I combed it out so the curls weren’t so uniform but that was it for styling. The wig was a simple curly green one from Amazon. It just goes on top of my wig and is hidden by the hood. I took them off of their original tiny headband, painted them, added felt for the bandages, and glued them onto a wider headband for added stability. The ears were some bad looking foam elf ears from Amazon.

I believe Nott’s hood is one big piece of fabric that wraps around her head, but I think this is so much easier to put on and I like the effect it gives of gathering around my neck. It’s basically a tube that goes over my head with two holes for the ears. It’s hidden by the hood, which is a separate piece. I connected a piece of the same fabric I used for the jacket to drape across my chest that velcros to the shoulder on the opposite side. The back of it was made much shorter so that the long parts in the front sort of hung like a scarf and I elongated the sleeves so that I could pull them up when I wear it to give it more texture since the fabric sort of bunched up on my arms. Nott’s draped cloak and sleeves were made from scratch based on a cardigan I own. This was made from a heather jersey fabric that’s really light and I love the way it drapes. The jumpsuit was made using a Simplicity pattern, I altered it to have a different back, a waist that didn’t tie, and elastic on the ankles. I bought a plain white masquerade mask from Michaels, cut it in half jaggedly like broken porcelain, then painted it with acrylic paint and pastels to give it a grimy look.

The first thing I did was the mask because I felt like that was a very important part of the character. Samantha submitted a cosplay tutorial for their Nott the Brave from Critical Role that shows off how to make everything, from armsocks in the right green skin tone to creating Nott’s porcelain mask (hint, it’s not actual porcelain, but something super easy to work with)!
