Rose

Face-up artist(s):

Siwoo (default A.I.R.), with lots of blushing by me to match body

Body blushing artist(s):

me (hands, manicure)

Date of acquisition:

March 2019 head, Dec 2014 body

Provenance:

Head bought on DoA marketplace from Gus251, body bought through layaway with Denver Dolls (2014), as full-set doll.

Reason for choice:

I already had the Astral In Rainbow Ruy head (also bought from Gus251), and always wanted to get Rune as well. They are the same sculpt, except that Rune has fully opened eyes, and Ruy has sleepy/squinty eyes. I love them both.

Best Points:

Gorgeous sculpt, with adorable pouty lips and big eyes.
I've re-strung the FP60 Moe body to accomodate the neck opening, and it's more stable now too.

Worst Points:

The Rune head is HUGE! HAHA

This is now the 4th version of Rose.
She has been a Souldoll Soulkid Katie, a Dollmore Eve Chami, and a Fairyland Feeple60 Rona.
Each time, she didn't quite click. I'm not much into MSD's, so way back in 2008 she had to "grow up" a bit, and became the Dollmore Chami. But, I wasn't happy with the body's design, and sold her.
As a Rona, I just didn't click with her. It's been years since I've tried to re-shell her.... *fingers crossed* for this attempt.

Eyes:

18mm greyish, in resin, made by me

Wig:

Luts DW-163 Light Brown (looks carrot red)

Favourite colours:

Reds, blues, teals, greens, greys, pinks

Fashion style(s):

Cute and comfy. Rose likes leggings, comfy oversized tops, overalls, shorts, and some dresses and cute skirts.

Key fashion accessory:

Sometimes a sheepy hat, sometimes a heart locket

Name story:

Originally liked the name Rose because of 2005 Doctor Who revival. <3

Character age:

16

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Rose is Marion's little niece.

A very long time ago, Marion had two older brothers, both of whom died, while still young. Rose was the eldest brother's daughter from a union not approved of by his and Marion's father. She was still a tiny toddler, when she escaped her family's demise, and whisked away by kind people through unusual pathways, through time, and into Marion's home in modern days (Marion got there the long way round).

Peregrin is Rose's guardian since that time.

Rose is a pretty unusual girl. She attracts unusual things, like Peach, for example. Peach has basically claimed her as his own (the way cats do), except that Peach is a spirit. Marion has long suspected that Rose too has inherited the magic that runs in their family...

The other critters (Tippi, Clio and Marbles) are pretty fond of Rose as well. They get bold and silly around her, and many a silly shenanigan occurs...
