Rina

Face-up artist(s):

Zoukeimura Custom Makeup

Date of acquisition:

August 5, 2013

Reason for choice:

Initially, I highly disliked the MSD F-12 sculpt. I thought it was ugly and horrifying, with those huge gaping eye sockets! Over time, the round eyes grew on me. When Volks re-released the discontinued F-12 for a limited time in 2013, that was the time to place my order.

Best Points:

Those EYES. Also, the suwarikko body is so cute when it sits in the little w-shaped sitting position.

Worst Points:

It is very difficult to get the suwarikko body to stand straight, even when using a doll stand. It tends to collapse on itself.

Favorite Color: Sunshine
Loves: Daisies
Hates: Bath time
Hobbies: Imaginary tea parties, trying on new wigs, and posing for the camera

Eyes:

Zoukeimura / GE29 (Light Pine Needle Green) / 20mm

Wig:

Assorted Volks and Crobidoll

Fashion style(s):

Anything that I think is cute!

Name story:

Rina is Hebrew; meaning “Joy”. I selected it with the thought of "ballerina".

Character age:

7

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Rina would enjoy having other dolls as penpals and exchanging letters.
