About this deal
For her own take on Ekko's white twists, Charlotte twisted her own short hair and dyed it a gray hue instead. Vivienne is inspiringly resourceful: She created the foliage on her costume by adhering leaves to removable bra pads and then sewing them onto this glittery, green, bodycon jumpsuit. Her makeup was on the minimalist side but those fluffy lashes and coffin-shaped, C-curve French manicure definitely caught my attention. Friends Jan-Dell, Charlotte, and D'Mari got ready for NYCC together, hyping each other up as they made all the necessary alterations to their costumes.
Unfortunately, even when we create spaces for ourselves it doesn't stop the racism that comes from other members of many fandoms.This year, I was back at New York Comic Con, where I got to speak with some of the Black cosplayers also in attendance.

So I set off to find specific character pose packs – Light, Misa, L, Ryuk, the usuals – but, sadly, no dice.
Rios told Vice that in the over 10 years she has been cosplaying, she'll frequently receive racist comments, "Like, 'Oh, that character isn't Black,' and other people would say, 'You look weird, you look like an alien. Tracy told me she's been cosplaying for about five years, and she chose Toga simply because she loves My Hero Academia. Despite the kaleidoscope of colors on her face, the purple, green, blue, and red hues managed to still fit cohesively together.Download links for Light’s skin overlay, hair, eyebrows, and school uniform are listed in the description. Despite the last official episode airing more than a decade ago (June of 2007, according to the Wiki page), Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s Death Note series has yet to sink into obscurity. Besides the satisfaction of creating your own costume, it also helps ensure that you won't end up looking exactly like someone else. Black cosplayers can face accusations of cultural appropriation and "sexualization" of characters, as was the case for Mia Rios in 2021, after she dressed up as Asuka Langley Soryu from the anime Evangelion.
