Help finding video game costumes for my little sister and I?

[Palaven]

Anyone want to help me figure out a cosplay for my sister and I? We're 9 years apart and both love going to conventions together.

We'd like them to be video game related and we're having a heck of a time figuring it out. The closest thing I got was Chelinka from FF:CC for my sister, but I couldn't figure out a character for myself.

She's a few days away from 12. 5'2", very tall for her age and crazy slim. She's okay with characters without glasses. She has a very happy, energetic personality, so we want a costume that can reflect that. She wants to be able to run and be silly in said costume, so it has to be something she can move around in easily.

I'm 5'3" but I always wear heels. I have a 34DD bust which makes selecting costumes very fun. My measurements are 38-27-36. I adore wigs. Right now I'm on a diet, so I'm lost weight since these photos. My goal weight is 120lbs, so I will be quite slim by the time the con rolls around.

Pics of me: [1], [2] (on left), [3] (If you're wondering, I'm wearing sportbras in both pics)
Pics of her/us: [1] (She's on right), [2], [3](She's on left)

Her requirements are:
- "Princessy"" or someone with a skirts or dress. Nothing shorter than mid-thigh.
- Recognizable (but not overdone please)
- Simple enough outfit. I can handle anything around intermediate level sewing.
- She prefers not to wear wigs, but she's okay with short-medium length wigs if they're not styled crazy.
- She's okay with showing arms and legs, but keep in mind she's 12. No cleavage or abs showing please thanks.
- She would like characters who wear flat shoes and boots, or could have very low heels.

My requirements are:
- Heels or tall shoes/boots, or something I could wear heels with.
- I'm perfectly fine with showing my chest, arms, legs, etc. I'm a bit iffy on showing my stomach.
- Simple enough outfit. I can handle anything around intermediate level sewing.
- Please, no Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts.

Thanks so much in advance! Even if your idea doesn't fit into what we'd like, just let me know anyway! We can totally change our minds. dramallama

Claire and Sherry from RE2! 8D

I'll probably think of more over time, but hearing "video game" "two girls" "age difference" made me flailspaz and actually shout that out loud (and scare my cat!).

My sister thinks Sherry looks really cute, haha. I play RE game all the time so I don't know how that didn't come to mind, thank you!

Uh... I'm hoping that's a good thing? Is it a bad thing?

It's a good thing! xD And yay!

I think you two will work really well as them. c: Sherry's roughly the same age as your sister, and her costume is definitely in the appropriate coverage range. She's not super happy, but given the circumstances she's surprisingly cheerful. And Claire seems well within your sewing abilities, and also fits your coverage criteria. Only difficult part might be the design on the back of the vest, but you might be able to buy an iron-on pattern of it. ^^

I've actually had a friend paint her own vest for her Claire costume, so I could def get some pointers from her. Thanks, they are a great suggestion! My sister is still iffy though, so we'll still be looking around, but I'll def be keeping it in mind.

Presea and Alicia Combatir from Tales of Symphonia.

Lyra and Crystal from the Johto Pokemon games.

Ocarina Links? Or Twilit(Skyward?) Link and Toon Link!

Genderbent Mario and Luigi, even!

It kinda depends on how much you want to play up your differences, or highlight your similarities. Whatever way you go though, I wish both of you the best of luck! I cosplay with my sisters all the time (though they're only two years younger) and we have a real blast, so I am a huge supporter of sister cosplay. Here's hoping you two have just as much fun!
