Apple

Face-up artist(s):

Pipos

Date of acquisition:

Ordered June 2015, received September 2015.

Provenance:

I'm her original owner; I ordered her directly from Pipos.

Reason for choice:

As soon as Pipos rolled out the Mini Cheese Mouse, I wanted one to be Iris's little sister, and when they did the 2014 Rainbow series, I knew it was time to get one.

Best Points:

She's super adorable. I also like the optional sitting and standing legs. Head-wise, she has the same style of head as the regular cheese mouse, which is always very nice and easy to change the eyes of.

Worst Points:

She doesn't have much in the way of jointing. I don't really mind her lack of knee or ankle joints, but the lack of elbow joints is kind of frustrating, since that's the easiest thing to pose usually. She also doesn't balance very well, regardless of what legs she's wearing. I generally have to prop her up.

Eyes:

10mm Rainbow urethane eyes from Dollbakery

Favourite colours:

Red, Pink, and White

Fashion style(s):

This depends. She's a baby, so she wears whatever other people think looks cute on her. Usually this involves lacy dresses, denim jumpers, and cute cotton dresses.

Key fashion accessory:

Her toy unicorn

Name story:

Well, I originally came up with her character when the first Mini Cheese Mice came out in Berry, Choux, and Cream. At the time, I didn't think they'd ever release one in purple, so I was planning on getting a berry-colored one and naming her Apple, because she would've been reddish-pink. However, Pipos DID release the Mini Cheese Mouse in purple, but by that time the character was cemented in my mind as Apple, so even though it doesn't match her skintone anymore, she is and will always be Apple.

Character age:

She's a baby/toddler by mouse standards. She's very, very young.

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Apple is very much an inquisitive toddler. She loves following her big sister around, even though she's completely oblivious to how dangerous that can be. Her favorite things are tart Granny Smith apples, bugs (especially beetles), unicorns, and really high places. She has the odd ability to seemingly befriend most of her natural predators, and thus runs around relatively fearless. Both Iris and Hannah worry that she's gonna get eaten by an owl or a snake someday.

Will clean these up once I find a new place to host them. :/
