Carbon Costume Cassandra Lee Morris
Totoko Yowai from Osomatsu-San
Totoko (voiced in Japanese by Aya Endo and in English by Cassandra Lee Morris) is one of the main female characters in the 2015 adaptation of the anime Osomatsu-San.
She is a recurring character that originally appeared in Osomatsu-Kun, the previous iteration of this series, and has carried on into the newer version. She is the daughter of fish merchants, and uses that part of her upbringing in her prospective idol career, being a fish themed idol (which never quite goes well for her). Towards the latter part of the series, she’s formed an unsteady friendship with another idol in the scene, Hashimoto Nyaa, despite how much they initially hated each other.
Totoko has mid-toned brown hair, worn slightly up in a bun topped with a pink headband, and with two small low pigtails that are tied with light yellow ribbons. Her eyes are a similar soft brown shade, and are very big and sparkly. Her usual outfit she’s seen in consists of a deep pink turtleneck sweater, a yellowy-green pleated skirt with yellow plaid details, and a pair of strapped closed-toed pumps in the same color pink as her sweater.
Umbrella Renoir from Skullgirls
Umbrella Renoir (voiced by Ayaka Shimizu and Cassandra Lee Morris) is a character from the Skullgirls video game franchise. Umbrella is the younger sister of Parasoul. Umbrella is rather short with light pink hair. She wears a yellow ensemble that includes a raincoat, rain hat, and rain boots. She wields the Living Weapon Hungren; a purple umbrella with monster eyes. To recreate Hungren, take a purple golf umbrella and glue creepy monster eyes onto it with a glue gun.
Calaveras from Sailor Moon
Calaveras is a frightening foe. She is the Black Moon Clan’s answer to Sailor Venus with the strength and drive to prove it Her fearsome whip is no easy weapon to face down and if she were to ever cooperate with her sisters, it would be a dark day for the Sailor Scouts.
The first step to developing a Calaveras cosplay is to get a long brunette wig and style the hair into a bun, then attach a large gold bow on top. You’ll then want black crystal earrings and face paint markers for the black crescent moon. Gold cuffs, a gold bustier, gold boots, and a red pleated skirt round out her look. And of course you’ll want your trusty whip. Just be sure and check convention regulations before taking it inside an event.
Takita from Drifting Dragons
Takita is a young rookie aboard the Draking ship, Quin Zaza, and despite her inexperience, she is not the only quirky one with a mysterious past in the crew. Her time on the ship teaches her life skills and helps her to pay off her debts. The interesting thing about the Quin Zaza crew’s uniforms is that they’re styled not unlike real-world chef uniforms, which seems appropriate for a cooking anime/manga.
