Hey ^^
I’m planning to go to an Expo with friends – it’ll be my first one. Only problem is I have no idea who to go as! >.<
I'm fairly tall, slim teen, who's quite tan but not drastically so, with chest length light-gold blonde hair and brown eyes.
I'd prefer to go as a character from an anime/manga I know, but I'm happy to watch an anime (so long as it's good!) if I could cosplay as the character. I'd also like an outfit which isn't too crazy as it's my first expo but I am pretty creative & good at sewing. Oh, and as a last teeny thing I'd rather not wear a wig, so a blonde character please! <3
Just so you know, I've watched Bleach, Vampire Knight, Lucky Star, a little Hetalia, Death Note and read the first 7 or so mangas of Chobits. My friend already got dibs on Misa Amane (damn! xD) so not her :L x
Thank you!
(And just so you know, for our second Expo we're planning to go as a group cosplay as the Mario Princesses. I'm Rosalina :3 <3)



You could go as Miyo Takano from Higurashi. If you watch both seasons of it then I’m sure you’ll find the character agreeable in most terms. Her eyes are more gold in color, but your brown eyes would look fine and not be notable in difference. It would be an amazing touch if you could get down the customary Hinamizawa laugh as well. Trust me, it’s a lot easier than you think. I have Shion’s down to an art.
Ceres Victoria in Hellsing is also another good option for blonde hair. (though in one version she is pictured with red hair instead of blonde) Still, what’s cooler than a zombie-slaying vampires? Intrgra Hellsing also has fair blonde hair, but she is very confustable for a male in the series. Anyone who knows the anime/manga would know you were cosplaying a female, but anyone else might assume it was a male character.
If you have long hair then you could cosplay as Shinku from Rozen Maiden. She is the main character associated with the series, and she looks beautiful. You could also go as HinaIchigo, but it might look strange since you claimed being tall. Both make simpler cosplay characters though. Just remember to make your own costume if you go as either of them since buying one of these is painfully expensive.
Rin Kagamine from Vocaloids. First of all, Vocaloids is not an anime. It’s a bunch of songs on youtube created by the Vocaloids group. (the characters are robots) If you have considerably longer hair then you could go as the older version of her seen on zerochan.net and in some of their various songs. And for the cosplay you could go in her natural uniform or in a costume she is seen in during your favorite vocaloid song.
Anarchy Panty. The anime is called Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. You’ll have to search for it on the web since it’s not on youtube as far as I know. And be warned that they swear like sailors, but it’s like the adult version of the power-puff girls. Anyways, Panty is the blonde and is an easy cosplay. For more effort you could go as her angel version. And don’t forget her heaven gun if you do go as her! It’s a vital piece for either cosplay and can be acheived with a clear water gun.
In Shugo Chara there is a girl who has long blonde hair (looks like Shinku from Rozen Maiden) that has several easier outfits to make. Sorry, I haven’t watched this anime yet and don’t know her name.
You could go as the blonde lady who is on Hitsugaya’s team. That costume wouldn’t be too difficult to put together. The only problem would be getting such urealistic boobs. A second bra perhaps? Or a super padded one… Sorry, I don’t know her name since I don’t watch Bleach.
Though it’s technically not an anime, some people classify it as such. You could go as Lagoona Blue from Monster High. Her staples for clothing aren’t hard to find in local stores, and you could easily clip in blue extensions or get temporary hair dye to put in the extensions.
Good luck with your cosplay. And sorry for not having any animes you’ve already seen.
You’ve watched a lot of garbage anime(except for maybe Lucky Star). Try Saber/Arturia from Fate/Zero or Fate/Stay Night. If you’re tall with blonde hair I’m sure you could pull off a good looking woman in either her casual clothing, suit or armor
Temari from Naruto.
Wear a wig and go as Soi Fon from Bleach.
Rangiku from Bleach.
The Hokage from Naruto!
Or kill your friend and go as Misa >:3
