Date of acquisition:

April 2017

Provenance:

Bought secondhand from Instagram seller, and the seller had just received the doll and listed her for sale.

Reason for choice:

I chose this doll for her sad facial expression.

Best Points:

Beautiful face-up. Poses extremely well, too and is still posing well nearly 5 years later. The faceup has since experienced some wear but is still cute. I love her size and portability.

Worst Points:

Terrible amount of seam lines, but I've since gotten used to them. Her head magnets are starting to fall apart despite still functioning, and I wonder when I need to replace them. The headcap and headback's connection has also gotten looser over time. She was strung too tightly when I got her, I think, which has possibly caused some chipping to the pieces around the knees.

Eyes:

Light Green

Wig:

Blonde

Favourite colours:

Creams, Browns, Blues, occasionally Red

Fashion style(s):

A strange attempt at normal clothing

Key fashion accessory:

Striped Socks (borrowed from a water nixie)

Giselle isn't a huge fan of clothing, but the latest fashions from the neighboring village has changed her mind. Her water nixie friends let her wear the clothing that they steal from the humans.

Name story:

I chose the name because of the character from the ballet Giselle; the sculpt reminds me of the wili from it.

Character age:

The character doesn't have an age, she just came into being when the world was young. Still a child spirit, but eternally a child.

Character gender:

She appears to be female, but as she's a primeval forest spirit it's hard to know for sure...

Offsite roleplay:

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

Giselle is a wood nymph and ancient forest protector. She sends the wood's animals to heaven when they pass away. If you look closely enough at the night sky, you'll see a veritable plethora of creatures big and small playing together among the stars. Giselle takes her job very seriously and it's difficult to talk to her when she's focused. She's found herself a family in recent years and is currently enjoying their company.
