Aiden

Face-up artist(s):

Volks, Rosslyn

Body blushing artist(s):

Rosslyn

Date of acquisition:

2012

Provenance:

I got his head in a Split with CathyM here on DoA. I bought his body from Granado back when they had first started up.

Reason for choice:

I've always adored this sculpt. A whole Volks doll was outside my range though, and they weren't releasing him on an SD-17 body. I didn't like the Gou body, but I did so love Yukinojo, so I got the head and put it on the Granado body.

Best Points:

Dang, that face.

Worst Points:

I do wish his shoulders didn't stick out so far from his body but in clothing it doesn't show as much.

(Story: The Court of Dun Elisedd) Aiden is a Volks Yukinojo hybrid on an old Granado 64cm body. He's a character from my medieval fantasy story with most of my other SDs.

Eyes:

Volks glass

Wig:

Secondhand from DoA, no idea what it is

Favourite colours:

Green and brown.

Fashion style(s):

Medieval fantasy huntsman.

Key fashion accessory:

His little golden leaf pendant, a gift from his sister.

He's a forester- a royally appointed woodsman and hunter- so he wears woodland colors, to blend better amid the trees. His clothes are clearly of expensive original make, but have seen better days.

Name story:

Aiden Forrester was formerly Aiden Colric, til he got disowned.

Character age:

mid 20s

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

He adored his younger sister, and tried to protect her from the machinations of their ambitious Baron father. Aiden is angry with himself because he couldn't keep his sister from being sold into a marriage to a dangerous and distant foreigner, just to gain their father some power and money.

Aiden has a twin brother, who sided with their father Baron Colric in every argument, and is therefore their father's heir. Aiden betrayed his family to the royal forces during the Winter War against the Crown which his father started, and has thus been declared to be disowned utterly. Now he lives at Dun Elisedd, no longer a noble but a lowly huntsman.

He was married once, but his young wife and he didn't know each other very well when they wed. They were off to a promising start on a sort of relationship, when she and their first baby died in childbirth. She was only 19, he was 23. Aiden has not sought love or marriage for a long while. Now that he wanders in the forest so often, he has attracted the attentions of the capricious fae Lady Siofra...
