Shiori Tachibana

Face-up artist(s):

Me

Body blushing artist(s):

N/A

Modifications artist(s):

miffimifster (I think, her eyes have been slightly opened)

Tattoo artist(s):

N/A

Date of acquisition:

February 2022

Provenance:

miffimifster off the DoA Marketplace.

Reason for choice:

I saw her adorable face up and I had to have her. I've always wanted a SWD Syo.

Best Points:

I've given him a few faceups to try and figure out who he was. First he was Andy, my Elenion's sister, but that torch has since been passed to my Volks Luna. This faceup just sort of happened. I wanted something soft and cute and this is what I got. I like it. I'm also a simp for freckles.

Worst Points:

None. I love the delf boy body, it's one of my favorite bodies.

Eyes:

16mm Light Blue Blind Eyes

Wig:

Unknown Blonde Bob

Favourite colours:

Blue, green, and ivory.

Fashion style(s):

He wears a lot of kimono, both men and women's kimono, but mostly women's kimono, being an onnagata. He likes the patterns and colours on women's kimonos better than men's.

Key fashion accessory:

Kimono charms and hair accessories.

I have a lot of kimono for dolls. I purchased two when I lived in Japan, and then another when I got home. Then my partner gave me hers, because she didn't have any dolls that would wear them, and then I got another for my birthday one year, so I have many and up until recently, I did not have a doll that would wear them, so they just sat collecting dust. But now I have Shiori, who is my only doll not connected to my Middle Earth RP. I hope to take more pictures of him when it gets warmer, but this one will have to do for now.

Name story:

Shiori has a bunch of meanings in Japanese, but the one I subscribe to is "poem".

Character age:

18

Character gender:

Male, but femme.

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Shiori is eighteen years old and an onnagata (a male who plays female roles in Kabuki plays). He's been an onnagata since he was 16 and is very popular. He works at his family's Kabuki theatre in Arashiyama. He has very pale hair and blue eyes, which makes him both odd and unique, attributes that he's not sure that he likes. Sometimes he just wishes he were normal. He is, however, quite fond of being an onnagata.

He's very femme and enjoys/is more comfortable wearing women's clothes. He wears a lot of women's kimono and women's clothes when he goes to school. He keeps his personal life and his Kabuki life separated, because he does not want to be recognized by his fellow classmates. Sometimes he wears wigs or contacts to change his hair and eye colours.

He has a crush on the Captain of the Archery team, who is 20. His family also caters to the Yakuza, so he has a lot of fans in their younger ranks. One of the sons of one of the Yakuza Dons has a crush on him, but also thinks that he's female at the same time.

His character is under construction. He's an older character that I don't play very much
