1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    Emeraldas is the captain of the Queen Emeraldas of which she shares her title with. She is a space pirate with a great infamy throughout the known galaxy. Emeraldas is a wanderer looking for something to make her feel alive again after losing her purpose in life at several points in her journey across the cosmos. She is the older daughter of Queen Promethium of the Machine Empire, sister of Maetel, the wife of Tochiro Oyama, and the mother of Mayu.

    Matsumoto Leiji's space opera characters are all rooted in both an aspect of the golden age of piracy, and the sort of German romanticism best exemplified by the Wagnerian movement of the mid 19th Century.

    Unknown

    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Emeraldas is independent and strives to be in charge of her own life without being tied down to anyone or anything. She has a terrifying reputation as a professional killer and is feared by many. Emeraldas however only kills those who are cruel and unjust, believing in a personal code of conduct, much like her friend Captain Harlock. However, in spite of all of this, she is very lonely as she cannot find anyone to stay with her for various reasons including her wish to continue journeying through the sea of stars.

    Emeraldas however has a lot of pride in herself including her flaws, as shown when she keeps the scar on her face as a reminder to herself to not take her vulnerabilities for granted. Because of this, she refuses to get a Machine Body at every chance she had; although partly it was so that she would not end up like her mother and the intense hate she has for the Machine Empire. Even when bedridden and near death, Emeraldas would rather have an android command her ship than live forever as a soulless machine.

    Emeraldas is interested in people who dream especially when hope seems impossible for them. As such she secretly supports these people such as Hiroshi Umino. Respecting Umino's desires and wishes, she even gives him the Cosmo Dragoon once owned by Tochiro.

    She stands aloof from all the other dolls, in her own World - at least until I can acquire a Capt. Harlock to go with her...
