Characters you can cosplay
Let's get to the characters and their outfits now that you know the series. Violet Evergarden features a wonderful cast with fabulous clothing. Each character's outfit also gives us a little insight into their personality.
Violet Evergarden
Violet is our female lead. She is initially introduced as a war soldier who has been on the battlefield since her youth. She lacks feelings and a general social understanding of human society. Over the course of her story, she meets many people and learns about their problems. In the process, she learns the delicacy and importance of feelings.
After a certain incident, Violet's military service is abruptly terminated and she is left without a mission. With her newfound freedom and an unanswered question in her mind, Violet begins to work as an Auto Memory Doll. After initial difficulties, she masters this ability and becomes an extraordinary Auto Memory Doll.
She is a pretty young girl with sandy blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. Violet's outfit exudes elegance, innocence and purity. She wears a pretty cream striped ribbon dress with a blue jacket over it. This jacket has puffed sleeves and a collar with a belt that slopes forward. She also wears a white tie with the emerald brooch that the Major gave her attached to it. To cover her mechanical hands, she wears gloves that were a gift from someone.
In the film Violet Evergarden, Violet wears an elegant coat inspired by male and female clothing during a dance recital. The outfit consists of a white outer coat with long sleeves that are puffed at the top. The back of the coat is long and reaches down to Violet's ankles in ruffles. She also wears white high-waisted pants that end above the ankles and white coat shoes. Violet also changes her hairstyle, wearing her hair in a low, messy bun.
Gilbert Bougainvillea
Major Gilbert is one of the main recurring characters in the story. He was both Violet's mentor and her caregiver. He is a handsome man with dark blue hair and deep emerald green eyes. Since he is an officer, he is often dressed accordingly. Despite being one of the most powerful names in the military, Gilbert is different from others who hold a similar rank. He is shown to be a compassionate person who cares about life, whether it is on the battlefield or not. Despite this, Gilbert was forced into a war, which would later be the reason for his disappearance.
In the movie Violet Evergarden, Gilbert is shown in an outfit that resembles that of a farmer. He wears a white shirt and brown pants with suspenders. He also wears a black eye patch and a cap. Gilbert usually has a kind and gentle expression on his face.
Dietfried Bougainvillea
Dietfried is Gilbert's older brother and the one who found Violet first. He later gave Violet to his brother Gilbert. Dietfried himself, however, saw her as nothing more than a tool of war and told Gil to do the same. He blames Violet for the murder of his people and initially dislikes her in general because she needs orders to survive. But eventually he becomes friends with her and even stops calling her a tool.
Since Dietfired is a brother, he looks very similar to his younger brother, but the two also have their differences. Dietfired has a much more serious expression than his brother. He has long blue hair that is braided with a blue ribbon and held to the side. His eyes are also a similar color. Since he is a naval officer, he wears a white uniform. He is also seen wearing formal clothes when he is outside.
Charlotte Abelfreya Drossel
Charlotte is a young princess of the Kingdom of Drossel. She is a beautiful young girl with very long, wavy, strawberry-brown hair, pale, fair skin, and brown eyes. She is a determined princess who strives to become a worthy queen for her people. Although she initially finds it difficult to get along with Violet, she soon becomes friends with her.
Since she is a princess, Charlotte has many different dresses that show her as a young, delicate and beautiful princess. In addition to her long, ruffled dresses, she also wears a tiara in her hair. For her wedding, Charlotte wore a beautiful white dress embroidered with fine pearls and elegantly cut. Her hair was styled in a low bun and decorated with white pearls, her royal tiara placed at the front.
>Benedict Blue
Benedict is one of the CH postal workers and the first person Violet shows around her office as an Auto Memory Doll. He is a fashionable young man with light blond hair cut slightly at an angle in the front and long bangs on one side. He usually wears grey-brown trousers and a white shirt with the first few buttons unbuttoned.
He wears a black undershirt and shorts. His pants have a crisscross pattern on the front of his thighs. He also wears long, high-heeled boots. Benedick's eyes are a beautiful blue. He is one of the most popular characters in the fandom and would be an excellent choice for a Violet Evergarden cosplay.
Claudia Hodgins
Claudia used to be a colonel who served in the war. After the war, he founded the CH-Post and is now its CEO. Claudia has a somewhat unkempt appearance. He is a good-looking man with reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, slightly tanned skin and stubble. He wears a white, full-sleeved shirt with the sleeves partially rolled up over his arms.
He also wears a tan vest, maroon pants, and dark brown boots. His hair reaches to the nape of his neck and is tied in a messy ponytail, leaving his hair loose in the front. During his military service, his hair was cut short and his face was clean-shaven. He also wore the standard military uniform, consisting of a military jacket and pants, a white shirt, and a black tie.
Cattleya Baudelaire
Cattleya was introduced as the most popular Auto Memory Doll on the CH Post. She is very close friends with Claudia and joined the company as one of the very first employees. She is a beautiful, mature woman with long, straight black hair and enthusiastic purple eyes. She wears quite revealing clothes, with the red color being the main theme. She is very emotional and often deals with customers who have love problems.
Cattleya has an elegant figure, and her outfit also includes lipstick and gold earrings. She wears a red bustier-style dress with a grey interior, a choker, and a pendant. She also wears brown thigh-high boots. Her skin tone is different in the novel and the anime. In the novel, she has a fair complexion, while in the anime, she has a darker complexion. Nonetheless, both are beautiful character designs that are great for an Auto Memory Doll cosplay.
>Erica Brown
Erica is one of the Auto Memory Dolls who works in CH Post along with Violet and Iris. At first, she is a meek person who lacks confidence in her abilities. Erica has a petite figure. She has light brown hair that reaches just below her ears. Her eyebrows are thin and her eyes are a light hazel color. She wears round glasses and her hair covers her forehead with short bangs. Erica also has light freckles and a birthmark near her lip.
>Her outfit is a pretty dress that consists of a light olive shirt with a white collar and a ruffled dress over it. She also wears skin-colored lace-up boots and white socks with a red horizontal stripe on the ankle. White is shy at first, but eventually Erica becomes confident and is determined to become an even better memory doll.
Iris Cannary
Iris came to CH Post as an auto-memory doll with a lot of love for this job. She was the only girl chosen from her town and considered this job an honor and a respectful responsibility. Iris has short hair that reaches her ears. She is a fashionable girl and likes to wear a black sleeveless shirt with a lighter, grayish undershirt. She combines this top with white pants and high-heeled black shoes.
She also wears a brown belt around her shoulders that is connected to her pants, as well as some emerald and gold jewelry. She also wears a black bracelet on one of her arms. Her main feature, however, is her hair and her light brown skin.
>Leon Stephanotis
Leon is a young scholar and astrologer that Violet meets during one of her tasks as an auto-memory doll. Leon is proud and slightly arrogant at first, but he eventually opens up to Violet. He is a handsome young man with long black hair, blue eyes, and brown skin. He dresses like the other scholars, with an olive-gray turtleneck as an undershirt. As a young boy, Leon wore a white shirt and brown pants with suspenders. His hair was short back then.
