The provided text appears to be a transcript of a YouTube video where the host, Ripley, undergoes a DNA test to determine her genetic makeup. The results reveal her to be primarily of Irish, Scottish, and English descent, with smaller percentages of German, Welsh, and North Western European ancestry. The host expresses disappointment that her results did not include any Russian DNA, despite having been asked about it frequently.
Ripley then reveals that she has used the results of her DNA test to inform a Halloween costume, where she transforms herself into a "hairy fairy fish" or "merman". She uses various prosthetics and makeup to achieve this look, including a nose, forehead piece, chimp prosthetic, and gills made of latex. She also uses a jawbreaker pallet to add color to her eyes and licorice to brighten up and blend into the rest of the prosthetic.
The host also discusses various folklore creatures from Irish and British folklore, including the Lady of Death from Irish folklore and the Man of Southend from British folklore. She uses these creatures as inspiration for her Halloween costume.

In summary, Ripley uses the results of her DNA test to inform her Halloween costume, transforming herself into a "hairy fairy fish" or "merman". She uses various prosthetics and makeup to achieve this look, and takes inspiration from Irish and British folklore creatures.
