Bergamot

Face-up artist(s):

Default

Date of acquisition:

April 27, 2016

Provenance:

Bought directly from Mirodoll

Reason for choice:

Inexpensive, nice promo pictures

Best Points:

Really cute face sculpt and body! I love her smile. Overall she feels better made than I had expected.

Worst Points:

Too tightly strung, mediocre posing. Hot glue suedeing helped a lot with the second issue.

The weird hand joints (well, there AREN'T hand joints, just a hand piece) are frustrating because she cant move her hands up/down, only rotate them awkwardly. I love how cute the hands themselves are, but the overall mediocre posing along with the hands mean I'm planning to move her to a different body eventually.

Eyes:

Defaut from company (light green)

Wig:

Luts Brown 7/8

Favourite colours:

Brown, cream

Fashion style(s):

Mori, casual

Name story:

Her head is called Lili, so I decided to name her after a different plant. I pulled up a list of them and picked Bergamot because it's unusual and sounds nice. The rest of her plant-themed character grew (heh) from there.

Character age:

Early twenties

Character gender:

Nonbinary girl

Offsite roleplay:

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

Bergamot is a witch born with a connection to plant life. She can communicate with them nonverbally, on what most people would call an "emotional" level if they weren't, well, plants. Bergamot herself doesn't claim they have emotions; she would tell anyone who asked that they're not like people or animals, but that they aren't what people think they are either, and then wouldn't be able to clarify herself any further.

She tries her best to be a kind person, but has a sharp, cold side as well that usually comes out when she least wants it to. She gets really upset with herself when she finds herself being crueler than she wants to be. Often, she'll go to her gardens or out into the woods she's made her home in and just spend time with the plants there to calm down and feel like herself again. She doesn't like the person she becomes when she's angry.

Bergamot lives in a small cottage in a forest, surrounded by gardens, and lives off the food she grows and the potions and small spells she sometimes peddles to the people of nearby towns. It's a private and peaceful life, for the most part, and she's happy with it.
