Carbon Costume

Zoe Baker (voiced by Giselle Gilbert) is a character in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.  Zoe’s parents and brother are victims of Eveline’s mind control, which Zoe manages to evade by reading a letter from Mia Winters.  She helps Mia’s husband Ethan escape her family’s clutches, which eventually results in punishment in the form of crystallization by Eveline.  To recreate Zoe’s look, you can either choose to dress as she does herself, or emulate her crystallized form.  The first is fairly simple, requiring loose-fitting jeans, a tank top, and loafers.  If you’re up for the challenge of being crystallized, a rhinestone-studded bodysuit with a white wig and makeup to match can help replicate the creepy and ethereal appearance from the game.

Ada Wong (voiced in RE4 by Sally Cahill) is a character from the Resident Evil franchise.  She has appeared in several iterations throughout the course of the series.  In Resident Evil 4, Ada wears an embroidered dress with a high thigh slit.  There are a few ways you can choose to recreate her appearance, including buying a replica dress.  Otherwise, you can opt for a simpler version or a plain red dress with a similar silhouette.  You can also choose to wear either flats or heels depending on which you prefer.  Be sure to top the outfit off with a thigh holster and a prop gun, as Ada’s work as a spy means she’s always armed.

Ada Wong (voiced by Courtenay Taylor in RE6) has gone through several different iterations (and outfits) since she was introduced to the Resident Evil franchise.  In RE6, she’s back with a slightly more practical look for her chosen profession.  To recreate her appearance in this version, you’ll need black leather gloves, pants, and stiletto boots, as well as a red button-down shirt left open, with the sleeves rolled and the collar popped.  A real crossbow is likely outside the budget for a costume, so stick with the pistol worn in her shoulder harness, or opt for a smaller, more toy-like version instead.

Elrena is a member of the Dandelions, a group of keyblade wielders in the Kingdom Hearts mobile game Union χ, and the Somebody of Larxene, a member of Organization XIII.

As a member of the Dandelions she is also friends and commonly teamed up with Strelitzia, who is Lauriam‘s little sister, Lauriam later becoming Marluxia in the Organization as well.

While the two little antenna points in her hair stays consistent from being Elrena to becoming Larxene, her younger form does have bangs as well. Her eye color being a tealy green does however stay the same (up to a point).

Elrena wears a white buttoned shirt over a silver beaded necklace, with a black tie over top, a matching black belt with silver buckle and black athletic shorts, a pocket chain to match the necklace, a teal biker jacket, black knee high socks, and zip up boots that match the jacket.

Lauriam is one of the members of the Dandelions in the mobile game Kingdom Hearts Union χ and was chosen to be one of the new union leaders, he later on becomes Marluxia in Organization XIII.

The majority of the time we see him, he is looking to find answers about what befell his sister Strelitzia, and her teammate, Elrena, finally gives him a concrete answer, which sends him into a spiral.

Lauriam looks very much the same as he does later on when he becomes Marluxia, though his dusty pink hair is a little shorter and choppier here, but his eyes are still the same vibrant blue.

He wears a longer white button shirt with flared sleeves and a stiff flared collar, a black, gold buttoned, vest with tattered ends that reach down to the backs of his legs, deep pink pants tucked into his boots, and black front zip boots with gold detailing.

Tiny Tina (voiced by Ashley Burch) is an NPC from the Broderlands game franchise who’s received her own game in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.  Tiny Tina is a teenage explosives expert with an eccentric look to match.  To recreate her costume, you’ll need a little patience and plenty of layering.  Starting with your main outfit, you’ll want to put a brown tank top and skirt over your pink counterparts.  Don’t be afraid to distress the brown skirt a little to get closer to her look.  She also wears a pair of asymmetrical brown knickers and mismatched shoes.  To match the look of her lower body, wear a baggy white sock on one foot and put two pink legwarmers on the other side to make it appear thicker.  Tiny Tina also wears an arm sleeve on her right side and an orange bandana around her neck, as well as plenty of sloppily placed bandages.  Top the look off with a pink wizard hat and bunny ears.  Though they won’t completely match the creepy rabbit head she wears in the game, you can cut slits into the hat for the ears so they stand to their fullest height.

Eula Lawrence (voiced by Suzie Yeung in English) is a character in the popular RPG game Genshin Impact. Eula is a descendent of the Lawrence Clan, and Captain of the Knights of Favonius’ Reconnaissance Company.  Eula’s character design is intricate, so if you’re interested in an exact recreation, it’s best to look for cosplay sets specifically designed for the character.  If you’re looking for something more interpretive (and potentially cost-effective), it may still be a good idea to splurge for the unique teal wig, but you can build a similar-looking design with a black bodysuit, white blazer, blue gloves and tie, and black thigh-high boots.  Your version may look more modern, but focus on getting the color scheme and silhouette right to get as close as possible.

Ranni, also known as the Snow Witch (voiced by Aimee-Ffion Edwards) is a character in the Elden Ring video game.  Ranni provides the Tarnished with the Spirit Calling Bell after receiving the Torrent from Melina. Ranni’s costume includes an oversized hat that can be difficult to pin down unless you purchase a pre-made cosplay set.  If you’re looking to build your own costume, you may need to scale down the hat size or scour handmade shops on Etsy.  Either way, adorning the brim with an adjustable silver headpiece can help it look more like Ranni’s from the game.  Whether you decide to make your own costume with different pieces such as a medieval-inspired dress and faux-fur trimmed cloak or purchase a full set pre-made, you can always take your outfit to the next level by adding pale blue body paint and a matching wig.  Likewise, if you’d like to create extra arms–Ranni has four–you can follow a tutorial like this one if you’re feeling a bit crafty.
