Carbon Costume

Lili Ryu (voiced by Aya Susaki) is a werewolf and one of the main character in the anime Journal of the Mysterious Creatures.  Lili is the new roommate of Yoshihito, a 23-year-old man without a girlfriend or job.  As Lili is viewing the house, she is attacked by the vampire Vivian.  Lili’s outfit shows off her affinity for dogs, and can be super fun for a dog lover to put together.  If you cannot find a crop top that suits her outfit, you can always purchase a normal t-shirt and then cut it to the exact length you want.

In the YouTube series Hazbin Hotel, Husk (voiced by Mick Lauer) is a pansexual cat demon with a casino card theme.  Husk is perpetually grumpy, a bit of an alcoholic, as well as a proficient gambler.  Husk is friends with Charlie and Niffty, who he works with at the Happy Hotel.  To create a Husk costume, you’ll first want to find a cat costume that you like and then add details do it.  You can upgrade a simple cat onesie by tying or gluing red feathers to the end of the tail, as well as onto the eyebrows on the hood or on a separate mask if you’d prefer to cover your entire face.

Yorkie (MacKenzie Davis) and Kelly Booth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) are the protagonists of “San Junipero,” an episode of the British sci-fi anthology, Black Mirror. The episode has been critically acclaimed and has won two Emmy awards. Set in the beach resort town of San Junipero, the plot centers around Yorkie and Kelly’s love story throughout the decades. Its twist reveals an elderly Yorkie on her deathbed, for the town is part of nostalgia therapy that involves simulated reality. When Kelly dies, she chooses to join Yorkie in San Junipero so they can be eternally happily together. This would make a great couples costume for fans of the show. For Kelly’s look, use hot glue or E6000 to adhere the rhinestones on the collar and all around the purple fringe jacket. Then attach the rhinestone patches to each shoulder. You can get a better look of her jacket here.

Maggie and the Ferocious Beast is a long-running children’s show in Nick Jr. (in the United States, it has other homes in other countries). Maggie (voiced by Kirsten Stone) is an imaginative and adventurous little girl. She lives in Nowhere Land with her friend, the tame Ferocious Beast. Thy explore their world and make lots of friends along the way.

Cosplaying as Maggie is very easy! You start with a pith helmet and some red ribbon to make it look just like Maggie’s. Add a curly orange wig under that and you’ve got most of her most notable costume pieces all set! After that all you need is a yellow t-shirt, denim dress, yellow socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. There are, unfortunately, no Ferocious Beast plush toys as they’re super rare. But if you have a little time and some sewing skills, you can certainly make an adventure buddy of your own!

Ronalda “Ronnie” Anne Santiago (voiced by Breanna Yde and later Izabella Alvarez) is one of the main characters in The Casagandes and was originally a supporting character on The Loud House. She is tough as nails. Most of the time. She does have a soft spot for her friends though and doesn’t handle it well when others are mean to her.

Although Ronnie is a tried-and-true tomboy she seems to love the color purple. A lavender hair tie and lavender socks go well with black cuffed shorts and purple slip-on shoes. A purple zip-up hoody completes the look of this fun-loving prankster!

In the anime series Hunter x Hunter, Kurapika (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro and Erika Harlacher in the 2011 series) is the lone survivor of the Kurta clan and a Blacklist Hunter.  While Kurapika’s blue and yellow outfit is easily found pre-made, there are several options available from both the 1999 and 2011 series, depending on how creative and crafty you want to be.

Karen Paige (played by Deborah Ann Woll in both Daredevil and The Punisher) is a secretary-turned-sleuth that works with Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson. After nearly being convicted of a murder she didn’t commit she goes to work with the two men and ends up embroiled in a whole new Battle for New York that lands her in the direct path of the most dangerous people in the city. Not least of which are Daredevil and The Punisher. Smart and determined, though, Karen makes it through and does her best to keep her friends alive and together in the process.

Although Karen often ends up in dangerous situations she dresses professionally. She wears her long blonde wig down and prefers blouses with pencil skirts and stilettos. Though she usually wears little to no makeup she will dress up as the occasion calls for. And of course she is never without paper, pen, and her phone so she can keep track of the news and clues that come her way.

Melvin Sneedly (voiced by Jorge Diaz in the TV show and by Jordan Peele in the movie) is the central antagonist of the Captain Underpants series.  Melvin is incredibly smart, but is also a tattletale, which often puts him at odds with his fellow classmates, including Harold Hutchins.  There is some variation in Melvin’s costume, depending on which version you choose, but he always wears oversized glasses and a bow tie.
