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.

    Princess Kaguya - like, that Princess Kaguya. More or less. A woodcutter found him in a bamboo shoot, and then gold, jewels, and clothing in subsequent bamboo plants. Getting the hint, his foster-parents raised him as a girl. Rumours of his beauty reached the nobles of Emperor Kazan's court, and then things got really annoying for him.

    He's pretty good friends with Mugetsu.

    If you want to get technical about it, he's an alien.
  • Eyes:
    14mm DollZone Glass

    MSiredoll Silver Pink
    Favourite colours:
    Dark blue, purple, pink, grey, silver - moon and dawn colours
    Fashion style(s):
    Heian women's clothing
    I'm failing my way through making him era-appropriate clothing without drowning the poor doll in cloth. Right now, he's wearing most of a junihitoe. Someday he might get one that even has an era-appropriate colour scheme...
  • Name story:
    His foster father named him "Kaguya" or "Shining" in the story I borrowed him from.
    Character age:
    Late teens or so.
    Character gender:
    Male
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Basically just the character from the story "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" with a few alterations. Because my Japanese dolls are all related to folklore concepts I wanted to explore, I thought it would be fun to play with a literary story that was adopted into folkloric tradition. Also, I really wanted to play with aliens before aliens were really a thing!

    I could have sworn a manga existed called "Kaguya-hime is a Boy" or something along those lines that I cribbed the idea from, but apparently I hallucinated that.
