Renfri from Netflix’s The Witcher
In Netflix’s The Witcher series, Renfri (played by Emma Appleton) was born a princess and swore vengeance against Stregobor for his role in her attempted assassination. Stregobor believed Renfri to be a monster because she was born during an eclipse. When Geralt meets Renfri, she is already resolute in her vengeful plan. She dresses to kill Stregobor in a loose-fitting shirt, leather armor, as well as her sword and dagger.
Jaskier from Netflix’s The Witcher
Jaskier (known as Dandelion in the video games and played by Joey Batey) is a bard and friend of Geralt of Rivia on Netflix’s show The Witcher. Jaskier is not only responsible for singing of Geralt’s deeds and penning “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” but he also injects some much needed levity into the story of Geralt. Jaskier can often be found wearing brightly colored and elaborately patterned clothing, and he is never without his trusty lute to help him compose his ballads. However, as fans of the video games may notice, he is without his trademark hat in the Netflix series.
Willa from Willa’s Wild Life
Willa’s Wild Life is a French-Canadian that follows the exploits of Willa (voiced by Jordan Todosey), a little girl with a sweet nature and a love of exotic animals. Her parents might not like that she has such a wild menagerie but that’s okay with Willa. She loves her animals and the adventures they get into together.
Cosplaying as Willa is as easy as a green shirt, green socks, green headband, and a red jumper dress. Add in some black Mary Jane flats and you’re good to go! You can take the cosplay even further by adding in a stuffed camel or crocodile so you’ve got your own wild wonderful friend to have on your adventure.

Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z
The Dragon Ball franchise is epic and sprawling. Timelines criss cross and interweave among different movies and shows and written formats. And from that tightly woven web comes Future Trunks. With an entirely different life and experience set from the original Trunks, he is a unique character with a wildly different approach to things that his counterpart.
Most of Future Trunks’ costume is very straight forward. Loose black pants tucked into yellow boots and held up with a blue belt. A black tank top beneath a padded blue vest. And lilac hair that you may have to style a little to get just right. But there are a few elements, such as the yellow bunching on his belt or the silver toe tips on his shoes, that you might have to DIY. they’re small touches that can really make your cosplay pop, but the costume looks great without them too!
Joe Exotic from Tiger King
Joe ‘Exotic’ Schreibvogel is a self-described “gay, gun-carrying redneck with a mullet”. The docuseries about his zoo aired on March 20th, 2020 and has since exploded with bizarre fandom.

Musa Kamara is a second year Engineering student at Kansei University. He is an international student being sponsored from Tanzania. Musa joins the track team created by Haiji, and trains along side the rest of the team on their journey. His kind personality is a soft spot in the team.

Rei Hino from Sailor Moon
Rei Hino also known as Sailor Mars is voiced most frequently in the original Japanese anime by Michie Tomizawa, and in the English dub by Cristina Valenzuela. Rei is constantly having petty fights with Usagi. She is hot-headed but thoughtful in her choices. Not to mention she has great fashion taste! For make up I suggest doing a very basic winged liner. rub a bit of highlighter jelly together on your fingers and dab it across your cheekbones for a sparkly blush look.

Kikyō from InuYasha
Born in Japan during the Feudal Era, Kikyō was the priestess and shrine guardian of her village in the anime InuYasha. She sacrificed her life to keep the Shikon Jewel out of the mortal realm but it was later revived by her reincarnation Kagome Higurashi. Kikyō was voiced by Noriko Hidaka in the original Japanese Anime and by Canadian voice actress Willow Johnson in the English dub. This costume is very low maintenance and most of the work will be in styling the wig.
