[Cissia Cosplay] The Mischievous Pudding Thief in Zenless Zone Zero

\"Sorry for eating your egg pudding!\"—this phrase truly captures Cissia's mischievous yet adorable charm. To recreate this temperament, meticulous preparations were made for everything from hair and Cosplay makeup to outfit coordination.

Starting with the wig: since blonde hair can easily look artificial, I specifically chose matte high-temperature silk, which gives the strands weight without harsh glare. That signature ahoge on top of the head was remarkably difficult to style, taking several cans of hairspray to keep it standing firmly. Black bows on both sides along with white fluffy pom-pom hair accessories added rich layering under the lighting. Sectioning the hairstyle took quite a while, fitting the thick bangs and sideburns close to facial contours so my face looked smaller in selfies and posed shots.

Next is outfit layering, featuring vibrant color combinations. The inner top is a bright pink halter neck piece styled like a modified polo shirt, accented with small white buttons. A green-and-white polka dot bowtie at the chest adds a pop-color contrast that brings energy to this Anime-style fashion. The black corset skirt outside is key; for better structure and shaping, I opted for synthetic leather with firmness and thickness rather than flimsy fabric. Tightening the crisscross lacing on both sides clearly cinches the waistline, while central silver rivets and metal buckles prevent the dark area from looking dull. Below is a black ruffled pleated skirt, where leather fabric creates subtle reflections and rich light dynamics during movement or posing. The white ruffled sleeves on the arms are eye-catching, cinched at the forearms with black letter-printed cuffs, perfectly blending athletic flair with playful charm.

For Cosplay makeup, to match character traits, I used reddish-pink eyeshadow as the primary shade with deepened blending at the outer corners, paired with matching contact lenses to make my eyes look vivid and energetic. Base makeup was kept light; considering indoor lights often wash out cosmetics, highlighters were used subtly on cheekbones, nose bridge, and tip to enhance facial dimension. Lip color echoed the top, finished with glass lip gloss for a translucent, dewy feel. The overall makeup looked bright and clean, preserving natural features while conveying energetic Anime-style fashion vibes.

For posing, I picked two representative stances. The first features a peace sign with a slightly open mouth, giving a mischievous smile as if a prank succeeded, with hands extended for visual projection. The second switches to a squinting smile with a peace sign against the cheek, showing sweet confidence and displaying character versatility. During Roleplay shoots requiring natural expressions, overcoming habitual stiffness is hardest; trying multiple angles or adjusting camera positions helps find the most natural expression. Shot in an indoor bedroom using top lighting combined with diffuse window light created soft illumination, accentuating leather skirt reflections and fluffy pom-poms. Overall, this set turned out well, capturing Cissia's lighthearted and cheerful atmosphere, and I hope this styling lets everyone appreciate her charm once more.
