company face-up

Summer 2015

Provenance:

ebay

Reason for choice:

I wanted a BJD for so long. I think I saw the first doll 5 years before getting Holly, always hestitant to buy one because of the high price.
After seeing her for the first time and mulling for two weeks over it, I finally bought her!

She has such a cute face!

Her legs like to kick me, when posing her...

Mako Eyes 14mm brown

acrylic yarn wig - made by me

Favourite colours:

colorful

Fashion style(s):

mostly japanese clothes, but when going out, she also dresses up in western clothes

Key fashion accessory:

leave on her head, as well as the ears and the tail

Name story:

I waited with choosing her name, until I recived her. Yet I knew i wanted something plant-based. After looking up some names and saying them out loud, Holly stuck with her!
Also it kind of felt like a christmas present, so "holly" fit well into this feeling.

With the Yokai-theme I decided to change her name to the Japanese version "Hiiragi" 柊.
Her nickname will remain as Holly, though.

Character age:

looks like 23 but is propably 60 or even over 100....nobody knows

Character gender:

female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Holly is not as noisy as the other members of the Yokai Apartment but usually cheerful and very sociable. She is very caring and with this ended up looking after the rest of the household members. She enjoys crafts and sometimes might make clothes for one of the other yokais.

She is the only one that can keep the oni of the household under control. This might be due to the fact that the plant "holly" can be used to ward of these demons.
