Date of acquisition:

July 2016 - head; July 2017 - body

Provenance:

Dollshe craft website - head ; Doll Chateau order through Angelesque - body

Reason for choice:

Bernard is my grail doll, and has been for as long as I can remember. Now that I finally have one, I can safely say I want at least two more, he's much better than I ever imagined. His body, on the other hand, is just perfect for his character. It's slim and tall, and slightly more on the feminine side - his torso is all bony and has almost wider hips than his chest, which is fitting since his character has an eating disorder and is a trans guy.

Best Points:

His slight nose bump, his face shape, his big lips - also, that resin has got to be the nicest quality I've ever laid eyes upon. For the body, his hands are some of the most elegant I've ever seen, and I just love the way his hips are sculpted.

Worst Points:

I have absolutely nothing to complain about the head, the body poses almost flawlessy but has some problems standing up and staying in slouching poses which is a problem since his character slouches a lot.

Eyes:

Glazki

Wig:

Formydoll

Favourite colours:

Red, browns, murky green, black

Fashion style(s):

Strega, mori, dark mori, boho

Name story:

At first I just named him Jan because I thought it fit him - but then he arrived in January, so it became Janus.

Character age:

20

Character gender:

Transgender male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

All that Janus remembers about his early childhood, is standing in the rain, freezing cold and terrified, and being rescued by a kind lady with very long, reddish-black hair. The woman, Miranda, took him in and cared for him ever since.
Some years later, he learned that his adoptive mother was actually a Witch (not to be confused with witch, a Witch is a person who has received world-transforming magic powers from someone else capable of using them, and so on until the first Witch, who got her powers from one of the shards of the World Creator- whereas a witch is a person who practices witchcraft), and that she was his original mother, the first time he was born (Witches can't die, and reincarnate constantly every time their physical body is destroyed) - and that he, too, was a Witch. He was always very fascinated by these sort of tales, and decided to also practice regular witchcraft (which many Witches do). He will later on turn out to be the last shard of the shattered Creator, the last one needed to end every world and start all the universes anew.

Janus is a pretty friendly guy, the type of person who can get along with anyone at first. As an angsty teen he was introverted and rude to mostly everyone, but after transitioning most of that anger died out, leavng space for his current cheerful and nature-loving self. He does have his brooding moments, needing some "me time" to recharge, but is an overall good person to be around. He's very devoted to his friends, to the point of it being dangerous to himself- good thing they all look out for each other.
