Ellen

Face-up artist(s):

Me (House)

Date of acquisition:

Body: March 28, 2016 ; Head: April 25, 2016

Reason for choice:

I loved the eye sculpt of The Doll Leaves Gabriel Head, and Leeke World was having an event and the art body was on sale, so I ordered it for the sweet discount.

Best Points:

The body is beautifully sculpted, and the face is so mournful. She's beautiful in a sad way.

Worst Points:

The body is horrible at posing. I blame the single joints, and also the weight centered near the bottom at the hips, that makes her hard to stand.

Len is very much a work in progress, both in her styling, and in her story. I try to work on her whenever I get time, but that is not often due to my schedule!

Eyes:

Glib Eyes

Wig:

Fatiao (From Etsy)

Favourite colours:

Brown, Golds, White, Deep Greens

Fashion style(s):

Appalachian mountain wear, basically.
Boots
Knit accessories
Heavy coats
Skirts
Tank tops

Key fashion accessory:

Worn Bag & her pink blanket

I try to make most of Len's clothing, and therefore she doesn't have a lot.
But I imagine her wearing boots, jeans, knitted hats and a heavy coat during autumn and winter, and wearing skirts, shorts, tank tops; and going bare foot during spring and summer. The one constant thing is her toting around a worn bag for collecting plants, rocks, and other goodies, and the pink ratty blanket she takes around with her everywhere.

As for faceups, I try to make her look as worn and ragged at possible. I'm still pretty new to faceups, so they are admittedly pretty bad haha.

Name story:

Ellen, called Len most of the time, is named after a friend of mine, who had the same name.

Character age:

Early 20s

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Len is from a fictional town in New York state near the border of Canada. Len's surrogate mother has recently died, and due to this loss she has become far more reclusive, spending all of her time in the woods surrounding the town. It is here that she begins to notice the strange things that happen in these woods, strange structures made of sticks, rocks stacked in impossible towers, and fairy rings occurring far too frequently to be normal. Having taken notice of things she used to overlook, Len cannot help but feel that she is being watched by some unspeakable force...
