Carbon Costume Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Homura (voiced in Japanese by Chiwa Saito and in English by Cristina Valenzuela) is one of the major main characters in the anime/manga series Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
She is a very diversely written character, treading a fine line between being the protagonist and technically being the villain, due to the constant wearing down on her mental state from every new time iteration she goes through to keep Madoka safe. For this one, I’ve chosen to do her main magical girl outfit.
Homura has very long black hair, that she wears a dark headband on, and greyish purple eyes. Her magical girl outfit consists of a white, grey, and black top with a purple ribbon on the neck, a grey and white skirt, and black tights with purple diamonds down the sides, which lead into a sort of high-heel end (I included some flats if you want it to blend in better with the tights, but high heels of choice are also an option). She also carries her reality warping shield while in combat.
Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Sayaka (voiced in Japanese by Eri Kitamura and in English by Sarah Williams) is one of the major characters in the anime/manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
She was one of the first ones out of the group (in the timeline we first see) to awaken her magical girl form through the wish she made to heal the boy she had feelings for, but once she found the feelings weren’t reciprocated, she started to spiral. She thankfully was able to connect with Kyoko after that.
Like Kyoko, Sayaka has a monochromatic color scheme when it comes to her hair and eyes, with both being about the same shade of blue. Her magical girl outfit is much the same, with a hard shelled blue bodice piece, a white corset-styled button up white midpiece, a layered up blue and white offcenter skirt, and detached sleeves with white gloves. She also wears a white and gold capelet, long white and blue socks, and teal short high heeled boots.
Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Mami (voiced in Japanese by Kaori Mizuhashi and in English by Carrie Keranen) is one of the major characters in the anime/manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
She is the oldest out of the main group of girls, and has been the one actively fighting witches for the longest amount of time, after making a contract with Kyubey following the car accident she was in with her family. She’s seen as a big sister type of character, especially towards Nagisa.
Mami has golden hair worn in two drill curl pigtails, topped with a brown flat-top beret with a white fluff sticking off the side and her gem worn as an additional piece. She wears a white short puffed sleeve top, topped with shoulder straps and a golden ribbon, and she has a brown and white detailed corset piece on top. The shirt has white detached baggy sleeves and black sleeveless gloves, and she wears a tan and brown puffed out skirt under the corset hem. This is finished off with thigh high brown striped socks, and knee high gold and brown boots.
Kyoko Sakura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Kyoko (voiced in Japanese by Ai Nonaka and in English by Lauren Landa) is one of the major characters in the anime/manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
She comes from the broken family of a church owner, and is the last surviving member. Due to the wish she made involving her family, she joined the ranks of the magical girls that fight witches.
Kyoko has long red hair worn up in a high ponytail and tied off with a black ribbon bow, and her eyes are the same shade of red. Her outfit consists of a red,sleeveless, open front dress (with detached cuffed sleeves), with a ruffle trim along the entire hem, a black undervest piece, and worn over a pink skirt. The rest of the outfit is finished off by thigh high black socks, and red and white boots.
Nagisa Momoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Nagisa (voiced in Japanese by Kana Asumi and in English by Xanthe Huynh) is a secondary main character in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series. For this piece I’ve chosen her magical girl outfit, but I’ll do a follow-up for her civilian outfit later.
She started off the series as a Witch and later ends up becoming a key part of the group, as well as becoming a magical girl like the others. As the youngest of the group she’s a lot more childish and cheerful, but does have serious moments.
Nagisa’s magical outfit is very whimsical like the rest of her personality, accentuated by long curly white hair worn in small pigtails sticking out of her brown cat eared hat, and big yellow/orange eyes. She wears a cropped undershirt, a pink poncho, brown bloomers with bowed suspenders attached, and she has fingerless gloves and spotted tights, with orange soles (though I did go with ballet flats just because I couldn’t find ones built in).
