and a purple scarf draped as a cape complement her purple vest and green pants. Black boots, a black belt, and yellow shirt round out her outfit while black glasses and a white wig finish off the whole costume.

Before dying a second time, Power and Denji make a contract — if he finds the reborn Blood Devil, he’ll turn her back into Power so they can be friends again. Power wields a giant red scythe as her weapon. Use the red spray paint to paint the scythe prop.
