Murphy

Face-up artist(s):

Myself

Tattoo artist(s):

Myself

Date of acquisition:

October, 2015

Provenance:

Ordered directly from Flower and Junior

Reason for choice:

I fell in love with her head during a DoA anniversary event challenge in which she was the prize. We were supposed to come up with a story about her and I did...and then promptly fell in love with the character I'd created!

Best Points:

She is a very unique 3-eyed sculpt of excellent quality

I wanted her to be a handbuilt automaton who was made in the "old school" way...so I chose a Volks MSD body because it's solid and sturdy.

Eyes:

MAKO eyes urethanes, Moon-002 (Red)

Wig:

Luts 7-8, half red/half black

Favourite colours:

Red

Fashion style(s):

A youthful and lacy style with steampunk touches.

Key fashion accessory:

Random gears

Murphy doesn’t quite understand fashion although she tries very hard. She dresses in a rather lacy style appropriate for her apparent age of 12, but her accessorizing is always a little “off”, with occasional steampunk touches to highlight the fact that she's actually an automaton.

Name story:

I wanted something simple, steampunk sounding, and unisex. Her maker's name was Morti, and I thought he would give his creations similar names to his own because he's quirky like that.

Character age:

Although ageless, she appears to be a prepubescent 12

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Murphy is my automaton Chronicler. She was purchased in a small town shop where a genius inventor named Morti creates one of a kind, sturdy automaton for his clients' household needs. It is Murphy's job to document all my dolls' special stories, absorbing their individual information through special sensors in her third eye, and then transcribing that information into formal journal entries.
