Nadeshiko

Face-up artist(s):

http://blog.livedoor.jp/haradaeiji-yiu51919/

Date of acquisition:

05/02/2016

Provenance:

Facebook!

Reason for choice:

I thought that three little daughters would be enough. Oh how wrong I was! Saw her up for adoption in the same Facebook group Hime came from, couldn't resist the opportunity to make a new addition to my family.

Eyes:

20mm "Cherry Blossom" Black/Chocolate Orange from FreyasDollyCorner@Etsy

Wig:

Azone International Misaki Mei default wig

Fashion style(s):

She tries really hard to emulate Kanojo's long-purged rebellious stage. Punk, goth-loli, Rocker, any kind of street fashion she can get a hold of. She still likes her pink striped panties, though. She once had long, gracious hair like her other sisters, but decided one day the tomboy bob-cut was her style. Whether she regrets it or not, she'll never tell.

Name story:

When I first got her she was meant to be a dignified, mature young woman, hence her name "Nadeshiko". Since I got her though, she's been anything but...

Character age:

16

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

The other girls stop short of calling her an embarrassment... she is, after all, a really good girl - and to be fair - it's not entirely her fault she's the way she is. The blame for that one goes to big sister Kanojo.

Kanojo had a brief "rebellious" stage earlier on in her life, a part of it she has largely banished from existence, however the young and impressionable Nadeshiko, infatuated with how grown-up and stylish her big sister is, one day managed to find long-buried evidence of Kanojo's dark past as a rebel - and has taken it upon herself, to, in spite of strong "encouragement" not to, emulate that as best she can, in an attempt to become a real grown-up, just like big sister.

Despite being the second oldest of the four, Nadeshiko far better represents Hime's position as third oldest, the two girls making an amusing irony together. Notwithstanding the fact Hime has managed to be taller and more feminine in various places, Nadeshiko's personality far better suits an adolescent than a woman standing on the cusp of adulthood.

She's loud, obnoxious and full of energy, but she really is a good girl at heart. She is completely in love with her big sister, which fortunately has made controlling, educating and disciplining her easy for the family matriarch. The promise of praise keeps Nadeshiko working hard and the fear of disapproval keeps her on the straight-and-narrow.
