Women
Pudding Fong from Tokyo Mew Mew (2002)
Pudding (voiced in Japanese by Hisayo Mochizuki and in English by Kether Donohue) is one of the main characters of the anime/manga Tokyo Mew Mew (2002 anime).
She is the fourth to join the Mew Mews and has the DNA of a golden lion tamarin. Pudding is a circus performer and highly experienced in martial arts, thanks to the tutelage of her father. Out of the girls, she is the one that most closely matches with the traits of her animal.
Pudding’s look is very yellow and brown themed, including her short fluffy blonde hair, brown eyes, and brown monkey ears/tail. She wears a yellow one piece jumpsuit with separated side cuffed sleeves, a matching set of a brown and yellow choker and garter, brown fingerless gloves, tied yellow leg pieces, and brown slip on shoes.
Arisa Uotani (Uo) from Fruits Basket
Uo (voiced in Japanese by Atsumi Tanezaki and in English by Elizabeth Maxwell) is one of the secondary characters in the anime/manga Fruits Basket.
She was formerly involved in gang activity in middle school, but ended up leaving her gang with Tohru‘s help, being saved by Tohru’s mom from being mortally wounded by the remaining members. Finding her own path, she ended up becoming fast best friends with Tohru, as well as Saki once she transferred to their class.
Uo has very long golden blonde hair that she generally wears over one eye, which are golden brown in color. Like her friends, she also wears the blue and white school uniform, but prefers to wear the top with the sleeves half rolled up, no tie or mid-piece, and with a maroon shirt underneath. She wears a much longer skirt than Tohru, reaching to nearly her ankles. She seems to have a few different types of shoes she wears, but the ones I went with were white slip-ons.
Agent Valentina Fontaine
Agent Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, also known as Contessa Fontaine, is an antagonist in the MCU. She is the Director of the CIA who seems to be assembling her own team, currently consisting of John Walker – formerly the new Captain America, now US Agent – and Yelena Belova. Her ex-husband is Everett Ross. When he opposed the US obtaining vibranium from Wakanda, she had him arrested for committing treason. Portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, she appears in smaller roles for Black Widow, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier. She will make a full debut in Thunderbolts. A black trenchcoat and leather gloves give her sleek style a classic villainous edge.
Nina the Killer
Nina the Killer is the titular serial killer character at the heart of a CreepyPasta story. Originally a fan of Jeff the Killer, Nina Hopkins turns down her own twisted path after a bad day at school. Nina is a high school girl with long dark hair that she wears in a ponytail with a red bow and a single streak of purple. Her outfit includes a hoodie, a black pleated skirt, and black and red striped thigh-high socks. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Nina’s appearance is her Chelsea Smile, which you can achieve with a little liquid latex, fake blood, and some patience.
Saki Hanajima (Hana) from Fruits Basket
Saki (voiced in Japanese by Satomi Satō and in English by Jād Saxton) is one of the secondary characters in the anime/manga Fruits Basket.
She has psychic abilities that caused her to be isolated from the rest of her classmates out of fear, until she met Tohru and Uo, who ended up becoming her best friends, despite her trying to push them away for their own sake.
Saki has long black hair that she generally wears in braids, if not just loose, and has greyish purple eyes. When not wearing all black, she wears the blue and white school uniform that her friends do, with black knee high socks, black shoes, and a black jacket worn over top of the sailor top.
Embry G. Oliver from It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement
Embry G. Oliver is the protagonist of the horror game It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement. After their parents are eaten by the monster in their basement, Embry takes over feeding the creature by making it sandwiches. Embry lies to their neighbors about the whereabouts of their parents, claiming they are very ill. When Dr. D. Light attempts to help Embry and their parents, he meets an untimely end, too. Embry has long, messy white hair and wears green bunny slippers, pink striped pants, and a burgundy turtleneck sweater. Their apron has a yellow star on the chest with a red and green stain on the lower portion, which you can recreate with a little bit of paint.
Gloria Sato from Big City Greens
Gloria Sato (voiced by Anna Akana) works at a cafe next to the Green Family’s house in the Disney Channel series Big City Greens. Eventually, she and Cricket become co-workers and Gloria opens her own cafe. Gloria has pale purple skin and blue hair. During her time as a barista at Big Coffee, she is often shown wearing her work uniform which consists of a brown hat and apron over her usual clothes; purple pants and a pink t-shirt. You can iron a coffee cup patch onto your apron to get a closer match to her apron from the show. Once she opens Gloria + Green, her uniform changes to a green apron, which she wears folded so it doesn’t cover her orange shirt. She pairs the look with brown pants. While purple body paint isn’t necessary to pull off Gloria’s look, you can certainly add it if you feel like going the extra mile.
Ruby Daly from The Darkest Minds
Ruby is the protagonist of The Darkest Minds, a YA novel trilogy. On the night of her tenth birthday, she accidentally erases her parents’ memories of her. It’s revealed that she developed mysterious new abilities, and gets classified as an Orange, the most dangerous of all. Ruby gets sent to Camp Thurmond, but she escapes and joins a group of runaways seeking refuge. Amandla Stenberg portrays Ruby in the movie adaptation.
Killjoy from Valorant
Killjoy (voiced by Eva Feiler) is an Agent in the Valorant video game. Born Klara Böhringer, Killjoy is originally from Germany and a nominee for the Distinguished Inventor award. She is the fourth person to join the VALORANT Protocol after Brimstone, Viper, and Omen. Killjoy has medium-length dark hair and round-framed glasses. She wears distressed skinny jeans, a cropped yellow coat, a green beanie, and grey t-shirt. Her accessories include green high-top sneakers, a fanny pack with green thigh harness, and a grey bandana. She also wears black gloves that are missing the pinkie and ring finger, which you can cut off a regular pair of gloves in order to make your costume. If a replica jacket seems a bit steep in price, a plain puffer coat with do just as well.
Dr. D. Light from It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement
Dr. D. Light is a character from the horror game It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement. Dr. D. Light tries to help Embry, who has told their friends and neighbors that their parents are very ill. What he comes to discover, however, is a much darker secret involving a monster in Embry’s basement. Dr. D. Light’s appearance is based heavily on those of a medieval plague doctor. The simplest way to recreate his look is to purchase a plague doctor costume set, which will come with a hat, hood, gloves, and a long jacket with a cowl. Replace the plague mask with a round white mask. With a little paint, some markers, and a dose of creativity, you can alter the mask to look more like the one from the game. Lastly, use a sun-shaped charm and jewelry cord to make the Doctor’s necklace.
