You can cosplay whoever you want no matter what you look like. The important thing is that you have fun.
Let me give some background before anything else:
I am an old (nearly 40) dark skinned, larger than average cosplayer. My main League cosplays have been Pentakill Yorick, Debonair Jayce and Gragas Esq.
I have been called, by members of this community, on social media and on Reddit, all sorts of names and given all sorts of insults. I've received lines like "way too overfed" and told I should "stick to Lucian" and that I'm "too dark to play Jayce." You name it, I've been called it.
Does it bother me? Sometimes. But then I remember that most of the people I cosplay League of Legends champs with are perfectly awesome to be around, and the vast, vast majority are really cool with people cosplaying what and who they want, regardless of skin color, size, shape or gender. (Plenty of awesome genderbend cosplays floating around). This extends to every person working at Riot Games. I've never heard one say anything bad to my face about my costumes.
This is how it should be, but humanity has not learned how to be awesome like that.
Now, as far as who you should cosplay as, the better question is who do you want to cosplay as? Just remember that every cosplayer gets hate from complete strangers who don't have the courage to do what you're doing, which is being awesome.
And every
I'm just nervous since a lot of people insult me in general for being a girl who likes anime and games. I'd just hate to embarrass myself trying to have fun and stand out.
Well, i guess i should be starting soon and enjoying it !
