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.

    Date of acquisition:
    June 11, 2005
    Provenance:
    I ordered her direct from DOD
    Reason for choice:
    I always liked the aesthetic of DOD dolls and at the time, Bee-A was their most "mature" sculpt, so she fit the character I had in mind. I also prefer the 41cm size.
    Best Points:
    She is very well-strung and stands pretty well on her own. Her seams are also very nicely sanded, though I don't think DOD provides seam-sanding service anymore.
    Worst Points:
    Compared to newer dolls, her mobility is pretty limited.

    Dollheart - straight, long, black with red streaks.

    EGL, goth, gypsy
    Key fashion accessory:
    Wedding bracelet
    Artsy gothic
  • Name story:
    Lydia was just the name that popped into my head when I was coming up with the image of her character. Scheherazade comes from the Arabian Nights, because I wanted her to be of Persian descent, and Covellone is a nod to her Italian heritage. Yueh is a name she acquired through marriage to another doll character that belongs to my friend. She became a Draculesti after being "adopted" into the family of Vlad Dracula's daughter Katja and his sister Aleksandra (two non-doll characters in my personal storyline).
    Character age:
    Physically 16, actually about 400.
    Character gender:
    female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.
    Lydia is a quiet but friendly girl who loves to draw pictures and tell stories. She hates being mistaken for a vampire because of her condition--a rare, chronic illness called Heliophobic Hypoferremia Virus (HHV). The virus causes her to be extremely sensitive to sunlight and iron-deficient. Her main source of nutrition is rusted metal--which in liquid form resembles blood.
