[Prune cosplay] Genshin Impact Hexenzirkel Little Witch Costume Details Breakdown

This Genshin Impact Prune cosplay focuses on her core setting as a Little Witch of the Hexenzirkel. The blue twin tails are instantly recognizable; I chose a vibrant blue, highly breathable wig, taking plenty of time to trim the straight blunt bangs and sideburns. Because bright wig shades can easily make the complexion look dull, I intentionally prepped a pink-toned fair base makeup, pairing it with purple colored contacts and purplish-red eyeshadow to give her gaze a more mysterious aura. For the lips, I applied a peachy glazed lip tint to add a touch of youthful charm. The head accessories—a purple sheer ribbon, silver screw nuts, and bone-shaped hair clips—were cast from molds, then hand-sanded and painted, creating a metallic texture that pops gorgeously under lighting.

The main outfit consists of black leather accented with straps, featuring geometric cut-outs around the neckline. Three-dimensional grey props with cross-shaped holes are secured across the chest and shoulders; these were 3D-printed, meticulously sanded, and spray-painted. They have a balanced weight that doesn't put too much strain on the shoulders when worn. The cross-body purple webbing printed with white diamond patterns provides a striking contrast against the predominantly black color scheme. Around the neck, a black leather choker with a silver rivet adds the finishing touch, with these subtle details capturing the Hexenzirkel member's cool, edgy, yet slightly playful temperament.

During the shoot, we set up a key light combined with a side rim light to accentuate the wig's hair texture and give the metallic props more three-dimensional reflections. Making the catchlights in the eyes clear and bright kept the purple contacts from looking flat or dull. Given the high contrast between the blue hair and black clothing, post-processing only involved minor adjustments to white balance and skin tone to preserve the original textures. Whenever cosplaying a character with numerous metal accessories and leather materials, preparation and dressing take a lot of time—punching belt holes and fastening metal buckles require constant tweaks—but seeing how true to character the final shots turned out made it deeply rewarding.
