Marilla

Face-up artist(s):

Sarinilli

Body blushing artist(s):

Sarinilli

Date of acquisition:

July 21 2016

Reason for choice:

Always loved the sculpt and it was a perfect match for the character.

Best Points:

LOVE the elf ears and smaller, slender body.

Worst Points:

I prefer joints that have the internal parts as they tend to pose better from my experience, but the body build works as it is regardless.

In July of '18 I discovered poor Marilla had suffered attack from a large feline-like monster (aka my cat somehow managed to get to her), causing damage to her hands. Holes, scratches and detached fingers. Thankfully, the fingers were not eaten and I was able to reattach them with arcane magic (aka drilling, pinning and gluing). She has scars, both physically and mentally, but her hands are again intact. Her mental wounds will eventually heal, but for the delicate water spirit that she is, she will never again trust the large furry creatures of the great forests around her home (ie my cat and she's kept in a safer location now).

Eyes:

12mm teal acrylic (YumeStyle)

Wig:

Proper: Cobalt with purple & teal Tibetan lamb's wool size 7 (Fantasydolls) / Red Curly 6-7 (Jpop Wigs)

Favourite colours:

Fashion style(s):

Elegant, cute, sweet; anything flowing or lacy; anything that resembles the ocean

Name story:

Pronounced: muh-rih-la

"Marilla" means "shining sea", a name I felt fit her character perfectly.

Character age:

Young for her race; actual age unknown

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Marilla is a water nymph (type of fae) in "human" form, however her true nature still shows through; shining "scales" can be seen through her tinted skin, her shining blue-green eyes and deep blue-violet-teal hair appearing much like her name says: like the shining sea. In her more "normal human form", she has long curly red hair, though she doesn't hide her skin differences thinking it an insult to her kind to even consider it.

Personality
Calm and patient like the water, sly, yet sweet. She's very curious, and a bit of a trickster with an innocent smile.
