Darche

Face-up artist(s):

Resin Junky

Body blushing artist(s):

none

Modifications artist(s):

Gothic Angel BJD

Tattoo artist(s):

none

Date of acquisition:

May 2016

Provenance:

Receieved head from a friend and bought the body off of facebook

Reason for choice:

I looked for two years for a sculpt for Darche. I knew I wanted large eyes, pouty lips, and teeth, but nothing too immature and I knew that with this sculpt I could make him look forlorn and (if he was a human) to be in his early twenties. When I saw the event page last winter I knew it was him and devised a way to get my mitts on him; lucky for me, a dear friend was making a qualifying order from Luts at that time!

Best Points:

TEEFS AND DUCK LIPS

Worst Points:

Doesn't quite fit the Aprilstory body's size/proportions/aesthetic so I am moving him to a the NEWER Mirodoll 66 cm body, but the resin match is off and he will need blushing.

Eyes:

Doll Bakery Rootbeer 16 mm

Wig:

FMD

Favourite colours:

Blues and greens

Fashion style(s):

Fantasy styles, earthy styles, medieval/peasant, and when he's masquerading as human in present day he wears a trench coat, white shirt and black slacks

Key fashion accessory:

Flute

Darche is a Sidhe (Celtic, human-like in stature and appearance, faerie) so he travels through time and wears a variety of clothing, or will, as I only have the one outfit for him right now. He'll be styled in semi-fantasy/slightly-peasanty/medieval/otherworldly clothing. When he visits the human world he likes to wear loose fitting dress shirts and slacks and his long coat, with a hat to cover his ears if his glamour isn't working.

Name story:

I was 12. I thought 'Dark' sounded awesome but wanted to spell it different. I AM SPESHUL SNOWFLAKE

Character age:

Thousands of years but in mortal years appears to be about 21

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Darche is a Sidhe of the fae world Annwn. He is a servant to the royal family of the Seelie court; his main duties as a child were to be the playmate of the Princess Rhina and so he grew up with her, is her best friend and confidante, and is, of course, secretly and madly in love with her.
Darche is part human but his family has been serving the royal family since the dawn of time and so they disregard this fact and protect him and love him as one of their own, anyway, but he never forgets and will always obey and be true to his duties and whatever is asked of him.
After Rhina was exiled form court, the Queen sent him to go with her and be her companion (or well, keep an eye on her more likely). They have lived and loved and been friends for as far back as they can remember and Darche is the only one who can stand Rhina and her mood swings and craziness and still love her for it, even though she doesn't really take that into consideration most times. He lives for Rhina, and his sole purpose is to serve her and protect her, and he will do ANYTHING for her.
But, it's not all hugs and kisses for Darche, for Rhina doesn't always return his feelings and is rather nonchalant with him.
And then there is the darkness that looms over him, controlling that human side of him with a dark magick, sucking his fae power from him slowly. His father, the druid Ither.
