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.

    Iplehouse
    Date of acquisition:
    2014
    Provenance:
    A doll that caught my attention the moment I first saw it on Cristy's site. I always wondered who she belonged to and where she was. It was another instance of someone else's doll calling my name and bonding from afar, LOL! To my amazement and delight, she eventually appeared for sale and I was able to add her to my collection.
    Reason for choice:
    Normal Skin + Iplehouse EID Carina + this unique and beautiful Cristy Stiles Stone face-up = collecting perfection!
    Best Points:
    Cristy's face-up

    I really would love to someday have a second Carina head for her, painted in the same style by the same artist but without the elaborate eye adornment.

    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Granuaile Willowmere was born to an Elven mother as the result of an ill-fated romance with a Human. This of itself was not uncommon, but woe to such children born with rounded ears...as was Granuaile. Her mother disappeared shortly after she was born (was threatened and forced to leave the village without her baby), and she was raised as barely more than a servant in an Elven family. Although in many ways more Elven than the "highborn" Elves, Granuaile soon became aware of invisible barriers of prejudice around her. Never chosen first, never awarded a prize, never allowed to become close friends with other Elven children--she gradually realized the village held only the most limited of futures for her. When she fell in love with the son of a prominent family, his parents were outraged--and despite his deep love for her he was bullied into ending the relationship and moving away to marry the suitably high-born, icy-cold daughter of an Elven politician in another village. His parents sent him away without permitting him any farewell to Granuaile, who merely awoke one morning to find all the warmth gone from her life. She makes the decision to leave without Blessing, although this will mark her as Outcast, and as she is packing her meager belongings she discovers a forgotten tatter of message from a place called "Worthington Castle, Alcott Doane". Desperate, friendless, and determined, Granuaile begins a long journey to find Worthington Castle and perhaps a bright future unlike anything she had known.
