Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Maru's Rikku!

Maru is a girl after my own heart as she continues her quest to cosplaying all the Final Fantasy waifus. Today, that focus is on the high energy thief Rikku from Final Fantasy X/X-2. Though the outfit in question is from the sequel so I'll mostly be referring to that game for the rest of this writeup. I've shared this outfit many times on this blog and I can absolutely see why it's so popular. There's of course the multitude of colors being present, in addition to minimal clothing. The latter part must help with the comfiness which I feel is a key part for cosplayers. Especially considering they have to walk around in said cosplay for hours on end at a convention. For starters, Maru has Rikku's crazy hair style down pat. Full blown blonde with a variety of beads and braids in certain sections. She also has a large blue bandanna covering a good chunk of it.

After that, you can see a scarf wrapped around Maru's neck. Gradient dye was probably used to achieve that color transition from orange to yellow. A super cute bikini top (with a matching second part) is next in a yellow/orange shade with an orange trim around it. On her arms, you can see white coverings with a whole lot of fabric/ruffles hanging off of them. Brown gloves end this section. Army green colored booty shorts make up the pants area and even more crazy stuff happens with the yellow belt.

Actually it's not as crazy as some of the shots make it out to be. Maru has a few yellow pouches attached to the belt with orange string sticking out of them. One huge part to the cosplay are Rikku's signature daggers. Twin in size and design, they are colored to match up her overall design. Red blade with a yellow/gold inner circle. The handle looks to be straight black too! Many of the braids/beads in Maru's wig for Rikku is seen at the front of it.


The photos here do a fabulous job showing off the cosplay and I really love how adorable Maru looks in it. It no doubt was perfect for the lewd set she did for Patreon! Check out the other pics I found! :D
