Date of acquisition:

26 October 2009

Provenance:

Bought from a Resinsoul dealer, Think Pink

Reason for choice:

I fell in love with her face, she was one of the first BJD I found when I started looking in to them more and she just triggered something. Sparked an idea for a character, stories, pictures etcetera.

Best Points:

Smooth resin, no seamlines, delicate hands, cute facial sculpt and nice amount of detail in the body

Worst Points:

Poseability is crap, she required restringing with thicker and better elastics and hot glue sueding to get her to pose decently enough. I've wired her as well at some point, mostly to improve the poseability in her arms. When I first got her she was both floppy, kicky and slappy all at once.

Used to be a redhead, but I switched to an extremely long, off-white wig that I got for funsies but it looks great on her. In the past she's had a Carrot Mohair wig from Fairyland and a long, straight, carrot wig from Soom.

Offsite roleplay:

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

A shy and gentle being, elegant and regal. Very emotional and caring, she can even be a bit motherly to some, like Lavender and Cocoa. She's friendly and warm, but carries a sense of melancholy about her. She's a traveler, capable of visiting our world and has seen many things in her lifetime, as well as suffered loss. Despite all that though, she still cares for those around her, and still lets some people get close.
