Gorgeous face, great size, very pose able, fits most fashion doll clothing, mature tiny, great to perch around where ever I am, easy to travel with.

Best Points:

Very pose able, small mature doll, fits most fashion doll clothes, small size so easy to carry around and perch where ever I go, great mature face and face up.

Nell is a mysterious and feral woman of English country folklore; various locals have claimed to have spotted her on the moors, chasing wildlife and attacking hikers. Some claim that they have encountered her in the night breaking into their houses and stealing their clothing and food, and even worse, that she has attacked members of their family, before being chased away. Some blame her for missing people and animal deaths in the area. No one knows where she came from, but some believe she was born of the moors - an animalistic, devastating, supernatural force of nature. Some claim to have seen evidence of her living in local abandoned houses and there are stories that she has been seen further afield trying to blend in in neighbouring towns, but her tatty appearance and inability to speak gives her away and she moves on, not before she first leaves a trail of ruin, blood shed and fear behind to fuel her legend.
