Date of acquisition:

October 2020

Provenance:

First owner, purchased through directly from Bimong's site.

Reason for choice:

A somewhat smaller than average large doll, I decided that this sculpt would be more portable and add variety to my doll collection. I also think she can wear dollfie dream official outfits!

Best Points:

I appreciate the ease of changing hands offered with the magnets on the doll's wrists. There was a lot of care and skill put into the jointing system as well. This doll is hands-down the most capable of posing any way imaginable- and holding it well out of all of my other dolls. When posed, the joints look quite natural. The body itself is very pretty, and I almost don't want to put clothes on this doll as a result.

Worst Points:

She's strung a bit too tightly for my taste, but it seems necessary in order to pose as designed(?) The three part torso allows for greater mobility, but the top part is prone to swaying to one side of the body.

Eyes:

Blue Glass Eyes, purchased from Dollyteria, 12-13mm?

Wig:

Milklegs Alpaca Multicolor Wig

Favourite colours:

Shell Pink, cream, gold

Fashion style(s):

floaty, soft and feminine

Key fashion accessory:

a sword to subvert your expectations

Name story:

I think of Rhea as a delicate but powerful name that suits this doll well.

Character age:

26

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Deep within the forest there lies a spring. Beyond it is a tangle of weeds and brambles that clutch a goddess of stone. Only Giselle can remember the time it was first placed there. With Aleister's help, the family was finally able to move the statue. However, with Aleister's animation spell, the statue transformed from stone into a person. Covered in dust and brushing off bits of rubble, Rhea thanked the two for her release, and decided to stay with them in order to discover what she had missed after all of the years she spent trapped in stone. Rhea doesn't talk very often, and often gestures with the sword that she held while still a statue. Her attachment to her sword is a bit of a problem on family train rides to the city, and Aleister is in the process of getting Rhea a permit to carry around the large and conspicuous weapon.
