Nollaig, or Noel

Face-up artist(s):

Iplehouse

Date of acquisition:

2014

Provenance:

Pretty sure he came through DoA Marketplace

Reason for choice:

Akando. Superhero. Need I say more?

Best Points:

Gorgeous colour, fabulous old style EID Superhero body

Worst Points:

One of his irreplaceable original Rose White feet was chipped during transit to me, so he wears contemporary Iple WS replacements 99% of the time.

I was so excited when I was able to purchase an old style EID Woman in White Skin to serve as Nollaig's true love. Sadly, she had oddly yellowed despite being kept in her original box after her original owner bought her from Iple and had her given a face-up by Pepstar. The yellowing is consistent, inside and out, and rendered her completely unsuitable to serve in her intended role due to clashing with Nollaig's skin tone.

She'll eventually become a gorgeous Faerie-Elven hybrid, making the most of her colour instead of trying to hide it...but for Nollaig, it means there is no immediate end in sight to the long dark nights of loneliness in the cold North.

Kelly Quinlan Corley has graciously consented to serve as a photo stand-in for the Mrs., as we have already begun work on some of her ensembles as well.

Eyes:

some brilliant blue glass eyes I picked up along the way with another doll

Pale blonde shades, various

Favourite colours:

Rich jewel tones

Fashion style(s):

Historically-inspired fantasy

Key fashion accessory:

Eight reindeer that actually aren't so tiny.

Nollaig, also known as Noel (and sometimes affectionately referred to as "Haldir") is our resident Father Christmas who is still sadly searching for his Mrs.

Dating has some challenges, as you can imagine.

However, in the off season he makes the most of his Elven heritage and can sometimes be found in the thick of battle against various enemies of the Light.
