Saffron

Face-up artist(s):

Loptr

Date of acquisition:

2021

Provenance:

Purchased directly from Dust of Dolls

Reason for choice:

Having a chocolate DoD was a grail goal of mine. I'd owned a Roze Heln briefly, but had to let her go for money. I often found myself wishing I'd been able to afford her in chocolate too. Chae solved both of those problems.

Best Points:

*That face, definitely
*A style of sculpting between detailed and simple
*Colour
*She can share most of her clothes with the Leekeworld Art body

Worst Points:

*Roze and Doom are two of the kickiest bodies I have ever owned, even with suedeing, wiring, and stuffing. Once they're firmly standing or sitting they're usually sturdy, but getting there is a chore.

*Finding pants can be difficult. Happily, some amazing tailors have Roze and offer for her regularly, you just have to have a fair bit of cash at the time.

Grail doll. I had long wanted a Lunn in chocolate. Then a Cham. I still want a chocolate Cham. But when this girl was announced, I knew I would do everything in my power to bring her home, or else face absurd secondhand prices I'd never be able to afford. Her face was perfect. Reminded me a bit of a student I was friends with in primary, ages ago.

In a flurry of sales, I spent the months leading up to her release letting go of anything and everything I dared, and not only made enough to get her, but another limited doll I'd wanted. Should have spent that money on bills, but they're both here now. Although we connected instantly, it took me a year or two to work up the courage to paint her, so she is still coming together. She is a stand-alone figure in a crowd.

Fashion style(s):

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Saffron is a selkie. How or why she's never told me, but she is always thinking of her family as she studies, or is off on school holiday. She's some sort of exchange / long-distance student, and half of her heart belongs to traveling; the hush of the wind and the rhythm of the ocean.
