Carbon Costume

Valentine (voiced by Asami Imai and Laura Post) is an antagonist from the fighting game Skullgirls.  A surviving member of the Last Hope, Valentine aids Brain Drain in kidnapping and transforming Painwheel.  Valentine has blue hair she wears in a ponytail.  Her dress looks a lot like a sexy nurse uniform, and you can update your costume to be more accurate with pink fabric paint on the dress and cap.  She also wears white flats, bandages wrapped around her calves, and white gloves. She carries a hacksaw.  You can tie pink ribbon into shape and glue it to your leg wraps to get closer to her look from the game.  Lastly, Valentine wears a patch over her heavily scarred right eye, so you’ll need an adhesive eye patch.

Painwheel (voiced by Izumi Kitta and Danielle McRae) is one of the eight original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  She was kidnapped and eventually transformed into her terrifying form by Valentine and Brain Drain.  Painwheel has brown hair that is mostly pulled back, though two pieces are left free to frame her face.  She also wears a creepy stitched mask with red eyes.  You can choose a full-face or half-face mask that is similar depending on your comfort level.  Painwheel’s clothing mostly consists of a high-neck sleeveless dress with thigh slits on both sides and cuffs around her wrists, ankles, and throat.  You can take a pair of scissors to your preferred dress to cut it to length.  A large part of Painwheel’s transformation is the weapon attached to her back, which resembles a large shuriken or a pinwheel, part of her namesake.  To recreate this aspect, you can purchase a replica oversized shuriken and attach it to your back or take a pair of costume wings and paint them metallic silver.  Lastly, paint your nails and draw dark veins using an eyeliner pencil.  You can also replicate the nails that stick out of her body using wooden golf tees and liquid latex to hold them in place.

Parasoul Renoir (voiced by Rie Tanaka and Erin Fitzgerald) is one of the original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  The princess of the Renoir family, Parasoul is also Umbrella‘s older sister.  Parasoul has red hair with bangs that she sweeps over her right eye.  She wears a black outfit with a high neck, long sleeves, and a mini skirt.  She pairs her clothes with black flats and a silver necklace with the cross of St. Peter, the same worn by her mother.  For her weaponry, Parasoul favors a Luger pistol and the Living Weapon Krieg, which looks like a large, black umbrella.

In the 2D fighting game Skullgirls, Filia Medici is a schoolgirl who has a toothy parasite on her head named Samson. Her spiky tentacle hair, red eyes, and amnesiac condition are a result of Samson. Before Samson, she had blonde hair, and as a Skullgirl, her hair becomes bright purple.
