The Will of the Abyss (voiced in Japanese by Ayako Kawasumi) is one of the key plot characters in the anime/manga Pandora Hearts.

She has control over the Abyss, and is in charge of all the Chains, which has lead to her powers being in high demand by the government organization, Pandora.

Much like Alice, she has very long hair with fluffed out side-pieces and thin braids, but hers is white instead, and her eyes are a pale lavender. She wears a short skirted, intricately detailed white dress with a big outer-belled half skirt, decorated with blue roses and black ribbons. She wears a matching black ribbon with the roses around her neck, and a thicker white ribbon tied around her leg.

Marine Mauri (voiced by Kelly Marot) is one half of the titular siblings in the French cartoon Les Sisters.  Though Marine often needles her older sister Wendy, she also looks up to her, and the two share a lot of love for each other.  Unlike her sister, Marine has honey blonde hair and wears mostly green.  Her outfit includes a green long-sleeved shirt with a heart design, dark green pants, and light green sneakers.  You can recreate her look by purchasing a similar shirt, even if it isn’t an exact match, or opt to use an iron-on decal to spruce up a plain green shirt instead.

Mermaid Barbie is a character in the hit 2023 movie Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig. She’s one of the many Barbies in Barbie Land, with blue, purple, and pink variants – making this the perfect trio cosplay. She’s portrayed by pop artist Dua Lipa – who sings the movie’s bespoke discopop song “Dance the Night Away”. The tail isn’t entirely accurate – we never see Mermaid Barbie’s full tail in the movie – but the color palette is so Barbie!

Chelsea Van Der Zee (voiced by Annie Murphy) is the primary antagonist of the Dreamworks animated film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.  Chelsea is a popular girl at Ruby‘s school and is also a mermaid, though she blends in very well with humans.  To recreate her school-going look from the film, you’ll need a long red wig, blue crop top, and sparkling pants.  Accessorize with a blue choker necklace, green beaded hoop earrings, and white sneakers.  Lastly, add a dab of light blue fingernail polish.

Willa Ferreyra, played by Justine Lupe-Schomp, is from the series Succession. Willa was a former escort and in the series, becomes the partner of one of the Roy siblings: Connor Roy.

Willa is a quiet character starting out in the show, but gains confidence as she becomes closer with Connor. We can see this not only through her dialogue where she stands up for herself and Connor, it is shown very clearly through her costumes. As she accompanies Connor to events with the family and Waystar Royco, she seems to learn to dress perfectly for the occasion and still stand out with her stylish choices. She wears light and flowy dresses at a garden party and other times she dresses edgy but follows current trends like the black choker, that may not exactly fit into the Roy family style. When Connor runs for president after the two are married, her fashion transitions into classic pieces and even 1960s inspired, showing that she wants to dress and feel like her idea of a first lady. Willa has possibly the greatest growth in her wardrobe in the series and is one of the few characters who really remain true to themselves, and that’s why we love her!

Melissa (voiced in Japanese by Mirai Shida and in English by Erica Mendez) is one of the main characters in the first movie in the My Hero Academia franchise, Two Heroes.

She is the daughter of Professor David Shield and is also an inventor herself, offering her assistance and inventions to Izuku and the others throughout the course of the movie. She is seen again later in the manga.

Melissa has tealy-blue eyes that she wears frameless glasses over, and wavy golden yellow hair. Her main outfit consists of a white button-up shirt with an orangey-yellow gingham collar bow and matching trim on the sleeves, a dark pink fitted vest, an off-white pair of capri jeans, long dark pink gingham socks, and brown slouch boots. She also wears a thin brown strap watch.

Nice (voiced in Japanese by Yu Kobayashi and in English by Colleen Clinkenbeard) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/light novel series Baccano!

She is the co-leader of her boyfriend Jacuzzi‘s gang, and the resident bomb expert and enthusiast.

Nice has golden brown eyes and shoulder length shaggy gold hair, and wears both a black eyepatch and a pair of glasses, with the eyepatch being on the side of her face-length scar. She wears a red, sleeveless button-up blouse, tight black pants, black fingerless gloves, and tall light brown boots.

Tomoko Higashikata is a character in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. She lives in Moiroh, Japan. She is the single mother of Josuke Higashikata. She deeply misses his father, Joseph Joestar, as seen when she mistakes Jotaro Kujo for him. While Tomoko is not a Stand user, she is not afraid to assert herself, and she tries her best to be a good parent to Josuke.
