Carbon Costume

Leslie Meyers (voiced by April Stewart) is a character in the animated comedy series South Park.  She is an antagonist in season 19 of the show.  Leslie appears like a normal fourth-grade girl, but it is eventually revealed she is actually a self-aware ad disguised as a student.  At one point, she takes advantage of Kyle Broflovski to spread misinformation.  Leslie has dark hair held back with a yellow headband and wears a yellow shirt with a robot graphic print, green pants, and black shoes.  To create her shirt, use a standard long-sleeved yellow shirt and then use white fabric paint to make the oval of the robot’s face.  Once it dries, draw the antennae, eyes, and mouth with a fabric marker.

Annie Pemdon (voiced by Karina Linch) is one of the two main characters of BrainPOP Jr.‘s educational videos, alongside an orange and silver robot named Moby.  Annie is cheerful and shy, and the only human character with a speaking voice from the BrainPOP Jr. series.  Annie wears a golden yellow and blue raglan tee, which can be hard to find an exact match for, so don’t be afraid to focus on the yellow to get your costume as close as possible.  Annie finishes her outfit with long shorts and grey sneakers.  She wears her dark hair in two pigtails secured with red hair ties, and also wears two red bands on her wrist and a red necklace.  Lastly, Annie dons a pair of red-framed glasses.

Sheska (voiced in Japanese [2003] by Naomi Wakabayashi/[2009] by Chika Fujimura and in English by Gwendolyn Lau) is a secondary character in the anime/manga series Fullmetal Alchemist.

She used to work for the National Central Library, before being fired for reading instead of working. The Elric brothers then went to her for research help, where it was revealed that she has a photographic memory and was able to recreate any book she had read prior.

Sheska has short, messy mouse brown hair, with dark greyish black eyes that she wears half frame round grey glasses over. She wears an eggplant purple turtleneck sweater with blue jeans, with white socks.

Amanda (voiced by Blair Greene-Osako) is the titular character of the indie horror game Amanda the Adventurer.  Alongside her sheep companion Wooly, Amanda explores the world around her while the player slowly realizes all is not what it seems.  Amanda wears a yellow shirt, turquoise shorts, and yellow sneakers with purple socks.  Her hair is styled into two puff balls.

Marta/Martel (voiced in Japanese [2003] by Rumi Kasahara/[2009] by Takako Honda and in English by Tiffany Grant) is a side character in the anime/manga series Fullmetal Alchemist.

She is part of the homunculus Greed’s group of chimera human hybrids, with hers being specifically a snake, which lets her be extremely flexible, past the point of contortion.

Marta has short, slicked back blonde hair and hazel eyes. She wears a black tank top with a knife holster attached to it, belted loose blue pants, and black boots with brown spats over them. Depending on the version, her tattoo is either green or purple.

Kou (voiced in Japanese by Akeno Watanabe and in English by Jamie Marchi) is one of the secondary characters in the anime series Free!

She is Rin Matsuoka’s younger sister, and despite the familial connection, she does not actually attend the same school as him, instead being part of the Iwatobi High School group. She prefers being referred to as Kou, rather than Gou.

Kou has reddish eyes and wine red hair, just like her brother, but hers is worn long and tied up in a high ponytail with a blue tie. She wears the girl’s Iwatobi uniform, consisting of a white button up shirt, a ribbon necktie, and a grey cardigan, all of which are topped by a black blazer, worn with the school’s patch on the chest. The rest of it is fairly standard school clothes, with a brown pleated skirt, dark indigo long socks, and blackish-brown loafers.

Amy Lau (played by Ali Wong) is one half of the toxic road ragers at the heart of the Netflix and A24 series Beef.  Amy is a high-strung entrepreneur attempting to broker a deal for her business while also juggling motherhood, a strained relationship with her husband and mother-in-law, and her increasingly volatile interactions with Danny Cho.  Amy changes her hair throughout the series, but is rarely seen without her signature octagon glasses.  Her wardrobe draws on neutral tones and natural fabrics, with a chic but relaxed silhouette.  You can’t go wrong with a comfortably oversized jumpsuit in beige or grey.

Ichigo (voiced in Japanese by Saki Nakajima and in English by Amanda Lipitz) is the main character of the anime/manga Tokyo Mew Mew (2002 anime).

She is the leader of the Mew Mews and as with the others, she is DNA fused with an animal, hers being an Iriomote cat. This has lead to her exhibiting many cat-like traits after the fact, including enhanced acrobatics and the inclination to sleep more.

Ichigo’s entire motif is pink themed, including her hair and her eyes. To show the Iriomote cat elements of her DNA, she has a pair of black and pink cat ears, and a tail, topped with a bowed bell. The rest of her outfit is a short pink dress with detached arm cuffs, red gloves, a red and pink garter and collar, and red boots.
