Teletha was raised living around submarines and military bases for most of her life. She is described as a child prodigy, ranking the role of a captain at age sixteen.
The Red Queen
A moniker for the cutting-edge AI system within Umbrella Corporation’s bio-weaponry facility The Hive, the Red Queen causes the entire series of events in the film Resident Evil. After an outbreak of the zombie-causing T-virus occurs within The Hive, the Red Queen initiates a lock-down and will not allow anything living to escape The Hive. She is modeled after the lead programmer’s daughter, appearing as a completely red little girl in the first movie and then as a full-color holographic girl dressed in red in the sequels.
Ivy
Ivy (Drew Barrymore) is the sexy teen who seduces her best friend’s father in 1992’s Poison Ivy. Her character set off the rest of the series that would often replace the main female protagonist in each sequel. Ivy is a troubled teen living with her irresponsible Aunt, who is soon pitied by her best friend and taken in. Everyone overlooks her continuously flirting with her friend’s Father, and instead becomes entranced by her beauty and charisma.
Casey Becker
Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) is the first victim and second killed character of Ghostface in 1996’s Scream. She is a young blonde sweet teenage girl who loves horror slasher films and is dramatically yet ironically killed in the exact fashion. Her character is also the first to appear in the series as well as the opening sequence for the original film.
Jessi Glaser from Big Mouth
A close friend of Andrew and Nick in Big Mouth, Jessi Glaser (Jessi Klein) is just another girl trying to navigate the beginning of her teen years. After getting her period for the first time on a school field trip, she meets the Hormone Monstress and shenanigans ensue. One of her first acts of pubescent rebellion is in buying a scandalous red push-up bra.
Mal
Existing only as a figment of her husband’s memory in the film Inception, Mal (Marion Cotillard) is nevertheless an extremely powerful and often damaging presence. She and her husband, Dominic Cobb, excelled in the manipulation of people’s minds. Unfortunately, they pushed the limits of their abilities too far and Mal lost the ability to differentiate between reality and dreams. This guide is for her pivotal windowsill gown, a deep purple dress with heels.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992 Film)
Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is a blonde valley girl who only cares about fashion, cheerleading, gymnastics, and sometimes boys. But that all changes when she discovers she’s meant to be a slayer… specifically, a vampire slayer. This version of Buffy was the original creation of the character, which kicked off the TV and book series.
Bombshell Enchantress
In DC Bombshells, Enchantress is part of the Suicide Squad during WWII. Though her powers and abilities still revolve around her magic, her look is reminiscent of the witch archetype that was popularized in the 1940’s. Her costume is a combination of classic witch elements and Victorian fashion. The feather pom poms are a good substitute for energy projection, though green wired ribbon or green crystals will also work well.
Ariadne
An architecture student in France, Ariadne (Ellen Page) is recruited by Dominic Cobb as part of a team assigned to complete an inception, or the planting of an idea in someone’s mind. She possesses brilliant architectural design abilities, creating the subconscious maps through which the team navigates in the movie Inception. Ariadne is also the only one who calls out Dominic on his erratic mental state that could endanger the entire team. She dresses like a normal college student, but with an extra fashionable French flair.
Bombshell Stargirl
In DC Bombshells, Stargirl enlists with the Night Witches, a Russian Flying Squadron. She is used as propaganda by the Russians, but she is given a cosmic staff that allows her to fly. Eventually, she is recruited by Mera to join the Allied forces. She is inspired by 1940’s pinups, which includes a victory roll hairstyle and pinup makeup.
