Carbon Costume

Linh Song is a character from Susan Messenger’s Keeper of the Lost Cities book series.  Linh is an elf with hydrokinetic powers and an ally of Sophie Foster.  She also has a twin brother named Tam.  When recreating Linh’s look, it’s important to remember you may not be able to find exact replicas of her costume.  Instead, focus on similar color palettes and silhouettes.  You can layer a turtleneck under a sleeveless piece, or opt for a darker color or shorter-sleeved tunic instead, depending on your preference and which you think is closest.  Pinning the wig’s bangs to the side will make it look more like Linh’s side-swept hair, or if you have long black hair already, you can dye the tips with temporary silver spray.  If you’re crafty, you might be able to replicate Linh’s crest-shaped brooch with a little DIY.  Otherwise, a pin with two wolves can serve in its place.

In Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!, Coco Diablo (voiced by Myrna Velasco) is a fashionable costume maker who sells her work to criminals with ill intentions, even those dedicated to taking down Shaggy and the gang. Coco develops a soft spot for Velma, who harbors a crush in return. This makes the notion that Velma is queer officially canon.

Izanami (voiced in Japanese by Mitsuki Saiga and in English by Marianna Miller) is one of the side antagonists turned main cast member of the Netflix anime B the Beginning.

They have a very strong attachment to Koku due to their past history together, as well as the legend of the black winged king that they all have connections to. Izanami, along with Yuna for a brief while, was part of the Market Maker group, and is a very strong fighter, albeit using unusual techniques (a skateboard).

Izanami has very pale hair with a pinkish tinge to it, vibrant blue eyes, and some of the most elaborate makeup out of all the MM members, including drawn on brows, a spiked crescent moon under their eye, and another mouth drawn to the side of their actual one.

There are two main outfits that Izanami wears in the series, but I chose the season one version. Even as a child, Izanami wore a mix of both the boys and girls outfits at Jaula Blanca, and this carried on into adulthood, with the current outfit they wear being a long white button up dress with rainbow buttons, a black suit jacket over top, a black tie around their neck, black gloves, dark cuffed jeans, one pink and white striped sock, one purple and pink striped sock, and a pair of white and black thick soled shoes.

Jolyne Cujoh is the protagonist of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. As the daughter of Jotaro, she is the only female JoJo to date. She is an inmate Green Dolphin Street Prison after her ex boyfriend set her up as an accomplice to murder. She possesses a pendant that contains a fragment of the Stand Bestowing Arrow. After her father visits, Jolyne finds she can manifest a Stand too. Her Stand is Stone Free, which allows her to unravel her body into many threads.

Gretel Grant-Gomez (voiced by Meli Povenmire) is the titular protagonist of the Disney Channel series Hamster & Gretel.  Gretel is an energetic, outgoing kid who moonlights as a superhero.  Gretel’s usual attire consists of an orange skirt, and a light teal blouse with sneakers to match.  When she transforms into a superhero, her costume consists almost exclusively of shades of pink.  You can add a “G” to the front of your shirt easily with some fabric paint; just make sure it has plenty of time to dry!  No matter which version of Gretel’s costume you choose to recreate, don’t forget the blonde bob, blue headband, tall white crew socks, and trusty hamster sidekick.

Gwen Blake (played by Madeleine McGraw) is the sister of Finney Blake in The Black Phone.  Gwen experiences psychic dreams that shed light on The Grabber and his previous victims.  Gwen wears a variety of 70s-inspired fashion choices, often favoring hues of red and yellow that run the spectrum.  When recreating some of her looks, remember it’s okay to be a little interpretive, since it’s unlikely you’ll find exact copies of these vintage fashions.  For her pinafore dress, you can look for one with similar colors or patterns to layer over your turtleneck.  If your hair isn’t long enough to braid, a brown wig can be fashioned into pigtails instead.

Keyleth or “Kiki” is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Marisha Ray. She is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. Keyleth is a half-elf druid party member of Vox Machina. She was raised in Zephrah as part of the Air Ashari. She left home to attempt the Aramentae, a noble odyssey of her tribe. While adventuring with Vox Machina, she wielded a legendary staff called the Spire of Conflux. Using this staff, she fought against the Chroma Conclave. Keyleth completed her Aramente and became headmaster of the Air Ashari. Her color schemes consist of greens and browns to reflect her deep love for nature.

Julia Argent (voiced by Charlet Chung) is one of the key characters in the Netflix version of Carmen Sandiego.

She is an A.C.M.E. agent that was formerly part of Interpol, and one of the few people in her team from the beginning that believed that Carmen wasn’t the threat that the rest made her out to be, which lead to her helping Carmen’s team in future.

Julia is lightly freckled, with dark eyes and very short blackish-blue hair. Her main outfit she’s seen in during the series is a blue pantsuit set, a reddish orange shirt underneath, a pendant necklace, stud earrings, circular framed glasses, and chocolate brown loafers.
