Vanny from Five Night’s at Freddy’s

Vanny (voiced by Heather Masters) is the primary antagonist of the video game Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach.  She is a follower of Glitchtrap and it is heavily implied that she is Vanessa under Glitchtrap’s control.  Vanny has two appearances in the game.  Primarily, Vanny wears a stitched-together rabbit costume with a tartan patch on her left hip and a blue bow at her throat.  Her rabbit mask has menacing red eyes.  You can recreate this look with a replica mask and bodysuit and add bunny foot-shaped slippers if you want.  Alternately, you can embellish a plain white bodysuit with fabric markers to get a little closer to her look in the game, just don’t forget to purchase a bow tie, too.  Vanny also appears in a sidescrolling game called Security Breach: Fury’s Rage where her appearance is a bit different.  For this look, you’ll need grey leggings, white bike shorts, and a grey tank top layered beneath a black belt worn low on your hips and a furry vest.  Finish your costume with white knee-high boots, black arm bands, white fingerless gloves, and a creepy rabbit mask.

Kyoko from River City Girls

Kyoko from River City Girls

While Kyoko (voiced by Kira Buckland) is in detention with her best friend their boyfriends are kidnapped by local criminals. With nobody else to help, the girls take matter in their own hands in the beat-em-up brawler game River City Girls.

Kyoko’s costume is a great choice for closet cosplay. A long ginger wig and red headband with a bow starts off the costume. A blue and white Letterman’s jacket, a white button up shirt, red tie, and grey pleated skirt create her uniform. Her black and white knee-high socks and blue sneakers probably aren’t dress code though!

Misako from River City Girls

Misako from River City Girls

River City Girls is a beat-em-up brawler game that was released for multiple platforms. One of its two main characters, Misako (voiced by Kayli Mills) starts out the game in detention. When she finds out her boyfriend has been kidnapped – along with her best friend’s boyfriend – the girls break out of detention to save the day!

Misako’s costume is fairly easy and also fair comfortable! She wears her black hair in a bob pinned back with red pins. Her uniform shirt and red tie are easy to copy, so long as you tuck her your tie like she does! From there all you need are a pair of black shorts, a pink backpack, green thigh-high socks, and pink loafers. Put it all together and you can be brawling in River City in no time!
