Carbon Costume

Nancy Wheeler (played by Natalia Dyer) is the older sister of Mike in Stranger Things.  At the beginning of the series, Nancy is best friends with Barb and is dating Steve.  However, as things progress, she begins a relationship with Jonathan Byers and the two of them investigate the Hawkins lab together.  Natalia is one of the most fashionable characters on Stranger Things and can be seen wearing many iconic ’80s outfits throughout every season.

Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) is the loyal older sister of Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. Alex could have easily felt stifled in the shadow of her superpowered sibling, but she’s embraced her unique accomplishments and really come into her own as a fellow superhero. In early episodes of Supergirl, Alex’s fitted black garb and holster belts evoked a Black Widow-esque vibe, but the character and costume have both evolved.

Elle Driver played by Daryl Hannah is a member of The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Her code name is California Mountain Snake. Elle was put in the position Beatrix Kiddo had before her attempted assassination by Bill. It is clear that she and Bill had some sort of romantic relation after Kiddo’s attempted assassination. Her most notable characteristic is her eyepatch which she wears due to having her eye ripped out by Pei Mei for calling him a ‘miserable old fool’ while training. Elle can be described as short-tempered rude and arrogant. Her selfish behavior eventually causes her demise.

Mymble (voiced by Jennifer Saunders) is a character in the decades-old Finnish Moominvalley franchise. In the most recent remake she is a relatively minor character with a very simply design. Don’t let her design fool you, though. Putting together a Mymble cosplay will take a little bit of DIY.

Mymble is usually seen wearing a very full white coat with yellow stripes, yellow buttons, and purple cuffs that match her purple scarf. Her feet aren’t visible which means that you can wear any shoes you want. And her ginger hair is pulled up in a pointy top knot that you can gel in place so that your wig is always ready to go.

The DIY comes in with Mymbles coat. It is very simple but finding something like it is almost impossible. Your best bet is to buy a dress with sleeves, then use fabric paint to add on the stripes. A little bit of sewing will add the buttons to the front. And you can make purple cuffs by cutting off part of the large purple scarf linked above since Mymble’s scarf is fairly short.

You can also add a hoop or petticoat under the dress to fill it out like Mymble’s coat or you can leave the dress loose for the sake of comfort.

Verônica Muniz (played by Taís Araújo) is a talented lawyer. She goes above and beyond when she gets involved in a cause to protect Brazil’s Amazon Rainforest. Verônica finds herself in dangerous situations, but is always reminding people that their spirits cannot be broken. Verônica holds tight to her resolve to face a complicated case in Aruanas.

Mary Jane (played by Missi Pyle) is the spiritual embodiment of marijuana. She appears to Pete in a time of need and gets … attached. Very attached. Clingy, even. But hey, what’s a possibly imaginary relationship with a divine being representing the plant you’ve spent your life growing to a professional like Pete?!

Mary Jane is a bit of a spin on ancient Greek gods. So the basis of her costume is a flowing green dress that attaches at the wrists as well. The attachments are covered with fake marijuana leaves which also make up her crown. A blonde wig and gold sandals finish off the look!

You will have to make her crown, unfortunately. But thankfully it’s easy to make! Start with a basic fern crown and add on fake pot leaves with a glue gun! I recommend the Chandler as it’s the one I use for all of my cosplay work.

In the anime series Kakegurui, Runa Yomozuki (voiced by Mayu Udono and Kayli Mills) is the leader of the election committee, as well as a member of student council at the Hyakkaou Private Academy.  Small of stature, Runa looks much younger than many of her peers and can often be seen eating lollipops to satisfy her sweet tooth.  Runa’s outfit consists of the standard school uniform for Hyakkaou, paired with thigh high striped socks and an orange rabbit kigurumi sweatshirt.

Kei voiced by Mami Koyama is the main female protagonist in Akira. She is a resistance fighter in an anti-government organization. As Neo-Tokyo dissolves she and Shotaro Kaneda join forces and discover the government has been using child test subjects while seeking the ultimate energy of Akira. Keis outfit is functional as well as futuristic. This costume is always a classic choice for any cosplay event.
