October

Face-up artist(s):

Luts Default

Date of acquisition:

Oct. 4th, 2013

Provenance:

Purchased directly from Luts. He came with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Reason for choice:

I saw another Tiny Delf in person and decided that I needed one, and I liked Alice's soft sweet face and chubby cheeks the best of all the sculpts available at the time.

Best Points:

Surprisingly poseable for the size. TEETH. He has beautiful subtle painted teeth in that open mouth.

Worst Points:

Hard to find clothes for that fit well, so I have to sew or knit most of his wardrobe.

Overall the Tiny Delf size is quite appealing. 14cm is a good size for babies compared to my SD scaled dolls, and that is what October was meant to be.

Eyes:

12mm Green glass (default)

Wig:

5-6 Grey mix of some sort, Luts.

Favourite colours:

Autumn colors, oranges, browns, etc.

Fashion style(s):

Casual clothes.

October has a limited wardrobe. He has some t-shirts, one beautifully knit sweater made by my mother, a couple of knit hats, made by me, and 2 pairs of shoes.

Name story:

October's name was pulled from a song by Freelance Whales. I was listening to it quite a bit and decided that I wanted a doll named October with an Autumn theme. The line of the song that inspired is "October's got those orange eyes".

Character age:

Baby

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

October is the prince of The Forest, only son of The King of The Forest, a demigod with deer antlers who created a peaceful world in a pocket universe as a safe haven for any who might need it. The Forest is connected to many different worlds, realities, times, by large wooden doors that open on Halloween every year, on Earth at least. Each door has a special time frame in which it opens, and there are some who can see the doors and open them, though most wander through accidentally.

The Forest ties in many of my stories and characters and October is the prince, half mortal, though at some point in the future, he separates his magical half from his Human side, and the small Human portion is forever encapsulated as October the baby prince, while October the demigod takes the shape of an adolescent, and has deer horns like his father.
