Asta (voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara and Dallas Reid) is one of the main protagonists of the Black Clover anime series.  Asta is an orphan raised by Orsi Orfai alongside his foster brother Yuno.  While Yuno excels in the magic arts, Asta exhibits no talent for magic despite a strong desire to become the Magic Emperor.  To make up for his lack of skill, Asta trains his body relentlessly, resulting in a very muscular physique for his size.  Asta’s costume consists of blue knickers, a white tunic, and a blue cropped jacket, as well as a headband and, later, a matching cloak.

Phosphophyllite, or Phos for short, is the main protagonist of the anime Land of the Lustrous. She is part of an immortal, humanoid species called the Gems that inhabit the only landmass left in the world.

Kyoko Kirigiri (voiced by Yoko Hikasa in Japanese and both Erika Harlacher and Caitlin Glass in English) is one of the main characters in the Danganronpa anime and game series, including Trigger Happy Havoc.  Kyoko has long, light purple hair which she wears down with a braid in the side during her high school days.  Her high school outfit consists of a purple jacket, orange tie, and pleated skirt.  In Danganronpa 3, Kyoko becomes the 14th Division’s leader, and her outfit matures a little with a purple bodycon skirt, ankle booties, and her long hair pulled back in a low ponytail.  In both versions, she wears a white long sleeved blouse and studded black gloves.

Caitlyn – Also known as Pop – is your typical little sister. She wants to do everything her big sister does, no matter how dangerous or difficult. And she doesn’t like having her big sister hovering over her. It causes a few fights but at the end of the day Caitlyn’s sweet nature wins out.

Some of Caitlyn’s personality comes out in her clothes. Her main color when not in her magical outfit is purple. Red is her main magical color for those who plan on making their own magical cosplay!

For her daily outfit you’ll need lavender socks, dark purple shorts, blue shoes, and a long sleeved lavender shirt. To get closer to Caitlyn’s details you will also want large white buttons that you either sew or glue to the top, a detachable peter pan collar, and purple pompoms to decorate the top of each shoe. Add in a bright pink wig and a little bit of attitude and you’re ready to go!
