Benny

Face-up artist(s):

Iplehouse

Date of acquisition:

2014

Provenance:

First owner, purchased directly through iplehouse

Reason for choice:

I absolutely love Iplehouse's quality, and fell in love instantly with Benny. She has a lil' smile, and she was one of the first Dolls of Color I had seen executed really well. I liked how realskin made her look of mixed descent, which was my character intention.

Best Points:

Gah, pretty much everything about her face. The resin has a really distinct texture and a really pleasant weight

Worst Points:

Iplehouse bodies all have a similar posing issue. She does what I want her to...after some fussing. I do like her slouch joint though.

43cm, 12mm Eyes, 7/8" Wig,

Eyes:

12mm random eyes that came with the doll

Wig:

currently sporting a 7/8 angora wig I got in a trade

Favourite colours:

Pink, black, white, grey, dark green

Fashion style(s):

Very very casual and laid back. She's a college student, so her clothes reflect that. Sometimes she looks super well put-together and other times she looks like she just rolled out of bed.

Key fashion accessory:

Something long-sleeved and a bush of hair

Name story:

Her sculpt name just stuck

Character age:

21

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Benny is a senior at UMD (University of Mariella Duboix). Having recently completed the requirements for her degree (Enviro Sci), she is taking ALL of the upper level Spanish classes she can (to the dismay of the language department). She works as a student worker at the cafeteria located in the UMD Union part-time, and volunteers as a student mentor through her university’s Multicultural Center. She worked with Rissa in the cafeteria, and with Leja as her mentor. Benny is the entire reason that the girls even know that Filly and Rayne even exist. Once introduced to Kat, she immediately felt a strong kinship with her. She's now very protective of the shadow elemental.
