Carbon Costume Women
Greendale Human Being
In the hit sitcom Community, the Greendale Human Being is the school mascot for Greendale Community College. Created by Pierce Hawthorne and Dean Pelton, they are a genderless, anthropomorphic, non-offensive “being.” With the black fabric marker, draw two black dots for the eyes and a wide smile on the zentai mask.
Maria from Disjointed
Maria (played by Nicole Sullivan) starts out as just another customer at Ruth’s Alternative Caring. Before long she’s made herself at home with the staff while she avoid a, let’s say, less than ideal marriage. Over the course of the show she becomes as much a fixture at the dispensary as any of the staff and becomes a close friend to Ruth. Maria even seems to find love in the show’s final episode, despite her earlier troubles.
Cosplaying as Maria is fairly straightforward. Start with her signature blonde hair then add in a cardigan and a colorful shirt. A pair of tight jeans and heeled sandals completes the look. Of course Maria is usually seen with a vape pen too. We can’t recommend one but if you’ve got one already, it would make a great accessory! (Just make sure they’re allowed at whatever convention you’re attending!)
Yun-Jin from Dead by Daylight
In Dead by Daylight, Yun-Jin Lee is one of the survivors. Yun-Jin is a driven music producer and fashionista who’s worked with kpop artists like Ji-Woon Hak, who adopts the stage name The Trickster.
Aries
Aries (March 21st to April 19th) is the cardinal fire sign of the zodiac. The sign is ruled by the planet Mars named after the Roman god of war. Aries are as confident as they are impulsive. Vibrant warm color schemes are a must for this costume. Don’t be afraid of going too bold! This look is perfect for an Aries on Halloween or at any costume party.
Glimmer from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Glimmer is a main character in the Netflix animated series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. As the daughter of King Micah and Queen Angella, she is the princess of Bright Moon.

She refuses to be underestimated or succumb to evil, and will always persist in the name of love and fairness. She possesses a few magical abilities, such as teleportation and sparkle blasts. When her mother sacrifices herself to save Etheria, Glimmer becomes the queen and commander of Bright Moon. This costume guide showcases her princess outfit. Arda Wigs even released a tutorial on how to turn this wig into Glimmer’s hairstyle, which you can find here.
The Legion (Susie and Joey) from Dead by Daylight
The Legion is a killer in the game Dead by Daylight that consists of friends Susie and Joey, as well as Frank and Julie. Susie is the most timid of the group, having to be spurred on by her friends in order to participate in the murder that resulted in their becoming killers in the game. Joey is an impulsive show-off, which helped him click with Frank almost immediately. Whether you choose to recreate just one or all four of these looks together, the Legion offers a lot of room for creativity and finding a character design that suits your personality.
Asami Sato from Legend of Korra
Asami Sato is a major character in Nickelodeon’s Legend of Korra, the continuation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We’re first introduced to Asami after she hits Mako with her motorbike. They quickly get into a relationship, which upsets Korra, because she had a crush on Mako. On their date, it’s revealed that Asami is the daughter of Hiroshi Sato, the wealthy inventor of motorbikes. While Asami is a non-bender, she joins Team Avatar to defeat Amon. This proves an emotional struggle because she must betray her father. Upon his sacrificial death, she takes over the company, starting a career in business and industrialization as the CEO of Future Industries. At the end of the series, Asami begins a relationship with Korra.

France from Hetalia
Francis Bonnefoy, also known as France, is a main character in the anime Hetalia: Axis Powers. He is seen as a “Big Brother” by other countries, such as Austria. However he tends to make inappropriate comments towards the other countries, warranting unwanted affection. He has a rivalry with England. While our guide isn’t screen accurate, we designed it with France’s fashionable and more feminine tastes in mind. But of course we included a red rose, which is his signature accessory.
Netossa from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Netossa is a minor character in the Netflix animated series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She was a part of the original Princess Alliance, and is now a part of the current Princess Alliance. Unlike other princesses, Netossa is not tied to a kingdom or element, but she is an ally to Bright Moon. From the far reaches of Etheria, Netossa is able to cast magic nets to trap enemies. In other words, her powers revolve around energy manipulation. Netossa is rather perceptive, as she identified the weaknesses of the other princesses and figured out how to defeat Catra. She also deeply cares for her wife, Spinnerella. Despite their playful competition, she will do anything to ensure her safety.
