Women
Gretel Grant-Gomez from Hamster & Gretel
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 from The Black Phone
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
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 from Carmen Sandiego
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.
Swindler from Akudama Drive
Swindler (voiced in Japanese by Tomoyo Kurosawa and in English by Macy Anne Johnson) is the main character of Akudama Drive, and the main reason that the entire story of the series kicks off in the first place.
At the start she was just an ordinary girl working for the city she lived in, which had a very firm crackdown on crime and criminals, until an innocent mistake threw her headlong into the world of akudamas where she joined their ranks to save herself.
While her appearance does chance rather drastically by the end of the series, at the start she has shoulder length black hair with pink streaks in her bangs and detailed purplish pink eyes.
Swindler’s main outfit is rather simple, it’s a pink and white zip dress, high fingerless gloves, a blue bracelet, thigh high socks, pink heeled shoes, a small blue backpack, and the digitally linked choker that the other akudamas also have attached to them.
Rayla from The Dragon Prince
Rayla is a character in the Netflix animated series, The Dragon Prince. She is a teenage Moonshadow Elf assassin who allies with Callum and Ezran. The three of them must deliver the Dragon Prince back to his mother. Eventually, Rayla and Callum pursue a romantic relationship. Her exceptional weapon skills make her a known prodigy. You can follow this DIY guide or purchase the ready made costume.
Shock from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Shock, voiced by Catherine O’Hara, is part of the trio of antagonistic Trick or Treaters in the 1993 movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, along with Lock and Barrel.
She has pale green tinted skin, black eyes, stringy and curly deep turquoise hair with the same color around her eyes, and lighter turquoise on her lips.
Shock has a typical sort of witch costume, with a dusty purple hat with a ribbon, a dress of about the same color depending on the version (Kingdom Hearts has a lighter pinkish dress instead) with a darker purple trim around the collar, hem, and sleeves, and wears a green witch mask to go with her costume.
She has what appears to be grey gloves on, and what looks like black thigh high boots (you can probably go with just regular witch boots instead, with the tights listed above, and have the same effect).
Lara Croft from Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Lara Croft (voiced by Camilla Luddington) is back in the latest iteration of the well-known adventure game. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third, and reportedly, last, game in the Survivor Timeline of the series. Lara’s look remains as gritty and practical as in earlier installments, with dark cargo pants, fingerless gloves, and a blue and black tank top as her primary costume. It’s unlikely you’ll find pieces to exactly match her in-game outfits, so focus on getting as close as you can. Lara uses a pickaxe that would set you back several hundred dollars, so if you decide to accessorize with one, don’t be afraid to go with a cheaper model.
Andrea Davenport from The Ghost and Molly McGee
Andrea Davenport (voiced by Jules Medcraft) is a top streamer and former nemesis of Molly McGee on the cartoon series The Ghost and Molly McGee. Andrea can come across as egotistical, but it is eventually revealed that she’s very lonely, thereby becoming a friend of Molly and Libby Stein-Torres. Andrea has ombre hair and wears a pink hoodie and purple skirt with white boots.
Anna Worthington
Anna Worthington is a character in Codename: Kids Next Door. She acts as secretary to James Nixon McGarfield, the class president of Gallagher Elementary’s fourth graders. Later on, she becomes his girlfriend. Because of her love for him, Anna is devoted to assisting Jimmy with his schemes. She isn’t a direct villain, but she can be cunning, possessive, and temperamental.
