Carbon Costume

Mai Taniyama (voiced in Japanese by Kaori Nazuka and in English by Cherami Leigh) is one of the main characters in the anime Ghost Hunt.

She ends up getting thrown into the world of ghost hunting by accidentally injuring Kazuya Shibuya’s assistant, Lin, and having to sub in for him. Even though it was completely circumstantial, she ended up becoming a very valuable member of the team, and started being able to use her own latent psychic powers.

Mai has short, chin length light brown hair, and big, soft looking brown eyes. The outfit we see her in on most promotional material is her school’s uniform, a long sleeved white uniform top with a red bow and sailor collar, a cream button up jacket over top, a black pleated skirt, matching thigh high black socks, and brown loafers. (I included two uniform sets if you want to mix and match)

In the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, Queen Alicent Hightower (played by Olivia Cooke and Emily Carey) is the wife of King Viserys I, daughter of the Hand of the King Ser Otto Hightower, and mother to Aegon, Aemond, and Helaena. She is the figurehead of “Team Green” when it comes to competing claims to the throne. After a long day of parenting and diplomacy, Alicent has been known to kick off her shoes and put up her feet.

Diane Foxington (voiced by Zazie Beetz) is a supporting character in the animated feature film The Bad Guys.  Governor Foxington is a reformed thief, formerly known as the Crimson Paw, who pursued a life in politics to help make up for her past transgressions.  Though initially skeptical of the redemption of Mr. Wolf and his associates including Mr. Snake, she eventually becomes one of their staunchest supporters, as well as Mr. Wolf’s love interest.  Diane sports several outfits throughout the course of the film, but two of her best include the grey suit she wears as governor and the black bodysuit with a hood she dons as the Crimson Paw. The latter will work as a fully black ensemble, though you can add some of the yellow striping details with tape or paint if you prefer.  Whichever look you choose to recreate, you can layer a fox mask, tail, and/or gloves under your outfit to get as close to the original as possible.

Miki Kuroda (voiced in Japanese by Ami Koshimizu, and in English by Cherami Leigh), also known during the series as Miko to differentiate her from the other Miki, is one of the secondary main characters in the Netflix adaptation of Devilman Crybaby.

From childhood she was close with both Akira and the other Miki, and ran on the track team with them. Miki, along with Akira, transformed into a devilman, which drastically changed her physical appearance and personality.

In this new form, she has deep burgundy hair tied back in a high, braided ponytail, and her eyes are a light brown. For this outfit, Miki wears a sports bra type top with a black sporty bomber jacket over it, a pair of grey runners shorts with a white stripe up each side of the leg, and yellow runners shoes with a black top and a white band over the front.

Shizuku (voiced in Japanese by Miho Arakawa and in English by Janice Roman Roku) is part of the Phantom Troupe in the anime Hunter x Hunter.

She’s a rather scatterbrained person, sometimes just ignoring her past shortcomings because she just simply forgot what they were. Despite her airheadedness, she is deceptively strong, both in her own merit, and by using her vacuum weapon, Blinky, as a blunt force striker.

Shizuku has big brown eyes, short black hair that flips out at the ends, and wears large black framed glasses that sit low on her face. She wears a black turtleneck with a gold upside-down cross necklace (one of the Troupe’s symbols) and gold bracelets over top of the sleeves, and then just normal blue jeans, a grey belt, and chunky teal shoes.

Safu (voiced in Japanese by Kiyono Yasuno, and in English by Hilary Haag) is one of the semi-main characters of the anime No.6.

At the start of the series she is Shion‘s best (possibly only?) friend, and makes some romantically inclined advances at him, though it’s unclear if it’s meant to be pursuing an actual relationship, or if she just doesn’t want to be separated from him.
She ends up becoming a very key part of what’s happening with the city later on towards the end of the short series.

Safu has almost shoulder-length dark brown hair, and brown eyes, and in this particular outfit she has an off-white long sleeved turtleneck, black leggings, brown boots, a deep red skirt, and over top of that she wears a greyish-white winter coat, with a long pink tasselled scarf.

Lucita Sky (voiced by Veronica Hortiguela) is a student at Hero Elementary in the PBS animated series. Lucita’s hero powers include flying, despite her fear of heights. She is also the leader of the Sparks Crew. Lucita’s superhero costume consists of shades of blue and purple, including purple boots and cape, and a blue skirt. The Sparks Crew shirt she wears can be found in some youth sizes through the PBS website, though none are white like she uses for her costume. Instead, you can purchase a plain white shirt and recreate the logo with fabric paint.
