Darby

Face-up artist(s):

honooko

Body blushing artist(s):

honooko

Date of acquisition:

March 2009

Provenance:

eBay, from China

Reason for choice:

I fell in love with Eleanor's sweet, dreamy face. Her body is also quite beautiful!

Best Points:

Eleanor is an imperfect sculpt; her eyes are not completely matched, mine has a slightly shorter left leg that requires her to pop out a hip when she stands... but I find these tiny defects really, really endearing. She's not perfect, which makes her feel more real somehow. Her body is also actually really beautiful, and her hands are gorgeous.

Worst Points:

Honestly, my biggest complaint is that she didn't come with high-heeled feet.

Eyes:

14mm Heterochormia; purple right eye, brown left eye.

Fashion style(s):

Constantly changing, but colors! Her eyebrows are over-plucked, but she hates how they look filled in.

Key fashion accessory:

Nose stud, and recently three studs in her left ear and one in her right.

Eleanor's original promo images had her with neutral tones and a sad expression. I wanted Darby to be a little bit more fierce, but she's still got a softness to her. I also wanted a very freckled doll, so I experimented with full-body freckles and they turned out really nice (in my opinion!) I wasn't very good at face ups when I got her, but I've improved because of working on her, and I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made. I'm not good yet, but she looks cute anyway!

Name story:

I just really like the name. XD

Character age:

Mid 20's

Character gender:

Woman

Offsite roleplay:

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

Darby is a dreamer, quiet and lost in thought. A bit shy, she compensates by wearing bright or flashy clothing, nose stud, and changing her hair often. She gets along with everyone, but isn't very close to anyone. She loves birds.
