EpicCosplay Wigs: Theia in Classic White and Apple Red Mix for genderbent Shouto Todoroki cosplay

THEIA – CLASSIC WHITE
THEIA – APPLE RED MIX

This genderbent Shouto Todoroki cosplay gives the Icy Hot hero-in-training a cool feminine style. My Hero Academia fans know Todoroki as a reserved yet extremely capable U.A. High School student with a tragic backstory. With his quirk, Todoroki commands ice with one side and fire with the other – visually corresponding to his unique hair colors.

Designing a genderbent cosplay leaves so much freedom for creativity. But, it’s also important to make sure iconic details don’t get lost along the way. Featured cosplayer Chloe did a fantastic job in both areas! This genderbent Shouto Todoroki cosplay is fresh but immediately recognizable. Of course, the hair is a great example. Chloe used a longer and more elegant style, yet kept Todoroki’s trademark two-tone color.

Wig is actually two of the Theia, one in Classic White and one in Candy Apple Red, cut down the middle and spliced together. I made the whole costume myself except the shoes!

As Chloe mentioned above, this distinctive look is the result of splicing together two Theia wigs from Epic Cosplay. Theia is a straight medium-length wig that measures to about 20” with bangs pre-cut to 7”. It’s a very manageable and versatile style. Moreover, it’s durable enough for major modifications like the splicing technique used here.
