Maighréad Mary Frances Ní Ruadháin "Maggie Rowan"

Face-up artist(s):

para_chan214

Body blushing artist(s):

me

Provenance:

Direct from Impldoll

Reason for choice:

I wanted a larger doll similar in size and proportions to popular dolls such as Feeple65 and some of the Iplehouse offerings.

Best Points:

Really great detailing for such a relatively inexpensive doll. Substantial resin. I may complain about her ability to stand, but I really really love this doll.

Worst Points:

Thick ankles. Hard to stand (one shin is slightly shorter than the other). Features crossed leg elastics which make sitting very nice. Uncrossing the elastics make standing in a variety of poses easier, but makes sitting normally impossible.
Her company faceup was rotten. Really masculine looking and not really very much like the images on Impldoll's site.

Eyes:

light grey, sent from Impldoll

Wig:

Monique style #456 in carrot red

Favourite colours:

moss greens, pinks, deep blues

Fashion style(s):

Fashion forward, even with 1941 wartime rationing, or even more fashion forward post-war Dior styles.

Key fashion accessory:

A stylish hat

Name story:

She is a Irish as they come, so I picked through Ireland's census to find pleasing names. Then I promptly Anglicized it, as she moved to Canada. I'm fighting her tendency to shorten it still further to 'Mags.' She exists mainly in my WW2 era dolly universe.

Character age:

mid 20s

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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